80s Tribute Acts & Bands in the South West

Book 80s tribute acts anywhere in the South West

The South West covers a lot of ground, from Salisbury, Clifton, Falmouth, Bath, Bournemouth and Plymouth. Our 80s tribute acts travel right across the region, so wherever your party is, you'll find acts on this page who already know the venues, the roads and the local crowds. They're booked for 80s nights, birthdays and themed parties.

Across Bristol, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Wiltshire, the 80s tribute acts listed here play 80s nights, birthdays and themed parties. Use the area links lower down if you'd like a list narrowed to one part of the South West.

Venues across the South West include The Manor House, Paintworks Event Space, Polhawn Fort, Sparkford Hall, Studland Bay House and Sharpham House. It's worth asking yours early about finish times and any sound limiter, as both affect what works on the night.

Across the South West you can choose from solo tributes and full bands recreating the biggest names and hits of the 80s. Most will take a few requests ahead of the day, and many can learn a special song if you ask.

We've been booking 80s tribute acts since 1999, and every act on this page travels across the South West. PA, lighting and travel are built into the quote, and you can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

What to know:

  • Budget £500 to £2,000 for most bookings
  • Every quote includes PA, lighting and travel
  • Travel within the South West is never added on later
  • Many acts offer longer or extra sets if you need them
  • Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund

The South West is a large area, so it's worth mentioning your venue's exact location when you enquire. Acts based nearby often have more availability and more experience of local venues, and we'll point you towards them.

Expect to pay from around £500 up to £2,000 or more for a larger line-up. The act, the date and your set times make the biggest difference. Every quote includes PA, lighting and travel, so nothing is added later.

Every act's page has video and audio of the performers who would actually play at your party, a full song list and written reviews from people who have booked them. It's the easiest way to judge the style before you commit.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the event. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.

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.

Reviews

“I just wanted to thank you and in particular all of LA Heat for an amazing performance on Saturday night. The band were totally professional but approachable at the same time and obviously played a blinder .....I am still a little hoarse!
I will of course pass your details on to any who enquire about similar bookings (a couple already!)”

“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.”

“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.”

“Incredible band with sensational sound - their videos do not do them justice!
Every song was a winner and could not have been happier with HAB's suggestion.
Catered so well to our picky song requests and had the dancefloor packed from beginning to end. Amazing!!”

(5)

“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.”

(5)

“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”
