Pop & Rock Bands in Bristol
Hire a rock and pop covers band in Bristol
Pop and rock covers bands play the songs everyone knows the words to. Across Bristol, they're booked for Christmas parties, awards nights, weddings and big birthdays, with set lists that run from Queen, Bon Jovi and Oasis through to Dua Lipa, The Killers and Harry Styles.
Whether your event is near Portishead, Keynsham and Harbourside or elsewhere in Bristol, the bands on this page cover the whole area. Local venues include Old Down Manor, Paintworks Event Space and Leigh Court — if you're still choosing, it's worth checking where a band would set up and whether there's a sound limiter.
Not every pop and rock band sounds the same. You'll find stadium-rock specialists, indie bands, acts built around a powerful female vocalist, and party bands that move from the eighties to today in a single set. Deciding the mood you're after makes comparing them much easier.
We've been booking live bands since 1999, and every pop and rock act on this page covers Bristol. Travel is built into the quote, the band brings the PA and lights it needs, and you can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.
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.
Rather than a generic demo, each band's page shows the actual line-up you'd be booking, with videos, audio, a song list and client reviews. Between them you'll get a clear sense of the sound and the show well before the day.
The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the event. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the day in case anything needs sorting.
