Setlist ideas - modern songs

    Our band have been offered a largish gig with a crowd mostly in their 20s.
    We play covers with the core of our setlist being classic rock, blues, rock'n'roll, and our current setlist probably won't work too well.

    We need to come up with a handful of more modern songs that we can throw in that would work well live, and aren't too tricky to learn.
    Does anyone have any recommendations?
    So far we've got:
    Get Lucky
    Can't Feel My Face
    Uptown Funk
    Wake Me Up
    Moves Like Jagger

    Thanks in advance!

    Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon goes over pretty well for us. Also Happy by Pharrell.

    Shut Up and Dance is a great one - I hadn't thought of that, but it would work really well!

    It really does - proper floor filler. Another few tunes to point you in the direction of:
    - James Bay: Hold Back the River
    - George Ezra: Budapest
    - Goats Don't Shave: Hills of Donegal (just have your guitar player cover the fiddle parts :D)

    ..Plus your standard Proud Mary, Brown Eyed Girl, I Useta Lover, My Girl, Higher and Higher sort of caper.
