Tribute Acts in the East Midlands

Find tribute acts for your party in the East Midlands

From Nottingham, Kettering, Grantham, Leicester and Derby, the East Midlands has a huge choice of venues and a busy calendar of birthdays, themed nights and company celebrations. The tribute acts on this page cover the whole region, and many play several dates a month within it.

Our listings for the East Midlands take in Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and Nottinghamshire. 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.

Venues across the East Midlands include Oddhouse Farm, Kelmarsh Hall & Gardens, The Bardney Hall, Winstanley House, Osmaston Park and Hodsock Priory. It's worth asking yours early about finish times and any sound limiter, as both affect what works on the night.

Across the East Midlands you can choose from solo tributes, duos and full tribute bands covering single artists, groups and whole decades. 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 act listed here covers the East 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.

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: £500 to £2,000, depending on line-up, date and how long the act plays
  • Always included: PA, lighting and travel, in every quote
  • Acts travel to venues right across the East Midlands
  • Summer Saturdays and December dates book up first
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Some venues have sound limiters, early finishes or restrictions on where acts can set up. Check these early, as they can decide which line-up is the better fit for your party.

Smaller line-ups typically start from around £500, while bigger acts can reach £2,000 or more. Summer Saturdays and December are the busiest dates. The price in your quote includes PA, lighting and travel, so it won't change once you've booked.

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.

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

A covers band plays hits from lots of different artists; a tribute act recreates one artist, group or era — the songs, the look and the stage show — so the night feels like seeing the real thing.

Yes, milestone birthdays and anniversaries are some of the most common tribute bookings — same process, same instant quote, PA and lighting included.

Yes — a marquee or a large room at home is a common setting, and a solo tribute in particular needs very little space. The same act can just as easily play a hotel function room or a social club the next weekend.

Usually, yes. Solo and duo tributes need only a small performance area and a standard power supply; for a full band, tell us the room and we'll check the line-up fits comfortably.

Typically £500 to £2,000, depending mainly on whether it's a solo tribute or a full live band, and on the date — PA, lighting and travel are always included in the quote.

Most parties book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday or a December date, when the most popular tributes go quickly.

Reviews

“After the first few chords the floor was alive with 70's retro cladded party goers. The songs were fantastic, the band musicians excellent! The band appeared to be having as good time as the party goers! Everyone has been talking about how great the party was for weeks, and in particular Chic 2 Chic. Even the gig-die-hards said "what an amazing band". If you want a special night call on Chic 2 Chic, they are worth every penny!”

(5)

“We had a Freddie Mercury tribute night at our Member's Club and hired Lee from He Will Rock You with Hireaband and he was amazing! Everyone had such a great night, he got everyone up and dancing to his performance and we have had such good feedback from those who attended the evening. It couldn't have gone any better and I would definitely recommend Hireaband and He Will Rock You to anyone looking for a tribute!”

“5 stars for Paul Thorpe best Elvis entertainer I have ever seen. He is a very friendly and helpful guy, he is just a real gent. Do go to see him if he comes to your town. You will not be disappointed. I usually see him in Grangemouth and surrounding areas, decided to go to Peterhead prison Jailhouse Rock show. Then to Glasgow the Marriot hotel. husband enjoyed his 60th Birthday treat in our own home.”

“Closing the evening out was the superbly presented three-girl vocal and dance act The Angelettes. This Motown-tribute show, performed by a trio of stunningly clad brunettes, could conceivably become a market-leading attraction on this showing. Large theatrestyle cruise venues must be the natural target for this act. Image and dance skills dovetail perfectly here with considerable vocal ability. This is an act which, if pitched correctly, could be one of the cabaret finds of 2012.”

“Just to say we had a really good time yesterday with Gerry and his wife. They were very professional and gave Jason, my sons 48th birthday, a real treat. All the other residents in the house, the carers and the rest of my family had a good time. Although it was a small audience for them ( 15 people) they pulled out all the stops with 2 sessions and further party disco music.”

(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.”
