'''Confetti's''' was a Belgian new beat band from the 1980s. Its producers were Serge Ramaekers and Dominique Sas, sometimes credited as The Maxx (not the same as Maxx, a shorter-lived German project from the mid-1990s). On stage, Confetti's was fronted by singer Peter Renkens and female dancers Marleen, Tania, Hilde and Daniëlla. The band became one of the first to break through into mainstream music as a new beat act. Their most successful period was 1988–1989 with international hits like "The Sound of C" and "C in China". Other releases were "Keep Smiling", "C Countdown", "C Day Live" and "Circling Stars". One year after releasing their last single "Put ‘M Up" in 1990, the original setting of Confetti's withdrew from the spotlight.

At the beginning of 2009, the act was revived as a tribute act under the adapted name 'The Confettis', with the artist who was the inspiration for the group and founder of the new beat dance, namely Geert Tanghe, former European champion mime and robotic dancer. At the time, he had already been asked for the group and had made a persiflage under the name "Serpentins" on various new beat underground acts that had been set up in the 1980s. With this, he had success and the video of his tournée was used several times as inspiration of the first Confetti occupation. He himself was professionally active in the development of a futuristic act, first under the name Man Machine with singles "UFO", "IFO" and "The Best Ever Seen". Later he developed Laserman with singles including "Technology" and "One Two" and toured with this act worldwide.
