Pop & Rock Bands in Blackpool

Live pop and rock for events in Blackpool

If you want the whole room on its feet and singing, a pop and rock band is hard to beat. Bands across Blackpool are booked for corporate events, private parties and wedding receptions, and most can shape the night from indie and classic rock to floor-filling pop.

Whether your event is near the Promenade, Poulton-le-Fylde and Thornton-Cleveleys or elsewhere in Blackpool, the bands on this page cover the whole area. Local venues include The Imperial Hotel, North Promenade, Grand Hotel Blackpool and Park House Hotel — if you're still choosing, it's worth checking where a band would set up and whether there's a sound limiter.

Within pop and rock there's plenty of choice: seventies and eighties rock, nineties Britpop and indie, noughties anthems or current chart pop. Most bands cover several of these across the night, and their song lists show clearly where each one's strengths lie.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched live bands with events of every size. The pop and rock bands listed here all travel to Blackpool, include travel in the price, and arrive with their own sound and lighting. The instant quote button shows pricing and availability for your date in seconds.

The essentials:

• Typical cost: from around £1,000 for a smaller line-up to £3,000 or more for a larger band, depending on date and set times
• Line-ups from three and four-piece bands to six-piece bands with extra vocalists or keys
• Two live sets plus a DJ playlist between and after sets as standard with most bands
• Travel, PA and lighting are included in every quote
• Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Check the room size and any sound limiter before you choose. Rock sets can be loud, so a band used to playing at a controlled volume — or one with electronic drums — is worth considering for smaller rooms or venues with strict limits.

Most pop and rock bookings fall between about £1,000 and £3,000. The number of musicians is the biggest factor, followed by the date — Saturdays in summer and December are the busiest. Travel is included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay.

Every band's page has live video and audio of the musicians who would actually play, their full song list and written reviews from people who have booked them. It's the easiest way to check the energy and the sound before you commit.
