Male Tribute Acts in East Sussex

Book a male tribute band in East Sussex

Whether it's a milestone birthday in Brighton, an anniversary party near Hastings or a themed night anywhere in East Sussex, a male tribute act 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.

A male tribute is built around one unmistakable voice. A good one gets the look, the moves and the between-song banter right as well as the songs, so it feels like a proper show rather than a covers set. Our male tribute acts cover Elvis, Michael Bublé, Frank Sinatra, Rod Stewart, Robbie Williams, Elton John and Freddie Mercury, 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 Essential Elvis, Supreme Buble, The Ultimate Buble, The Essential Sinatra, The Definitive Rod Stewart, The Essential Robbie, Classic Queen and He Will Rock You.

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

Across East Sussex, tribute nights take place everywhere from country houses to hotel suites and private marquees. Popular venues in East Sussex include Chalk Farm, Hendall Manor Barns and Flimwell Park, and our acts regularly travel to parties in and around Brighton and Eastbourne. Tell us where you're holding yours and we'll suggest acts that suit the room.

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.

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.

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.

FAQs

Solo tributes to singers such as Michael Bublé, Elvis, Rod Stewart, Robbie Williams and Frank Sinatra, and full tribute bands to acts such as Queen and Take That.

Many can — crooner tributes such as Sinatra and Bublé often sing a laid-back set over dinner before moving into party songs later.

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.

“Thank you so much for such an excellent performance on 2nd at the Albert pub. I was so impressed and it was such a success so thank you. You were extremely flexible and everyone absolutely loved your act, it exceeded all expectations! If I can ever give a recommendation then please let me know. Thanks again and hope you have a great Christmas! Danielle”

“What a nice bloke, The Definite Rod really was Rod Stewart, he engaged with the audience getting even the most reluctant of participates into the dance floor, clap or sway, making my mother-in-law the talk of the bowls club.

We all thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment and would highly recommend David Williams aka Rod Stewart to everyone.

Thank you
Michelle & Pete”

“Alan was fantastic, he played 3 sets with the middle one being Elton John which was fabulous. He read the crowd and knew exactly what would get everyone going. We had a mixed age range and everyone loved it. Highly recommend Alan for any party.
Thanks to the team at Hire a Band for organising everything for us.”

“Wayne & Morgan, what can I say. You Had the Cowglen Golf Club bouncing last night. A full house for a top drawer act, you two guys sure know your stuff. The hard work you both put in is amazing. Soul Sensations will be back next year, we can't wait till we're dancing on the ceiling again.”

“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.”
