Hire a Pink Floyd Tribute Band in the UK: The Complete Buyer’s Guide

If you want that unmistakable Floyd atmosphere at your event, you’re in the right place. We’ve helped thousands of organisers book tribute acts that sound authentic, look the part, and keep guests talking for months. In this guide, we walk you through the key choices for hiring a Pink Floyd tribute band in the UK, what it costs, how to fit the show to your venue, and how to book with total confidence on Poptop.

Why Choose a Pink Floyd Tribute for Your Event

A great Floyd show gives you soaring guitars, rich vocal harmonies, atmospheric keys, and that slow-burn drama guests love. It works brilliantly for outdoor stages, big tops, barns, racecourses, and anywhere you’ve got space to breathe. Pink Floyd tributes also scale down neatly for weddings and private parties with a two-set format. Think acoustic first set for early evening conversation, then the full electric experience with lasers after dark.

Event Types That Suit Pink Floyd Best

• Village festivals that need a headliner with broad appeal
• Marquee weddings where the evening set needs to feel huge
• Council shows and community programmes with family friendly rock
• Holiday parks looking for a signature weekend show
• Corporate summer parties and product reveals that want a premium feel
• Charity nights where a recognisable back catalogue boosts attendance

Venues and Spaces That Work

• Marquees and barns where production can be brought in piece by piece
• Stately homes with parkland for outdoor staging and after-dark lighting
• Racecourses with existing power and vehicle access for quick load in
• Showgrounds with open sightlines for lasers and projection
• Large hotel suites and arts centres with good in-house PA
• Holiday park theatres and clubrooms with raked seating

If your space is smaller, don’t worry. Many tributes offer compact rigs and clever lighting that still give you that immersive feel.

Typical Formats That Audiences Love

• Greatest Hits plus lasers. A set list built around the big moments: Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Time, Money, Wish You Were Here, Another Brick In The Wall, Comfortably Numb
• Two-set evening. Acoustic warm up at cocktail hour, then the full electric show with lighting and effects after sunset
• Feature concert. A tight 90 minutes for festival changeovers, no filler and maximum impact

What It Costs

Expect a professional Pink Floyd tribute band to sit between £1,200 and £4,500. Where you land in that range depends on:

• Band size and line up. Five to nine performers is common, sometimes including female backing vocals and sax
• Production level. Basic wash lighting and a compact PA at the lower end; full lighting, lasers, haze, and a bigger PA at the top end
• Travel and dates. Summer Saturdays and bank holidays carry a premium
• Set length and extras. Overtime, early load ins, late finishes, and bespoke visuals add cost

We’ll always show instant, all inclusive pricing on Poptop, so you can compare options without waiting for quotes.

How Big Should the Band Be

You’ll find line ups from lean 5 piece to full ensemble. Here’s a quick steer.

• 5–6 piece. Great for weddings and private parties, fast to set up, good value
• 7–8 piece. Adds backing vocals, keys and sax for that extra colour
• 9 piece and above. The big theatre sound with multiple vocalists and extended solos

If you want a particular era, say Dark Side heavy with sax features, mention that in your brief and we’ll filter to the right acts.

Production: PA, Lighting, and Lasers Explained

A Floyd show feels cinematic, so production matters. Here’s how we think about it.

• PA. Indoors for 120–250 guests, a 2–4 kW system is typical. Outdoors or in very large rooms, 5–10 kW with subs is common
• Lighting. Expect stage wash, backlight and simple chases as standard. Moving heads and pixel effects lift the look for larger spaces
• Lasers. Brilliant for the signature “Great Gig” and “Comfortably Numb” moments. Use only with trained operators and safe audience distances. If your venue has a laser policy, we’ll help the band supply risk assessments
• Haze. Vital for light beams to show. Check the venue’s alarms and get permission in writing

If your venue already has a decent PA and lights, tributes can often plug in and go. Otherwise, most bands bring turnkey production.

Power, Stage and Space

• Power. Two separate 13 A sockets on different circuits is the bare minimum. Larger rigs prefer 16 A or 32 A feeds if available
• Stage. A comfortable footprint for a 6–7 piece is roughly 6 m by 4 m. Add more depth if you’re including drum risers or projection screens
• Roof height. Aim for 3.5 m or more to get lights and lasers above head height
• Blackout. The show looks better after dusk. For daytime events, ask about LED screens or heavier lighting to keep the mood

Run of Show That Keeps Energy High

• Load in and soundcheck during the afternoon
• Acoustic first set of 40–45 minutes as guests arrive or between courses
• Short break with curated background music
• Electric headline set of 70–90 minutes after dusk
• Encore with crowd favourites and singalong chorus

We’ll help you keep changeovers tight and keep the dance floor busy from first chord to last note.

How to Tailor the Set List for Your Crowd

A good tribute will shape the night to your audience.

• Weddings. More “Wish You Were Here,” “Learning To Fly,” and “Another Brick In The Wall” to keep it familiar
• Festivals. Longer instrumentals and medleys for the purists
• Council shows. Family friendly edits and a bigger focus on singalongs
• Holiday parks. Tight 60–75 minute show with punchy transitions

Share the must plays and no plays when you book. We’ll lock them in.

Add Ons That Elevate the Show

• Saxophonist for the classic solos
• Backing vocal trio for those lush harmonies
• Projection visuals to mirror the album eras
• DJ or curated playlist to cover intervals and finish the night
• Extra lighting to suit a bigger stage or outdoor field

These options are easy to add at checkout on Poptop.

Safety, Licences and Neighbours

• Noise. Check any venue sound limiters. We’ll advise the band to set levels that sit below thresholds
• Curfews. Outdoor events often have a 10 pm or 11 pm cut off. Build that into the timeline
• Lasers and haze. We’ll provide risk assessments on request and confirm venue permissions before the day
• Insurance. Professional tributes carry public liability. We’ll keep documents on file for venue managers

How We Adapt to Your Location

The UK is full of brilliant spaces for a Floyd show and every region has its quirks. Rural villages love a festival style layout with food trucks and an early evening acoustic set. Coastal holiday parks work well with tight 60 minute features and strong visuals. City centre hotels often require compact rigs and careful load in windows. Tell us your postcode and we’ll match you with tributes that already know the local venues, sound policies, and logistics.

Writing a Great Brief

Give us three things and we’ll do the rest.

• Your top five songs or albums
• How you want the night to feel, from laid back to full arena energy
• The one non negotiable, such as a specific first dance or a blackout time

The clearer the brief, the better the fit.
