80s Tribute Acts in London
Book an 80s tribute band in London
An 80s tribute act in London is one of the easiest ways to give a party a theme and a proper centrepiece. Hotels and function rooms around central London and Greenwich, social clubs near Richmond and marquees at home across London all make good settings for birthdays, anniversaries, reunions and company celebrations.
80s pop is party music by design: big choruses, synths and power ballads that everyone sings along to, which is why an 80s night is one of the most-booked tribute themes for milestone birthdays. Our 80s tribute acts cover Queen, the Pet Shop Boys, Wham!, Duran Duran, Billy Joel and the synth-pop and power-ballad hits of the decade, 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 Classic Queen, The Essential Pet Shop Boys, The Essential Billy Joel, Rocktail Party, LA Heat!, The Essential 80's, 80s House Party and Essentially Cher.

Parties in London range from black-tie nights at venues such as Grand Connaught Rooms to relaxed celebrations at St Pancras Renaissance Hotel London or Syon House at Syon Park, and plenty more in hotels and clubs around central London and Greenwich. Every act listed here travels to London, 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
The right line-up depends on the room and the budget more than the guest list. Solo tributes perform to professional backing tracks, need very little floor space and are the most affordable option. A duo or full live band brings real instruments, more volume and more of a concert feel, which suits a larger hall or a bigger crowd. Tell us about the venue and we'll point you towards what fits.
Prices usually run from £500 for a solo tribute up to around £2,000 for a full live tribute band. Where your date falls makes a difference — summer Saturdays and the Christmas party season book up first and cost the most. The instant quote shows the full price and what it includes, so there are no surprises on the night.
Before you book, watch and listen. Every act here has its own page with genuine video and audio of their performance, a complete set list and written reviews from previous clients, so you can compare how each tribute looks and sounds and choose the one that suits your guests.
Use the instant quote button on this page and enter your date and venue to see pricing and availability straight away. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day itself. Every booking comes with a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the night if anything needs sorting quickly.
