Dan Sullivan22 Apr 2022
Our event was a small family party with around 50 people in attendance but we wanted to make it special as it was our first post-Covid get-together. The band definitely made it special!
I was a first-time user of Poptop so was a little nervous but Chris got in touch as soon as I'd booked the band and got some info about the event. Together we went over the set-list, our options, our plan for the way the night would run, and the band even helped out with a special request to play a song that meant a lot to my parents.
On the actual day, the band were on time, diligent in setting up, and professional at all times. Then when the time came, they rocked! Everybody commented on how good the band were, and having that live music gave the place such an atmosphere that everyone was up and dancing all night. The band were really friendly to our guests, even as the night wore on and a few of us were getting quite drunk!
The set-list was top drawer and the band didn't miss a beat - we couldn't recommend them highly enough and they were worth every penny. Several of my guests asked for their details so I have no doubt we'll be seeing them again!

We would just like to say that choosing Chameleon to do the evening entertainment for our wedding at Carlton Towers was the perfect ending to a magical day. We trusted their professionalism in the choice of music and they certainly didn’t let us down, people were dancing and singing along. The sound and lighting were spot on the voices blended beautifully. Thank you for a wonderful evening and would highly recommend chameleon for anyone’s up and coming event.

We hired the Alchemists to perform at our wedding, and they were fantastic. They did an amazing set full of suitable songs for the occasion which had people up and dancing but were also relaxed enough for others to mingle and chat.
We had to cancel our wedding 3 times over the lockdown and communication with Ryan was excellent over the year from when we first contacted them, till the big day.
If your looking for a classy, professional and above all entertaining band these guys would be your best bet.

They were truly amazing, 21st birthday with music that was so appropriate that they danced from start to finish and knew all the words - implying some of the songs were oldies and still so popular! The guests of the 60th half of the party felt so at home. Would use them again as first choice.

"What a great performance from this band not only was Ollie great as lead vocalist both the Bassist and Drummer were also awesome.
They interacted great with the crowd and everyone commented on how good they were. They kept the dance floor loaded and knew exactly what to play at right time.
I’d recommend Ollie and the boys without hesitation and I will be going to see them when they next gig!"
We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies
We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
Rock And Roll Band Hire in Leeds: a quick, confident buyer’s guide
Leeds loves a loud chorus, a big chorus, and a dancefloor that doesn’t quit. If you’re searching for a Rock And Roll Band in Leeds for a university ball, a tech or start-up social, a barn wedding, or a city birthday, you’re in the right place. We’ve booked hundreds of bands across Yorkshire, so we know exactly how to get you from “we need a band” to “that was the best night we’ve had in years” with no faff and no guesswork.
This guide covers prices, line-ups, sound checks, themes, and the small details that keep your night running smoothly. We’ll also show you how we use Poptop to make the whole thing fast and low-stress, with instant pricing and reliable suppliers.
What you can expect to pay in Leeds
For a quality Rock And Roll Band in Leeds, budget between £1,000 and £2,100. That range suits most events in the city and across West Yorkshire.
What normally sits inside that price:
Two 45 to 60 minute live sets, with a short break.
Professional PA and basic stage lighting for rooms up to typical hotel ballroom size.
Arrival about 90 minutes before the first note for load-in and sound check.
A playlist for the intervals so the music never drops.
Travel within a sensible radius of Leeds and standard finish times around midnight.
What can nudge the price upward:
Longer playing time or an extra late finish.
Larger PA and lighting for big barns or rooftop terraces.
Learning special songs beyond a first dance or one headline track.
Adding sax, keys, or a second vocalist to beef up the sound.
If you’re working to a tight figure, we’ll steer you towards three or four piece line-ups that still deliver the punch. If you’ve got headliner ambitions, we’ll build a five or six piece band with keys and horns for that stadium feel.
Line-up styles that work in Leeds
Classic rock and roll quartet with lead vocal, guitar, bass, and drums. Tight, high energy, perfect for retro sets and modern bangers.
Alt-rock covers band adding keys or a second guitar for Britpop, 00s indie, and festival anthems.
50s and 60s rock ’n’ roll specialists for the “Retro Rock ’n’ Roll Hop” theme. Think swing-ready grooves, sharp suits, and a dancefloor built for twirls.
Indie rock trio for smaller rooms or rooftops, compact but loud enough to make itself heard.
We’ll help you match the band to the space and guest list size, so you get impact without overwhelming the room.

