Overview

LA Heat are here to bring back the 80s! Playing the biggest anthems and pop classics they will be sure to raise to roof on any event they perform at.

La Heat are a group of 4 guys who share an insatiable passion for classic anthemic rock from the 80s.

With a combined experience of over 50 years performing with the likes of Spin Doctors, GUN and Supergrass, these guys are the real deal, combining their outstanding musicianship and tightness with a unique performance that will have any audience in absolute rapture. Catering for all occasions from weddings, corporate functions, Christmas parties or festivals, LA Heat will leave you in fit of nostalgia and euphoria, reminiscing about the feel good anthems of the 80s.

If a whole night of the 80s is not quite for you, the band can offer a DJ service to provide some variety if you like (or to keep the 80s theme going of course).

The band were very professional played a great range of song and everyone at the party said they sounded great.

We were lucky enough to have the pleasure of LA Heat at our wedding and from the moment they took to the stage they didn’t disappoint. They were energetic, interactive with our guests and played hit after hit with so much skill and enthusiasm, it was like being transported back to the 80s!

They were the highlight of a pretty incredible day, everyone that came to the wedding was left buzzing by what they’d witnessed and a lot of my friends were very keen to see them play again in the very near future.

In addition to the above, what my wife and I experienced was a group of guys so determined to be helpful and positive and to ensure we had the most stress-free experience possible. Greg and the guys were so collaborative, they built a set list unique to us and our needs, and they adapted when they needed to on the night.

I only plan on getting married once, but if I had to do it all again there is no other band I’d go with. LA Heat were, in one word, amazing and we’re so, so grateful they played at our wedding.

I just wanted to thank you and in particular all of LA Heat for an amazing performance on Saturday night. The band were totally professional but approachable at the same time and obviously played a blinder .....I am still a little hoarse!
I will of course pass your details on to any who enquire about similar bookings (a couple already!)

So in turning 40 I decided I wanted a band which would play my type of music. Enter LA Heat. These guys were the real deal - amazing costumes, great lighting show, and an Almighty performance. The set list was just awesome and wow can that singer sing?!They had amazing on stage chemistry and made sure everyone was on their feet all night. I honestly can't sing their praises enough!

What a night?! We went for LA Heat after reviewing about a million traditional wedding bands and decided we want something a bit more "us". The guys were just amazing! We spoke to them before to discuss our preferred set list and they performed with so much energy we may as well have been at Wembley Stadium. Our guests were just overwhelmed by their awesomeness and I'm sure there were many sore throats the next day from the anthemic singalongs!

We hired LA Heat for our Christmas Party and, my word, they did not disappoint! Amazing show, fantastic musicians, and just an all round great night.You could tell straightway that these guys just love what they do and they had amazing energy which fed through to the audience! The dance floor was heaving all night long and they even got people up on the stage for a bit of rock-a-oke which was brilliant! I would seriously recommend them for any party or wedding looking for a bit of throw back anthemic rock!

I am a huge fan of 80s rock and was looking for a "different" band for my wedding. By booking LA Heat I got much more than I bargained for. They ran the night like clockwork, were so easy to deal with, and most importantly, they played an absolute blinder. It was genuinely like going to see a Bruce Springsteen concert in terms of the energy and fun they had. The lead singer was absolutely incredible and the mix of 80s anthems and rock ballads was exactly what my wife and I were looking for. Our guests were talking about the band all night and I honestly couldn't have been happier with our choice!

FAQs

How far in advance should we book?

As soon as you know your date, really. Popular dates (weekends, especially in summer) can book up 12+ months ahead, but we've also pulled off cracking gigs with just a few weeks' notice if we're free. The earlier you lock it in, the more choice you'll have.

How much do you charge?

You can use the instant quote button on this page to get a price straight away — your fee will appear on screen, and you'll also get a follow-up email confirming it. If we're available and you're happy with the price, get back in touch with the Hireaband team to secure the date. It's very much first come, first served, so if we're available, don't hesitate.

What's your payment and cancellation policy?

Hireaband will ask for a reservation fee to secure your date, with the remaining balance due before the event (your booking confirmation will have exact dates and amounts). If you need to cancel or postpone, get in touch as early as possible — the closer to the date, the harder it is for Hireaband to fill the slot, so the cancellation terms reflect that. Full details are in your booking agreement, but the Hireaband team are always happy to talk through the specifics.

What if any timings change after booking you?

No problem at all. We know that timings and details aren't always set in stone at the booking stage, and plans have a habit of evolving as your big day gets closer. We're happy to be flexible around changes to your schedule, and if you decide further down the line that you'd like to add on any extra services, just get in touch with the Hireaband team and they'll sort it out for you.

What should we expect if we've never booked a live band before?

Totally understandable if this all feels a bit new! Booking a band is a big part of your day, so we're here to make it as straightforward as possible. We've performed at countless weddings and events, and the Hireaband team will guide you through every step, from your initial enquiry right through to the big day itself. If you're ever unsure about anything, just ask — that's what we're here for.

Can we see you perform live before booking?

