Pop & Rock Bands in Northamptonshire

Hire a rock and pop covers band in Northamptonshire

Pop and rock covers bands play the songs everyone knows the words to. Across Northamptonshire, 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.

Northamptonshire has a great choice of party venues, from Fawsley Hall and Kelmarsh Hall & Gardens to Home Farm Events. Our pop and rock bands travel right across the area, including Corby, Kettering and Northampton, so wherever you've booked, the band will come to you.

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.

We've been booking live bands since 1999, and every pop and rock act on this page covers Northamptonshire. 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.

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.

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.

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

“Thanks for performing at my birthday party last week, you guys were totally awesome. As you were aware, everybody was up dancing for so much of the night, a few embarrassed friends are still recovering from their behaviour! I had such a fantastic night and it would never have been the same without your band playing. So many friends have asked about you, more business I’m sure.”

“East River were brilliant. We could not have asked for a better band. The quality was the highest quality and if you are lucky to find availability, book this band. All three members bring a different but equally important dimension to the live performance. We were lucky to get East River due to a late cancellation. The song list they can play is also vast. Book if you can!”

“We have booked Brando many times now for our summer party. They have never failed to encourage energetic audience participation and once people are up to dance they do not stop until the end of the set. The bands stagecraft is second to none. But they are also the most professional and polite group of musicians we have ever met. They are undoubtedly the best party band we have ever experienced.”

(5)

“Dear Hireaband - Very happy with Monte Carlo. The choice of music was good and they got people dancing. The manager of the venue also remarked that the guys were very pleasant and that she would recommend them in future. Only problem for me was I spent so much time talking to people I missed most of the second session. The problem with do's like this for the host!”

“Marcel's surprise 50th Birthday Party on Saturday night at Frankie's Farmshop, Staplehurst, Kent was a fabulous evening! Once Park Life started playing my nephew Stefan Metselaar left where he was sitting to see what was happening as he thought there was a DJ in the building??..he had travelled from The Netherlands for this party and he could not believe his ears?.. Park Life are awesome and everyone needs to hear them play!”

(5)

“Mirror who played to over 250 guests were absolutely fantastic! I couldn't have asked for anything better and our guests thoroughly enjoyed their stints between meals and full set to finish the night properly. Many commented on how good they were and are considering booking them for their own events! They were brilliant, sound incredible and really got our event going. Thoroughly recommend and I’ll be booking them again!”
