Male Tribute Acts on the Isle of Wight

Book a male tribute band on the Isle of Wight

Whether it's a milestone birthday in Newport, an anniversary party near Cowes or a themed night anywhere in the Isle of Wight, 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 the Isle of Wight. 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 on the Isle of Wight include New Barn Farm, Appuldurcombe House and Shepards Wharf Marina – The Sugar Store, each with its own local venue page below. Our acts perform right across the Isle of Wight, from Newport to Ryde, 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.

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.

Getting a price takes seconds: add your date and venue to the instant quote. After you book, we look after the paperwork, the deposit and every detail with the act, and stay on hand until the night itself. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, plus an emergency line on the night in case anything needs sorting.

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.

“Saw The Ultimate Bublé last night in Tettenhall. Only went out for a family meal to celebrate my wife Karen's birthday, had a great night, great music, great food and great company! Adam, I'm the one who exhausted myself with my finger on head "unique" dance routines!”

“Just a short email to thank you for last night. The feedback we've had today has been fantastic. Ritchie's performance was stunning again. I will be back in touch to re-book sometime once I know what dates are available to me and thanks again.”

“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.”

“Wow just wow.
We have just had Soul Sensations at our Music on the Prom event althrough the weather wasn't the best (wind and rain) these guys put on a cracking show. We have seen Motown acts before but nothing like this. The high energy, the dance moves, the vocals, the harmonising - oh my the harmonising. What a show, what a performance, what a day. We would highly recommend Soul Sensations and hopefully we will see them again at Music on the Prom. Just get them booked!”

“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.”

“We had a Freddie Mercury tribute night at our Member's Club and hired Lee from He Will Rock You with Hireaband and he was amazing! Everyone had such a great night, he got everyone up and dancing to his performance and we have had such good feedback from those who attended the evening. It couldn't have gone any better and I would definitely recommend Hireaband and He Will Rock You to anyone looking for a tribute!”
