The Essential Pet Shop Boys

Overview

Two talented musicians, great electronic sounds and an 80's attitude to glamour and performing - The Essential Pet Shop Boys Tribute Band will take you back to the days of sharp suits, shoulder pads and dodgy make up - and that's just for the guys!


The band comes with an option of 2 or 4 dancers to add visual impact to an already impressive show.  Instant quotes are for the show with 2 dancers, but we'll be happy to provide a quote for 4 dancers on request.
The Essential Pet Shop Boys have been performing since 2010 and in that time have toured with original 80's acts Go West, T'Pau, Imagination, ABC and many more.
The show is great for student nights, festivals, corporate events and private parties. With West End Girls blasting out it will be impossible not to get caught up in this heady 80's and 90's revival. Call your friends on your giant mobile phone and tell them about this band.

FAQs

How far in advance should we book?

As soon as you know your date. Weekends, especially in summer, can book up 12 months or more ahead, so the earlier you secure The Essential Pet Shop Boys, the better. We can sometimes help at a few weeks' notice too, so it's always worth asking.

What's your payment and cancellation policy?

A £250 reservation fee secures your date, and the balance is due 30 days before the event. If you cancel more than three months before, you only lose the reservation fee. Charges then rise on a sliding scale, and the full amount is due within one month of the date. Your booking agreement sets out the exact terms.

What if the timings change after we book?

That's fine. Plans often change as the day gets closer. Just let the Hireaband team know, and we'll check the new timings with The Essential Pet Shop Boys and update your booking. If you'd like to add more performance time or another act later on, we can arrange that too.

What should we expect if we've never booked an act through Hireaband before?

We'll guide you from your first enquiry to the day itself. You'll get a written booking agreement, a clear quote and a named contact. Hireaband is free to use, and with the Hireaband Price Promise you'll never pay more for an act than by booking anywhere else.

How much contact will we have with the act before the event?

We'll put you in touch with The Essential Pet Shop Boys around three months before your date, so you can go through timings, music choices and any special requests together. Until then, the Hireaband team are on hand to answer any questions.

Can we see the act perform before booking?

Most performances are at private events, so it isn't always possible to see an act live. The videos, audio and client reviews on this page are the best way to get a feel for The Essential Pet Shop Boys. If you'd like to know more, the Hireaband team are happy to talk it through with you.

How far will you travel?

Many of our acts perform across the UK. Any quote you receive already includes travel, so there are no surprise extras. For longer journeys an overnight stay may be needed, and we'll tell you before you book.

Are you insured?

If your venue asks for public liability insurance or electrical safety (PAT) certificates, let the Hireaband team know. We'll get the paperwork from The Essential Pet Shop Boys and send it to your venue.

Will we need to provide anything on the day?

This depends on the act and how long they're with you. Some need a space to get ready, parking, or a meal if they're with you for several hours. We'll confirm The Essential Pet Shop Boys's requirements with you before the day, so there are no surprises.

What happens if the performer is ill on the day?

It's very rare, but if it happens we'll find a suitable replacement. Hireaband is one of the UK's largest entertainment agencies, with hundreds of acts on our books, so we can usually cover your event even at short notice.
