70s Tribute Acts in Birmingham

Book a 70s tribute band in Birmingham

Whether it's a milestone birthday in Birmingham, an anniversary party near Sutton Coldfield or a themed night anywhere in Birmingham, a 70s tribute act turns a gathering into a show your guests will talk about. The same act has to work in a hotel ballroom one week and a village hall or back-garden marquee the next, and the best ones do.

The 70s is the decade of the dance floor: ABBA, disco and glam rock are made for parties, and a 70s night gives guests an easy theme to dress up for. Our 70s tribute acts cover ABBA, Queen, Elton John, Rod Stewart, the Bee Gees, Chic and the disco era, from solo performers singing to backing tracks through to full live bands, most performing in costume as part of the show. Acts on our books include Abbatones, Arrival, Absolute ABBA Tribute, Flash – A Tribute to Queen, The Essential Elton John, The Essential Rod Stewart, Chic 2 Chic, Disco Inferno and The Essential Four Seasons.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment for parties and private events since 1999. Every act listed here travels to Birmingham as standard, and most bring their own PA and lighting and set up and clear away on the night — use the instant quote button on this page to check pricing, availability and exactly what's included for your date.

Parties in Birmingham range from black-tie nights at venues such as New Hall Hotel & Spa to relaxed celebrations at Castle Bromwich Historic Gardens or Fazeley Studios, and plenty more in hotels and clubs around Birmingham and Solihull. Every act listed here travels to Birmingham, so you can choose on the show rather than the postcode.

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: £500 to £2,000, depending on line-up, date and season
  • Your quote shows exactly what's included, from travel to PA and lighting
  • Line-ups from solo tribute artists to full live tribute bands
  • Most parties book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday or December
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Start with the space you have. In a function room, a pub or a marquee in the garden, a solo tribute singing to backing tracks gives you the full show for the lowest cost. For a ballroom, a big hall or a crowd that wants live musicians on stage, a duo or full tribute band is the better fit. We can usually tell you what has worked in similar venues before.

Expect to pay somewhere between £500 and £2,000. The biggest factor is the line-up: a solo tribute to backing tracks costs less than a full live band. The date matters too, with Saturdays in summer and December in highest demand, while weekday and off-season dates often cost less. Your quote lists exactly what's included, with no extras added later.

Every act's page carries video and audio of that exact show, so you can see the costumes, hear the voice and judge how close the tribute is to the real thing, rather than relying on a generic demo, alongside their full song list. Underneath are written reviews from people who have already booked them. Between the videos, the set list and the feedback, you can form a clear picture of the night well before you commit.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote to see prices and availability immediately. When you've picked your act, we take care of the contract, deposit and arrangements, and keep in touch right up to the party. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund on every booking and an emergency contact line on the night.

FAQs

ABBA is the best-known, alongside Queen, Elton John and Rod Stewart tributes and disco shows built around the dance-floor hits of the decade.

That's usually the point — ABBA and disco in particular are some of the most reliable dance-floor fillers there are.

Yes — a marquee or a large room at home is a common setting, and a solo tribute in particular needs very little space. The same act can just as easily play a hotel function room or a social club the next weekend.

Usually, yes. Solo and duo tributes need only a small performance area and a standard power supply; for a full band, tell us the room and we'll check the line-up fits comfortably.

Typically £500 to £2,000, depending mainly on whether it's a solo tribute or a full live band, and on the date. Your quote shows exactly what's included.

Most parties book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday or a December date, when the most popular tributes go quickly.

“Alan was fantastic, he played 3 sets with the middle one being Elton John which was fabulous. He read the crowd and knew exactly what would get everyone going. We had a mixed age range and everyone loved it. Highly recommend Alan for any party.
Thanks to the team at Hire a Band for organising everything for us.”

“Wayne & Morgan, what can I say. You Had the Cowglen Golf Club bouncing last night. A full house for a top drawer act, you two guys sure know your stuff. The hard work you both put in is amazing. Soul Sensations will be back next year, we can't wait till we're dancing on the ceiling again.”

“Fantastic! They tailored the set to our needs (we did an 80's themed Charity Ball). They were full of energy and got everyone up dancing, including a full "Locomotion" around the room. They kept us informed and worked well with our DJ, getting ready and set up beforehand. They were all polite and just a great band.”

“Thank you all for an amazing night! My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her birthday surprise, the group were very exciting and well presented. Tom (stage & sound engineer) was very professional from start to finish. All our guests were full of compliments for the group.”

“Everything was perfect from start of booking to end of performers time on stage. Essentially Cher was absolutely amazing - the feedback from guests was extremely positive. I would have no doubt in recommending this performer, thank you so much x”

“James went above and beyond for our night, he had the audience up dancing and singing for the full show. I would highly recommend the Essential Rod Stewart to anyone looking to book.”
