80s Tribute Acts in Norfolk

Book an 80s tribute band in Norfolk

An 80s tribute act in Norfolk is one of the easiest ways to give a party a theme and a proper centrepiece. Hotels and function rooms around Norwich and Great Yarmouth, social clubs near King's Lynn and marquees at home across Norfolk 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.

We've been booking live entertainment since 1999, and every act on this page covers Norfolk. Most bring their own sound and lighting and handle the set-up and pack-down themselves. The instant quote button shows the price, availability and exactly what's included for your date.

Norfolk has a wide spread of party venues, from Oxnead Hall and Holkham Hall to Voewood, alongside hotels, golf clubs and village halls around Norwich and Great Yarmouth. Whatever the setting, we can match the size of the act to the space, from a solo tribute in a function room to a full band in a marquee.

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.

Most bookings fall between £500 and £2,000. Solo tributes performing to backing tracks sit towards the lower end and full live tribute bands towards the upper end, with the day and the time of year making up the rest of the difference — a weekday date can cost less than a Saturday in summer or December. Your quote sets out exactly what's included, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay.

You don't have to take anyone's word for it. Each act's page has video and audio of the real show, their full song list, and reviews from people who have booked them before. Watch a few clips, check the costumes and the voice, and read what other hosts said about the night itself.

Getting a price takes seconds: add your date and venue to the instant quote. After you book, we look after the paperwork, the deposit and every detail with the act, and stay on hand until the night itself. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, plus an emergency line on the night in case anything needs sorting.

FAQs

Artist tributes such as Queen and the Pet Shop Boys, head-to-head shows like Wham! versus Duran Duran, and 80s party bands playing the whole decade's biggest hits.

Very — an 80s night is one of the most popular party themes, and plenty of guests will turn up in costume to match the act.

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.

“We booked Acceptable In The 80s for our Christmas party and what can I say? Firstly, the communication before the event was excellent and easy. We explained our requirements and they dealt with the rest. As for the evening what a great night. This is the band to pick if you want a full on party. The energy they put into their performance just made you want to get up and join in. I would not hesitate to book these guys again”

“I've had nothing but praise from the management at Pret A Manger following your stunning performance at their Summer Party at Old Billingsgate last week. You had the dance floor packed from the first song and kept them there all night. The band were awesome and the front man keeping the audience fired up didn't go unnoticed. The events company who booked you said they would definitely book the band again and recommend you to anyone looking for a great 80's band”

“I wanted to pass on feedback on Rocktail… They were absolutely FANTASTIC!!!! Out of this world! My guests, who have all seen quite a lot of bands and parties, have not stopped telling me how amazing Rocktail were. They completely rocked the party, so much so that I needn't have bothered getting tables for lunch…. No one sat down and there was NON-stop dancing all afternoon. The lead singer has an outstanding voice and the whole band just brilliant.”

(5)

“Lala Lounge was delighted with Rocktail Party's performance at our launch party. The energy levels were fantastic and their attention to detail, showmanship and hairography second to none. A thoroughly committed and passionate band, their obvious enjoyment of being on stage and their interaction with the guests really got the party started. Not only that but off stage they were professional, relaxed and resourceful under the pressure of a brand new venue.”

“So in turning 40 I decided I wanted a band which would play my type of music. Enter LA Heat. These guys were the real deal - amazing costumes, great lighting show, and an Almighty performance. The set list was just awesome and wow can that singer sing?!They had amazing on stage chemistry and made sure everyone was on their feet all night. I honestly can't sing their praises enough!”

“Hi Lisa,
Now that everything’s calmed down and I’m a bit more caught up with myself, I just wanted to say a massive thank you for all your help and to let you know that Elton went down an absolute STORM on Saturday night at our Disco Ball.
People are still commenting to me how good he was, and he certainly had everyone up dancing 😊”
