Pop & Rock Bands in Surrey

Pop, rock and indie bands in Surrey

Pop and rock is the broadest, most crowd-pleasing sound you can book. In Surrey, bands playing rock classics, indie anthems and current pop are a favourite for office parties, weddings, festivals and celebrations, because there's something in the set for every age group.

Across Surrey, pop and rock bands are booked for events in and around Woking, Farnham and Epsom. Venues in the area include The Barn at Botley Hill, Great Fosters and Gate Street Barn — each with function rooms that can take a full band and a dance floor.

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 Surrey, 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

Most rooms suit a four or five-piece. A three-piece is a good choice for a smaller venue or tighter budget, while a six-piece with keys and backing vocals gives the biggest sound for a large function room. Tell us the venue and guest numbers and we'll suggest what tends to work.

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.

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

“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.”

(5)

“Lala Lounge was delighted with Rocktail Party's performance at our launch party. The energy levels were fantastic and their attention to detail, showmanship and hairography second to none. A thoroughly committed and passionate band, their obvious enjoyment of being on stage and their interaction with the guests really got the party started. Not only that but off stage they were professional, relaxed and resourceful under the pressure of a brand new venue.”

(5)

““We saw The Pocket Rockers on New Years Eve and they made my night! By far, the best party band I’ve seen. They just knew how to get the crowd going and had a brilliant mix of songs to hype us up. Seemed like they really enjoyed playing too, and were great at crowd interaction which just lifted the whole mood even more. Would definitely recommend them for any event.””

(5)

“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.”

(5)

“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!”
