80s Tribute Acts in Surrey

Book an 80s tribute band in Surrey

From function rooms at hotels around Guildford and Woking to golf and social clubs near Epsom, and marquees going up in back gardens across Surrey, an 80s tribute act in Surrey can turn a party into a proper show. Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, themed nights and company celebrations all suit an 80s tribute act — and the act has to work just as well in a village hall as it does in a hotel ballroom.

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.

Since 1999 Hireaband has matched acts to parties across the UK, and everyone listed here performs in Surrey. Most arrive with their own PA and lights and look after set-up and clear-down, so you can enjoy the night. Check your date with the instant quote for pricing and a clear list of what's included.

Looking for a venue as well? Popular places for parties in Surrey include Bury Court Barn, Millbridge Court and Great Fosters, each with its own local venue page below. Our acts perform right across Surrey, from Guildford to Woking, and we can advise on what works best in the room you have booked.

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.

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.

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

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.
