Boy Bands in Manchester

Book a boy band tribute in Manchester

A boy band tribute in Manchester is one of the easiest ways to give a party a theme and a proper centrepiece. Hotels and function rooms around Manchester and Salford, social clubs near Stockport and marquees at home across Manchester all make good settings for birthdays, anniversaries, reunions and company celebrations.

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.

Since 1999 Hireaband has matched acts to parties across the UK, and everyone listed here performs in Manchester. 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.

Parties in Manchester range from black-tie nights at venues such as The Midland Hotel to relaxed celebrations at Great John Street Hotel or Victoria Baths, and plenty more in hotels and clubs around Manchester and Salford. Every act listed here travels to Manchester, 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

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.

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.

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.

“Really great to see a Beatles tribute band who look like they're enjoying themselves and can actually play! Seen a lot of bloated pie eating, balding, boring ones who seem to have enlarged egos out of 'thin hair'. A lot of disappointing ones out there, this lot leave them far far behind, top notch!”

“A really excellent experience from start to finish. We'd originally booked WestZone for pre-Covid, so had a long wait for the evening. The reception from our audience was extremely positive. Great 4-piece harmonies and lots of tunes everyone knew. We're already looking at booking them again through Hireaband.”

“Great NYE show with WestZone. Communication was good throughout and Adam, the band manager very professional in all dealings. Audience really appreciate their performance and asked for them to come back. They'll be back, I'm sure.”

“Can you let the boys know that we all had a fantastic time. They were absolutely brilliant, they really got the party going. I have had so many compliments from my friends and comments on how brilliant the band were! The band were professional, sang, danced and looked great too. I will always remember it, the best party ever thanks to 'Take on Take That”
