Pop & Rock Bands in the West Midlands

Pop and rock bands across the West Midlands

Finding the right pop and rock band is easier when you can see every option in one place. This page covers all of the West Midlands, from Hereford, Worcester, Kenilworth, Lichfield, Warwick and Shrewsbury, and every act listed travels to venues across the region for wedding receptions, corporate parties and celebrations.

Our listings for the West Midlands take in Birmingham, Coventry, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire. Each of those areas has its own page too, which you'll find in the links further down, but the acts here will travel to any of them.

From Dewsall Court and Eckington Manor to Mallory Court Country House Hotel & Spa, Alrewas Hayes, Ettington Park and Pimhill Barn, the venues across the West Midlands range from grand country houses to barns, hotels and city spaces. Our acts are used to adapting to all of them.

Across the West Midlands you can choose from chart pop, indie, classic rock and party-anthem bands. Most will take a few requests ahead of the day, and many can learn a special song if you ask.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment since 1999. Every band listed here covers the West Midlands, and PA, lighting and travel are included in the quote you receive. Use the instant quote button on this page to check prices and availability for your date.

What to know:

  • Budget £1,000 to £3,000 for most bookings
  • Every quote includes PA, lighting and travel
  • Travel within the West Midlands is never added on later
  • Many acts offer longer or extra sets if you need them
  • Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Most acts perform two or three sets, with playlist music or a break in between. Share your running order when you enquire, including any special moments, and we'll build the quote around it.

Expect to pay from around £1,000 up to £3,000 or more for a larger line-up. The act, the date and your set times make the biggest difference. Every quote includes PA, lighting and travel, so nothing is added later.

Rather than a generic demo, every act's page shows the actual line-up you'd be booking, with videos, audio and a song list. Underneath are reviews from clients, often at venues you'll recognise.

Use the instant quote button on this page to see prices and availability for your date. Once you've chosen an act, 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.

“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!”

“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!”

(5)

“Thank you so much for playing at my party last night and helping to make it such a success. We really had a great time and hope we will be at another event where the band is playing. I have had lots of emails and texts today commenting on how much they enjoyed the party and how impressed they were the band. Many thanks again and we wish the band continuing success.”

“Hi James, Thank you so much, everyone really loved the band and I’ve had some really brilliant feedback from lots of our guests. It was fab music and you guys helped to create a wonderful atmosphere! Everyone had a really good dance – I seem to remember the dance floor being constantly occupied. Honestly, we couldn’t have asked for more. You set up very quickly and quietly and then produced some brilliant music.”

(5)

“Hi both, we've had many compliments from our guests about your performances and we couldn't be more pleased with how things went. Not only did you provide fantastic live music, but you did it in a tight spot with minimal help from us! We sincerely believe that we could not have chosen a better band for the day and want to thank you both for coming. Mr & Mrs Miller :)”

(5)

“The Tommy Guns were absolutely fantastic! They were all so friendly and accommodating with the venue and having to carry their equipment up the hill! Their performance was incredible and the two songs they kindly learnt for us were bang on! We loved every minute of it and will be singing their praises to anyone else we know wanting to hire a band! Thank you so much!”
