Boy Bands in London

Book a boy band tribute in London

Whether it's a milestone birthday in central London, an anniversary party near Richmond or a themed night anywhere in London, a boy band tribute 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.

Boy band tributes are all about harmonies, matching outfits and choreography, and the songs are pure singalong, so they work brilliantly for groups of friends celebrating together. Our boy band tributes cover Take That, Westlife, One Direction, the Jersey Boys, The Beatles and the Rat Pack, 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 Take on Take That, WestZone, Undivided, The Essential Jersey Boys, The Essential Four Seasons, The Essential Beatles and The Essential Rat Pack.

We've been booking live entertainment since 1999, and every act on this page covers London. 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.

Parties in London range from black-tie nights at venues such as Fulham Palace to relaxed celebrations at The Gore Hotel or Eltham Palace, 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

Space and budget matter more than guest numbers. A solo tribute artist singing to high-quality backing tracks fits comfortably into a function room, a pub or a marquee at home, and is the most affordable way to put on a show. A duo or a full live tribute band adds live musicianship and more volume for a bigger room or a bigger crowd. If you tell us the space — hotel room, club function suite, marquee at home — we can usually say what has worked there 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.

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.

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

Tributes to Take That, Westlife and One Direction, Jersey Boys and Four Seasons shows, and classic groups such as The Beatles.

Many do — the choreography is part of the show for most pop boy band tributes, so check each act's video to see their routine.

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.

“I would just like to write and say a huge thank you to The Essential Jersey Boys for their performance on Friday night at our black tie Wintertime Ball. They were very professional, sounded amazing and it was a pleasure to have them around. They were easy to talk to, asked for nothing but gave a lot. The band were just like having Frankie Valli and the 4 seasons here, great sound, everyone dancing and all our guests had nothing but positive comments. Great band, great bunch of lads. Thank you.”

“Hi The Essential Robbie, Just a quick message to thank you for such wonderful entertainment on Saturday at the charity ball at The Marriott. It just got the whole place buzzing and everyone can’t stop talking about it. We had a brilliant time and will be recommending you to people. You were very professional in your performance and sang a great choice from different genres from swing, Robbie hits and other rock songs. We had a really great evening. Thank you.”

“Huge Thanks & much respect goes out to this guy, The Essential Robbie Waite, who battled illness, so as not let us down, to entertain us at our charity ball. What a professional! You put on an epic show for us & helped us raise a fantastic amount for two children's charities at £8,211.02p. You're getting to be a regular at these fundraising events, The Essential Robbie!! Many thanks, again ; )”

“The boys were Absolutely Bloody Marvellous. All of the guests (60+) thought they were amazing and as a result we are "the talk of the town". It will be hard to beat the performance that they gave, along with the crowd participation, Elton John or Robbie Williams couldn't have done better. All in all, well worth the money and I would whole heartedly recommend them to anyone of any age group.”

“I booked the boy band undivided for a charity evening and i was not disapointed. The booking team was brilliant and the singers were brilliant. Would highly recommend to everyone and would definitely book them again. The audience age range was 25 to 80 years old and everybody loved them. They were very entertaining and sang a variety of songs. They did not disapoint and we were very pleased.”

(5)

“Undivided were brilliant, they were the best performance we had on the day. Everyone was taken aback by how well they performed, they took into account the requests we made and even invited my boyfriend on stage to sing his favourite song with them. Couldn’t recommend them more, we would hire them again in a heartbeat.”
