Pop & Rock Bands in Devon

Book a pop and rock band in Devon

If you want the whole room on its feet and singing, a pop and rock band is hard to beat. Bands across Devon 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.

Devon has a great choice of party venues, from Watermouth Cove and Sharpham House to Bickley Mill. Our pop and rock bands travel right across the area, including Barnstaple, Torquay and Exeter, so wherever you've booked, the band will come to you.

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 Devon. 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

Guest numbers and room size decide most of it. For up to around 150 guests a four-piece is usually plenty; for a large ballroom or a crowd of 200 or more, a five or six-piece fills the space properly. Many bands also offer an acoustic set for a drinks reception before the main evening sets.

A three or four-piece typically starts from around £1,000, while a six-piece with extra vocals or keys can reach £3,000 or more. The date and your set times make a difference too. The price in your quote includes travel, PA and lighting, so it won't change once you've booked.

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.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the event. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.

FAQs

Expect rock classics from Queen, Bon Jovi and Fleetwood Mac, nineties Britpop and indie from Oasis and Blur, noughties anthems from The Killers and Kings of Leon, and current chart pop. Each band's page lists its full repertoire, and most will learn a first-dance or special request with enough notice.

Yes — it's one of the best choices for one. Most sets move through the decades, so older guests get the rock classics and younger guests get the recent hits, and there's always a run of songs everyone knows the words to.

Many can. If your venue has a sound limiter or a smaller room, look for a band that uses electronic drums or in-ear monitoring, and tell us about the limiter when you enquire so we can recommend acts that work within it.

Yes. Bands bring their own PA, lighting and usually a playlist for between sets. They'll need floor space for the line-up and power sockets nearby, so it's worth checking both with your venue, along with any sound limiter.

From around £1,000 for a smaller line-up to £3,000 or more for a larger band. The number of musicians and the date make the biggest difference, and travel is always included in the quote.

Most play two 60-minute or three 40-minute sets during the evening, with a playlist between sets and after the band finishes. Many also offer an extra acoustic set or a later finish if you need it.

“The Tommy Guns played my 50th party in July 2015 and were truly excellent. Lovely guys, timely, set-up well in advance, v polite and flexible to my requests music wise and played two brilliant sets - coupled with keeping the party going full throttle with their playlist between (and post) sets. They got everyone up dancing and made the evening for all the guests. thoroughly recommended. Thanks guys! Tim. :-)”

(5)

“We just want to say a big thank you to the guys you were amazing. Everyone was up dancing from the moment they got there right through until the end of the reception. Loads of people complimenting the band and a few asking for details so hopefully get a few more bookings for you! Once again we can't thank you enough for a great atmosphere and great music.”

“Here at the Fox we threw a big party with Hot Piece of Brass as the main attraction. We knew it would be a great night, but we definitely didn't expect the huge turnout they brought with them. The dancefloor was packed all night and the band kept everyone going for hours. They were a pleasure to work with and a great band to get people in the party spirit!””

(5)

“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!”

(5)

“Wow! What a party! The Rattlers made it so special. They managed to create a great set-list that had everyone dancing, foot tapping, and smiling. So many people came up to me and others in the family to say how great they were. The lighting rig was great too, it created a really good atmosphere even during the DJ set. Overall, I'm really pleased and would definitely book again!”

(5)

“I have put on quite a few events of this kind with different acts and may I say that you demonstrated exemplary standards of management and performance when working together on this occasion.This consistency and reliability has made my job of putting on the show a whole lot easier. As well as the fantastic show , you were all highly presentable and courteous and you were able to accommodate my requests efficiently.”
