I wanted a great Elvis experience fir my brothers birthday.
Gary Graceland was extremely helpful in making what turned out to be a great event. Actually a brilliant event. Gary was a great Elvis tribute and a great entertainer too. He was absolutely first class. He went completely over the top to provide a superb show. Looking forward to hiring you again soon. Best wishes.

What a night to remember. These ladies arrived and put on a SHOW! Amazing audience interaction, and did a brilliant selection of songs. EVERYONE was on their feet and our venue has never been so lively! If you’re thinking about an ABBA themed night, don’t hesitate when it comes to these two superstars. We can’t wait to have them back in the future x

Dean! You were amazing!! Thank you so so much for a fabulous evening. You truly made my nan and grandads party extra special and I'm sure you made everyone's night (certainly made mine and my friends/families)! I'm so happy I went ahead and booked your Elvis service. I'll be recommending to all my friends, family and colleagues and I hope we certainly cross paths again in the future. Thank you for a fantastic evening Dean! Communication was 10/10 also with fast responses, and all questions and queries I had were cleared up. All the best! Highly recommended.

Our event was quite short notice (only a few weeks away) but I was really pleased with the responses and options Poptop generated. Of those responses, The Voice of Vegas closely matched our theme so literally fitted the bill. Anthony and Nikki are very experienced, attentive and versatile so even before the event we were able to discuss content, make arrangements and get well organised. I was quite busy on the day, they arrived promptly, they scoped the venue, we talked it through and they executed the set-up/sound check with minimal fuss. Anthony delivered a good performance with some nice touches so ticked all the boxes. He used his experience and craft to deliver his act and react to the room, getting my guests up on their feet. Anthony and Nikki are nice people, professional and eager to deliver a successful show to the customer’s (me, in this case) requirements. My guests then spoke highly of the show and clearly enjoyed themselves – what more can I say? Erm...no complaints and can only recommend.