We don't always have public gigs to invite you to (weddings tend to be private!), but we're always happy to jump on a call and talk you through what to expect. A public performance will often be posted on this page too, so it's worth checking back — and if we do have one coming up, we'll gladly send details your way.

How much contact will we have with the band before the wedding?

Hireaband will put you in direct touch with us around 3 months before your date, so you can go through all the finer details together — song choices, timings, any special requests and so on. In the meantime, the Hireaband team are always on hand to answer any questions you have, so you're never left waiting.

How many songs will the band learn especially for me?

We're happy to learn your first dance or a special request. Other songs depend on the time frame given and what the songs are. We're always keen to learn new things, so do let us know and we'll try to accommodate as best we can for you.

Can we choose our own setlist?

Yes, within reason. We have a core set of crowd-pleasers that we know works brilliantly, and we're experts at reading a room and picking the right songs on the night to keep everyone dancing. We're also always happy to tweak the setlist based on your taste — send us a few "must plays" and a few "please avoids" and we'll build the night around them. Just bear in mind that learning brand new songs from scratch (aside from your first dance) depends on notice — see above!

Will you be able to do my first dance?

Given enough notice, yes. It takes a while for us to rehearse a song to the high standards that we set ourselves. If you can give us at least 8 weeks' notice, that should be fine. The song also has to be suitable for a band. If we can't do it justice, then we can put it on an iPod and go seamlessly into our set at the end of it.

How much space does the band need?

This will vary depending on the size of the band and the setup on the night, but we've performed at a huge variety of venues and can comfortably fit into most spaces that have hosted a live band before. If your venue has anything a little unusual about it, we can usually find a way to make it work, so just get in touch if you're not sure and we'll be happy to advise.

What kind of music do we play?

We're dedicated to classic anthemic 80s rock, playing hits from Bon Jovi, Guns N' Roses, Def Leppard, AC/DC, Aerosmith and more. Expect big singalong choruses and stadium-rock energy from start to finish.

How experienced are we?

We're four musicians with a combined 50+ years of performing experience, including with the likes of Spin Doctors, GUN and Supergrass. That experience shows in our musicianship and stagecraft, whatever the size of the event.

Are we suitable for weddings and corporate events, not just parties?

Absolutely - we regularly play weddings, corporate functions, Christmas parties and festivals, and reviewers particularly highlight how we'll build a set list tailored to the couple or client rather than just playing a standard show.

How long do you take to set up?

We ask for around an hour to set up and check everything is working, but if it needs to be shorter, just let us know and we'll always accommodate as best we can.

How far will you travel?

We regularly perform all over the country, so distance really is no object, but we will require an additional fee for travel and may need bed and breakfast arranged for us. Any price you receive already includes travel costs, so there won't be any surprise extras on top.

Will we need to feed you?

It depends on timings, but generally some hot food would be hugely appreciated. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. Normally a catering company will provide a 'crew meal' as part of their package, or we're happy to have evening food that's already available.

What do you wear?

We tend to be 'smart casual' as in our pictures and video. However, we can be smarter or more casual depending on your event and requirements.

How long do you perform for?

As standard, we provide 2 x 1hr or 3 x 40 minute sets as required on the night, up until midnight. We can play past midnight, but it can incur an additional fee. We are flexible though and will always try to accommodate your requirements. We can also add an additional 1hr set for a small fee!

Do you take breaks, and what happens to the music then?

Yes, we'll take short breaks between sets to grab a drink and catch our breath! During these breaks we'll have background music playing through our own PA system, so there's never a dead moment on the dancefloor. Just let us know if you have a particular playlist or Spotify account you'd like us to use.

Will the band provide a DJ service?

Yes, as standard we provide a playlist DJ service whenever we're not performing — so between sets and after our last set, right up until midnight (or your curfew if earlier). These are tried-and-tested playlists that we've refined over countless events, but you're also welcome to send us your own playlist to play instead. If you'd like a bit more than that, we offer an upgrade to a manned DJ service, where a band member stays on hand throughout to look after the music and take requests on the night.

Can you arrive earlier and finish later?

Our standard on-site time runs from 6pm to midnight, but we're happy to be flexible around your schedule. Whether you need us there earlier for an afternoon slot or performing later into the night, just let us know your requirements and we'll do our best to accommodate — additional fees may apply for extended hours.

Do you offer any optional extras?

Yes! On top of our standard package, we can offer a range of optional extras for an additional fee — things like extra performance sets, a manned DJ service, acoustic sets for your ceremony or drinks reception, and more. Just let us know what you have in mind and we'll see what we can put together for your day.

Do you provide all your own equipment?

Yes, all we need is a clear area in which to set up and a power supply.

Are you insured and PAT tested?

Yes to both. We carry full public liability insurance, and all our equipment is PAT tested annually. Hireaband will send your venue any certification that's required.

Can you work with sound limiters?

Yes. We don't 'love' them, but we absolutely can work within them.

What happens if one of the band is ill on the day of my event?

We have a network of fellow musicians that we can call on to stand in on the rare occasion one of the band is ill. On top of that, Hireaband is the UK's biggest entertainment agency and has access to dozens of wedding bands in your area even at the very last minute. However, we've never missed a gig yet.
