Pop & Rock Bands in Hertfordshire

Live pop and rock for events in Hertfordshire

A good pop and rock band turns a room of guests into a crowd. In Hertfordshire, these bands are booked for company parties, wedding evenings, milestone birthdays and summer events — anywhere people want to sing along to songs they know, from eighties anthems and Britpop to the latest chart hits.

Hertfordshire has a great choice of party venues, from Dyrham Park Country Club and Tewinbury to North Hill Farm. Our pop and rock bands travel right across the area, including Hertford, Watford and Stevenage, 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.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched live bands with events of every size. The pop and rock bands listed here all travel to Hertfordshire, 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

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.

Expect to pay from around £1,000 for a smaller line-up up to £3,000 or more for a larger band. Line-up size matters most, then the date and any extras such as an early acoustic set or a later finish. Every quote includes travel, so nothing is added later.

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.

Use the instant quote button on this page to see prices and availability for your date. Once you've chosen a band, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the day if anything needs sorting quickly.

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.

Reviews

“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.”

“Mixtape were the perfect act for our NYE party!
Totally professional with banger after banger.
The music really made for some happy positive vibes the best way to begin 2019.
We did however have one complaint... the dance floor was so full they couldn't get through to dance at the front! (I mean that's the sort of complaint I like #floorfillers) would 100% recommend and hope they come back soon!”

“Baby Ace were absolutely incredible. From start to finish they were professional and engaging. Every single person was up dancing. Huge range of different songs, and they really stood out. Every guest said how great they were and have asked for contact details. They went above and beyond, helping my nephew to also enjoy a guest appearance. If you are unsure, just go ahead and hire them, they absolutely made our night.”

(5)

“It's really simple - book Brando and all of your friends will tell you they're the best band they have ever seen. We have booked them half a dozen times for private parties and they get better each party - something you wouldn't believe possible if you've seen them. The secret is their enthusiasm - they party as hard as you do, and don't believe in curfews....you'll never regret booking them.”

“For my 30th I decided I wanted to hire a band, and Third Wheel was recommended to me through a friend. I must admit, I was sceptical hiring a band I?d never heard before, but from the moment they started, I knew I had made the right decision. They really knew how to get the crowd going and their energy was great. They really made my night special”

(5)

“We booked Sound System for our daughter's 18th birthday at the Royal Automobile Club and were absolutely delighted. They are a small band who play a great range of music and were very accommodating to our specific requirements. The band worked closely with banqueting at Woodcote Park throughout, leaving me free to enjoy the evening. I would thoroughly recommend them to other organisers of events for all ages.”
