Since the idea seems to be that people will do the searching in this thread, that makes this a Thread Game. Moving.
Well, there is:

Oops sorry, always forget about Thread Games! Thanks for moving.
Since I haven’t seen a list of the answers I can also join in…
Level 42 - elf playing on handheld device
Danger Mouse - I think though it’s among other cartoon characters so could be something else
Wet Leg - lady near the front
Embrace
Elbow - the wet legged lady gets albowed by the guy
Doves
Crowded House - at the back
Definitely Danger Mouse; along with Gnarls Barkley, he is half of the band Gnarls Barkley.
Oh and Santas Grotto has a 7 taped to it and the grotto looks like a shed. So: Shed 7
Snoop Dogg (the sign in the pet shop door)
And I assume the Robin is for the singer Robyn
Either or both of which could also be The Byrds
Taylor Swift
Salt-N-Pepa
The line for Santa says “Queue this way only”. In other words, One Direction.
And there’s also a guy eating an ear of Korn.
Is Running with Scissors a band?
I see a lot of Men Without Hats.
Oh, and Santa is the guy in the wanted poster, who appears to have a vulva in place of a nose, but I’m not sure what either of those things means.
They were an early '90s band, though I don’t think they were particularly big.
That’s Tailor, (Swift).
Grateful Dead (dead guy with thank you note)
Or, White Zombie.
Oh, and if we’re going to count Men Without Hats, then I should point out that all of these People appear to be in a Village.
There’s also arguably Madonna, though that usually refers to Mary actually holding Jesus.
And all the assorted birds have Wings. I don’t see any Beatles, though.
