About these Tribute Bands & Soundalikes

What could be better for creating a party atmosphere than going to see a tribute act?! You don`t have to go through the effort of fighting your way through traffic to get to a huge venue, to then pay hundreds of pounds see a tiny dot in the distance that is the real artists - it's much more convenient to go to your local venue and watch a bunch of talented people, who have thoroughly researched the original artists, play all your favourite songs at a tremendous gig! Hire Tribute Bands for parties, weddings, functions and corporate events to get your guests or clients up off their seats dancing and dancing to your favourite artists... in the setting they were supposed to be seen in!

Sadly, you probably don't have a spare hundred thousand pounds to pay Madonna to perform at your house... but you may well be able to afford the next best thing! Tribute bands are more popular than ever these days. Everyone has a favourite band or artist that they love, and what could be more special than being serenaded by them! (or at least someone who looks and sounds very similar). Browse through our 145 tribute bands and find your ideal wedding or party band. We have everything from ABBA and Elvis, and Take That to The Blues Brothers... with everyone in between!.

"I just wanted to drop you a line following the Abba night at the Wyllotts Theatre to say a big thank you! My other half and I had a really fun night, we really enjoyed the act and the audience participation, we were up on our feet dancing too! We came away singing Abba for the rest of the night (very badly)! Personally I have to say the song highlight for me was 'The Winner Takes it All' really well sung, but obviously enjoyed all the dance stuff too. Thanks again, we had a great night out."

More about our Tribute Bands for Hire

Ideal for:

Tribute bands will suit any event with a strong theme, be it a public or private show. If you're planning a 70's or 80's themed event, why not take the evening to a whole new level by inviting your guests to dress up, decorate the venue and hire your very own pop star to perform at it! Don't forget, many tribute acts will also be prepared to perform at house concerts, just in case you've ever wondered what it would be like to have Michael Buble serenade you and your friends in your living room!

When booking a tribute band:

The key to booking a good tribute act is to think about the audience they are performing to. If the audience at your event is older, then a more "classic" tribute might be to their liking, whereas a younger audience may appreciate a more recent act or 90's tribute. While a tribute or soundalike will doubtless perform as many of their chosen artists hits as they can, if you have a particular favourite, make sure to request it far enough in advance that they will have it prepared for you.

Some tributes will perform with a live band, while others will elect to use backing tracks to save room on stage and cut down on cost. Make sure you have ran through details like this with your performer, as well as the other information they will need (arrival, timings, address and directions for the venue etc). In short, the more information you both have... the better!

Prices for Tribute Bands & Soundalikes:

Tribute acts will generally charge a little more that other solo musicians, as they have to specialise and research their particular artist to a ridiculous level of detail. Your typical solo tribute act using backing tracks will charge a minimum of £200 for a private event.

About a Tribute or Soundalike's repertoire:

Often, not only will tribute acts try their best to sound like their chosen artist, but will try to encompass all the different aspects of their performance. For example, fans of Frank Sinatra may well experience a bit of ol' blue eyes famous on stage banter during a tribute's gig!

The more popular a band or act, the higher the chance of them having a tribute act. Use the 'advanced search' feature to find tribute acts near to you.