The Ultimate UK Guide to Hiring a Tribute Band
Across the length and breadth of the UK, from a summer wedding in a Cornish barn to a milestone birthday in a Scottish village hall, there’s one thing that unites us all: a love for a good party with great music. As event professionals, we’ve seen it time and time again – the single best way to get people smiling, dancing, and singing at the top of their lungs is with a fantastic live band playing the songs they know and love. And nothing delivers that experience quite like a brilliant tribute band.
Hiring a tribute act is about bottling pure nostalgia and unleashing it on your dance floor. It’s the sound of your favourite artist, with all the energy and spectacle of a live concert, right at your own event. But with so many amazing acts across the country, where do you start? Don’t worry, we’ve got you. Consider this your roadmap to finding and booking the perfect tribute band, wherever you are in the UK.
Why a Tribute Band is a Surefire Hit for Any UK Event
A great tribute band has a unique power: they bring people together. They tap into a shared love for a particular artist or era, creating an instant connection with your guests. This makes them an incredibly versatile and effective choice for all sorts of celebrations, big and small.
- Idyllic Village Weddings and Marquee Parties: Whether you're in a marquee in the Cotswolds or a beautifully decorated village hall, a tribute band can turn your reception into a mini-festival. Imagine an 80s tribute getting everyone from the kids to the grandparents doing the electric slide under the stars.
- Local Festivals and Community Fairs: A well-known tribute act is a huge crowd-puller. A band playing rock legends or a set of 90s pop anthems can be the headline act that gets the whole community buzzing.
- Milestone Birthdays and Anniversaries: What better way to celebrate a 50th birthday or a golden anniversary than with the music of their youth? A tribute to their favourite band is a thoughtful, personal touch that creates unforgettable memories.
Ultimately, you want to host a party that will be remembered. Poptop specialises in extraordinary services that go beyond the typical party offerings. A fantastic tribute band allows you to create a memorable and exciting event that surprises your guests and truly reflects your unique style.
Setting the Stage: Perfect Venues Across the UK
One of the best things about planning an event in the UK is the incredible variety of venues on offer. You don't need a city-centre concert hall to host an amazing gig; sometimes the most unique spaces create the best atmosphere.
Marquees and Gardens
The classic British summer party! A marquee offers a blank canvas to create your perfect setting. Just be sure to think about the practicalities – you'll need a flat, dry area for the band to set up, and a reliable power source. A pop party or country-rock crossover band is perfect for that festival-in-a-field vibe.
Barns
Rustic, charming, and often with fantastic acoustics, converted barns are a hugely popular choice for weddings and big parties. They provide a wonderful, relaxed atmosphere where a rock legends or 70s tribute band can really let loose.
Village Halls
The heart of many communities, the humble village hall is a brilliant, budget-friendly option. They’re a blank slate you can decorate however you like. Just double-check their rules on live music and what technical equipment they have available.
Small Theatres
Hiring a small local theatre can give your event a real sense of occasion. With a proper stage, lighting, and sound system already in place, it’s a hassle-free way to make a performance feel extra special.
Save yourself the time and effort of searching multiple websites. Poptop brings all your event needs together in a single marketplace. Whether you’re looking for a special touch for your village wedding or need to arrange everything from catering to entertainment, you’ll find it all right here.
What's the Soundtrack? Choosing Your Perfect Theme
This is where the fun really begins. The UK is home to an incredible array of tribute acts covering almost every genre imaginable. Think about your guests and the atmosphere you want to create.
Decade Nights (70s/80s/90s)
The ultimate nostalgia trip. A decade-themed party is a fantastic excuse for fancy dress and guarantees a playlist of non-stop, sing-along hits. Whether it’s 70s disco, 80s new wave, or 90s Britpop, you can’t go wrong.
Pop Party
A tribute to a single, iconic pop artist is a brilliant focal point for a party. Think ABBA, Queen, Taylor Swift, or Oasis. These acts have a universal appeal that will get everyone on the dance floor.
Rock Legends
For a party with a bit more punch, a tribute to a legendary rock band like AC/DC, Bon Jovi, or Foo Fighters will bring an electrifying energy. Perfect for a crowd that loves to headbang.
Country and Rock Crossover
A growing trend that’s perfect for summer parties and barn weddings. Tributes to artists like Dolly Parton or bands that blend country with rock ‘n’ roll create a feel-good, foot-stomping atmosphere.
Your vision for your event is what matters most. Our suppliers excel at tailoring their services to you. Fancy building a playlist around your favourite songs or need a special first dance number learned? Just ask. This flexibility ensures you get a personal experience that perfectly matches your expectations.
Counting the Pennies: Budgeting for a UK Tribute Band
Let's talk numbers. For a professional tribute band anywhere in the UK, you should look to budget between £900 and £2,200, plus travel.
That's quite a wide range, so what factors affect the final price?
- Reputation and Demand: A top-tier tribute act that tours nationally will command a higher fee than a more local band.
- Number of Members: A 4-piece band will cost less than a 9-piece soul band with a full horn section.
- The Date: A Saturday in June will always be more expensive than a Friday in January. Bank holidays and New Year's Eve are premium dates.
- Travel Costs: This is the big variable. If you’re hiring a band from London to play in Glasgow, you will need to cover their fuel, time, and potentially an overnight stay. Booking a band that's more local to your event is often the most cost-effective option.
Your time is valuable, which is why waiting around for quotes is so frustrating. At Poptop, we provide instant, all-inclusive pricing. You can see the full cost, including any travel fees, right away. It means your planning process is smooth, fast, and completely hassle-free.
Top Tips for a Flawless Performance, Wherever You Are
Booking a band from the other end of the country can feel daunting, but it doesn't have to be. A little forward planning ensures everything runs like clockwork.
- Do Your Research: Watch videos, read reviews, and listen to demos. You want to be completely confident in their sound and performance style before you commit.
- Talk Tech: Every band needs space and power. Confirm their requirements (often called a 'tech rider') and check that your venue can accommodate them. Ask if their equipment is PAT tested and if they have Public Liability Insurance – most venues will insist on this.
- Confirm the Logistics: Be crystal clear on arrival times, setup, soundcheck, and performance slots. Provide the band with the venue address, a contact person's number, and details on where they can load in and park.
Forget the anxiety of wondering if everything is on track. We provide clear communication and updates at every stage of the planning process. Knowing exactly what's happening and when allows you to feel confident and relaxed, so you can simply look forward to your celebration. And because you can trust that your event is in safe hands with our vetted suppliers and our money-back guarantee, you can book with complete security.
Ready to Press Play on Your Party?
A brilliant tribute band does more than just play music; they create an atmosphere. They connect with your guests, create a buzz of excitement, and leave everyone with amazing memories of a truly happy event. You don’t just get a service; you get an experience.
