Boy Bands in Newcastle upon Tyne

Book a boy band tribute in Newcastle upon Tyne

Whether it's a milestone birthday in Newcastle, an anniversary party near Gateshead or a themed night anywhere in Newcastle upon Tyne, 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.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment for parties and private events since 1999. Every act listed here travels to Newcastle upon Tyne as standard, and most bring their own PA and lighting and set up and clear away on the night — use the instant quote button on this page to check pricing, availability and exactly what's included for your date.

Newcastle upon Tyne has a wide spread of party venues, from The Biscuit Factory and Wylam Brewery to Newcastle Civic Centre, alongside hotels, golf clubs and village halls around Newcastle and Gateshead. 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

The right line-up depends on the room and the budget more than the guest list. Solo tributes perform to professional backing tracks, need very little floor space and are the most affordable option. A duo or full live band brings real instruments, more volume and more of a concert feel, which suits a larger hall or a bigger crowd. Tell us about the venue and we'll point you towards what fits.

Prices usually run from £500 for a solo tribute up to around £2,000 for a full live tribute band. Where your date falls makes a difference — summer Saturdays and the Christmas party season book up first and cost the most. The instant quote shows the full price and what it includes, so there are no surprises on the night.

Every act's page carries video and audio of that exact show, so you can see the costumes, hear the voice and judge how close the tribute is to the real thing, rather than relying on a generic demo, alongside their full song list. Underneath are written reviews from people who have already booked them. Between the videos, the set list and the feedback, you can form a clear picture of the night well before you commit.

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.

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.

“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.”

“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.”
