Edward was fantastic! He is a great performer - very entertaining, funny and really engaged with the audience well. He sounded, looked and danced just like the real MJ. We have had amazing feedback from all our customers who have asked for us to have him back. Thank you Edward!

"Even better than we anticipated. A superb voice and well executed dance moves. He demonstrated empathy with severely disabled client.and made a point of recognising that as he was blind he needed a close performance.
Everyone was extremely impressed, encouraged participation. I would highly recommend and will be hiring Edward again,"

5/5 for service and performance! From start to finish David was professional, engaged the crowd and kept the atmosphere buzzing. David was an extra surprise to my Husband's 40th Birthday Celebration and kicked the night off perfectly. We highly recommend! Well done David...great night! Hee Hee :)

Hire a Michael Jackson Tribute in London: The Smart Buyer's Guide
If you’re planning a London event and want guaranteed goosebumps when that first “hee-hee” hits the room, a Michael Jackson tribute is a powerful choice. The capital is stacked with venues that suit slick production, from West-End style theatres to glass-walled roof terraces, and crowds here know their “Billie Jean” from their “Beat It”. In this guide, we’ll show you how to find the right act, shape the show around your space, and book with confidence so everything feels seamless on the night.
Who This Guide Is For
We wrote this for London organisers who need clarity and speed. Corporate event planners with tight run-sheets, brand teams launching something bold, private clients celebrating a milestone birthday, hotels programming a big New Year’s Eve, anyone who wants a world-class experience without wading through endless emails. We’ll keep it simple, practical, and focused on outcomes.
The Tribute Formats You Can Book in London
London hosts every flavour of MJ homage. Choosing the right format is about your audience size, your venue, and the atmosphere you want.
Solo lookalike and live vocalist
The most popular choice for city events. One performer delivers the vocals, choreography and iconic look, supported by high-quality backing tracks. It’s nimble, it sets up quickly, and it suits ballrooms, members clubs and roof terraces with limited stage depth. For London bookings, solo lookalike and vocalist shows typically sit around £700 to £1,100, with final pricing shaped by date, set length and production needs.
Vocalist with dancers
Add one or two professional dancers for the full “Smooth Criminal” silhouette and snappy formations. This lifts the spectacle for corporate awards where you need big visual moments between speeches. It works well on hotel stages and in theatres that already have lighting rigs.
Live band tribute
For the feel of a concert, choose a vocalist fronting a live band. It’s ideal for West-End style theatres or larger hotel ballrooms. You get the punch of live drums and guitar, which helps when you want a dancefloor that takes off after dessert. This format needs more space, more sound, and a bit more lead time with tech.
Headline set or scene-setter
Consider how the tribute sits in your night. A 45-minute peak-time headline is perfect for NYE and brand launches where you want a single, explosive moment. Two 30-minute sets work at awards and upscale birthdays where you need to pace the evening and keep energy building.

Where an MJ Tribute Really Sings in the Capital
London venues shape the show. A little planning ensures the experience matches the space.
West-End style theatres
You’ll get tiered seating, a real proscenium and an in-house tech team. This is the place for a band or a dancer-supported show. Use front wash lighting and a haze machine for those “Thriller” silhouettes. Build a simple narrative arc: early hits, a ballad moment, the big moonwalk reveal, then a finale medley.
Hotel ballrooms
Ballrooms love clean staging. A solo lookalike and vocalist with dancers fits beautifully, with a compact riser, PA and neat lighting trees. Sound checks are quick, the load-in is easy, and you keep the timeline tight for awards and auctions.
Roof terraces
London roof terraces are stunning, but you need to respect neighbours and sound limits. Keep the rig compact, use focused lighting, and consider an earlier showtime before curfew. A solo show with wireless mic and portable PA is the safe bet here.
Members clubs
Expect intimate rooms with excellent service and short turnarounds. The solo format shines, especially if you want the performer to weave through the crowd, work the tables and make it feel personal.
London-Ready Themes to Make It Feel Bespoke
A theme helps you brand the night and brief the act with confidence.
Thriller in the City
Lean into London’s skyline and drama. Black and deep-red palette, a quick lighting change to create shadow play, and a set that travels from “Smooth Criminal” to “Thriller” with a choreographed finale. Great for corporate awards when you want a high-impact closer.
Mayfair Motown Night
Blend MJ’s early Motown roots with the later solo anthems. Smart dress code, vintage accents, and a first set that nods to classic soul before the second set hits the 80s power tracks. Works a treat in ballrooms and members clubs.
Canary Wharf Moonwalk
Slick, modern and high-gloss. Think chrome, mirrors and a countdown reveal. Ideal for brand launches on the Wharf or roof spaces with city views. Open with “Don’t Stop ’Til You Get Enough”, land the moonwalk in “Billie Jean”, then hand straight to the DJ.
What It Costs in London and What Shapes the Price
For a solo lookalike and live vocalist in London, expect a typical range of £700 to £1,100. Your final figure moves with:
Date and demand, peak Fridays in November and December carry a premium
Set length and number of sets
Whether PA and lighting are included or the venue supply them
Early load-in, late finish, or complex access
Travel and parking inside central zones
If you’re stretching a budget, we’ll help you get maximum impact: one focused 45-minute set at the perfect moment, clever lighting from the venue’s rig, and a short meet-and-greet that delivers big perceived value.