Curated suppliers
All Poptop’s suppliers are rigorously vetted and approved by our team of party experts, ensuring you book the very best.
Leeds gives you everything from sleek city rooftops to rustic barns on the edge of the Dales, with modern hotels and indie arts spaces in between. Each space has its own rules and quirks. We’ve handled them all.
City rooftops need tidy load-ins and careful wind planning. We’ll check canopy coverage and power points, and bring weights and cable runs that keep things safe.
Modern hotels often use sound limiters. Good bands bring in-ear monitors and know how to keep a full sound at controlled volume. We’ll confirm the limiter settings before you book.
Rustic barns sound brilliant with rock bands, but they need a more muscular PA, extra lighting, and weather-proofing if any part of the set sits near open doors. We’ll size the rig correctly.
Indie arts spaces are intimate and characterful. We’ll position the drums and PA to avoid echo, and tune the set around the room’s natural tone.
Themes that land in Leeds
Yorkshire Rock Night
A love letter to local spirit and big singalongs. Expect Britrock and indie anthems that everyone knows by heart. Add black and white dress codes, simple stage risers, and a photo backdrop with your event title. Keep the set high energy with short gaps between songs.
Alt-Rock Party
For tech and start-up socials that want modern guitar-led tracks. Think festival, sneakers and smart casual. A light show that pulses with the music, and a DJ playlist built around noughties, tens, and today. It’s upbeat, confident, and a bit cheeky.
Retro Rock ’n’ Roll Hop
Perfect for birthdays and weddings. Vintage choreography, a tighter stage look, and classic tunes that invite spins and two-steps. Consider a short jive lesson in the drinks break to get the floor moving, then back to hits that cross generations.
Event-by-event planning tips
University balls
Put the band after awards or formalities so the room flips into party mode at once.
Two sets work best. First set: crowd-pleasers, second set: heavy hitters.
Add a simple photo moment before the encore. Everyone piles in, then the band closes with an anthem.
Tech and start-up socials
Keep changeovers sharp. We’ll pre-wire the stage so the DJ playlist rolls immediately when the band takes a breather.
Aim for a 9 pm first set to catch the post-networking energy.
Finish with a bang but keep a buffer before venue curfew. Managers love you for it.
Barn weddings
Schedule load-in before guests arrive if the barn has one drive access.
Use warm lighting and a slightly bigger PA. Barns absorb sound, so clarity matters.
Give the band your first dance early. They’ll learn it and wrap it into the first set, then shift gears into full party mode.
City birthdays
Compact line-ups and quick set turns are ideal for town-centre spaces.
Consider a “guest shout-out” section in the second set. It personalises the night.
Keep speeches short and the first song upbeat, then never let the rhythm drop.
How we keep sound checks smooth
We agree an arrival time that fits your room’s access window.
We place drums and amps to avoid hot spots, then ring out the PA so it’s punchy without feedback.
We tune the first three songs as a mini-line check so levels are perfect for the crowd.
We share a simple run sheet with you and the venue, so everyone knows the order.
Building a set list that works
Your Rock And Roll Band in Leeds will usually arrive with a proven set. We’ll then shape it around you.
Must-have tracks or decades that define your night.
A first dance or headline song learned to your tempo.
Short medleys that keep dancers on the floor.
An encore that sends everyone home buzzing.
We keep pacing in mind. The first five songs should grab attention, the middle opens space for singalongs, then the last ten minutes go for the jugular.
Add-ons that elevate the night
Early arrival for ceremonies or pre-drinks.
A roaming acoustic set on the terrace before the main show.
Extra lighting to lift barns and arts spaces.
Late-night DJ service after the live sets.
Sax or keys for a thicker sound.
Tell us your budget and we’ll build a package that hits the sweet spot.
Why book through Poptop
We use Poptop because it takes the friction out of booking. You see instant, all-inclusive prices, so decisions are fast and clear. The suppliers are vetted, the process is simple, and support is there whenever you need it. Here’s what that means on the night.
Enjoy a truly friendly attitude. You’re not just buying a performance, you’re getting people who know how to read a room. Leeds crowds are welcoming and honest. Our suppliers connect quickly, then keep the energy warm and inclusive, so every guest feels part of the show.
Plan your party in minutes, not days. We won’t make you chase quotes. With instant pricing and quick responses, you can shortlist, compare, and book while you’re still excited about the idea. Less admin, more celebrating.
Get an event that is uniquely yours. We’ll tailor the playlist, the look, and the flow. If you’ve got a track that tells your story, the band will learn it. If you want a quiet moment for a speech, we’ll build it in, then ramp the room back to full volume.
Relax and plan without the anxiety. We’ll keep you informed. You’ll know arrival times, set lengths, and load-in details. If the venue has a sound limiter, we’ll plan for it. If the weather looks lively, we’ll bring covers for outdoor kit. Clarity reduces nerves, and that’s half the battle.
Find what you need effortlessly. Put in the date, guest count, and your Leeds postcode. Poptop shows Rock And Roll Band options that actually match your event, which saves you scrolling and second-guessing.
Discover everything in one convenient place. Need catering, a photo booth, and a band that can do a jive medley. You can sort the lot in one go, which is ideal if you’re juggling a dozen other tasks.
Host a party that will be remembered. We back you to do something a bit special. A surprise first-dance edit, a retro opener, or an encore that brings the room to a roar. We’ve got ideas if you want them.
Book with confidence and complete security. Every supplier is checked. If something odd happens, we’ll find an alternative. Your booking is protected, and that lets you focus on enjoying the night.
Final pointers for a brilliant night
Confirm access and parking with the venue. It speeds everything up.
Give us one contact on the day. Decisions are quicker with a single point of call.
Keep the stage area clear of gifts or décor. The band needs space to move.
Choose a theme and commit. Yorkshire Rock Night, Alt-Rock Party, or Retro Hop. The stronger the brief, the bigger the impact.
