Girl Bands in Durham

Book a girl band tribute in Durham

Whether it's a milestone birthday in Durham, an anniversary party near Bishop Auckland or a themed night anywhere in Durham, a girl 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.

Girl band tributes bring the harmonies, the outfits and the girl-power attitude, which makes them a natural fit for birthdays, hen parties and any night where the dance floor wants a singalong. Our girl band tributes cover the Spice Girls, ABBA, the Supremes and the Motown girl groups, and vintage close-harmony trios, 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 The Ultimate Spice Girls & Girl Power Party, Absolute ABBA Tribute, Sirens Of Soul, The Essential Soul Sisters, The Dotty Belles, The Angelettes and 90's Baby Show.

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

Looking for a venue as well? Popular places for parties in Durham include Bradbury Glade, South Causey Inn and Hardwick Hall Hotel, each with its own local venue page below. Our acts perform right across Durham, from Durham to Darlington, 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.

Yes — the singalong hits and costumes make a girl band tribute one of the most fun acts for a birthday or celebration.

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.
