Tribute Acts on the Isle of Wight

Tribute shows across the Isle of Wight

Few things get a crowd singing like a great tribute. Guests know every word, the costumes add to the fun and the whole room joins in by the end. Tribute acts covering the Isle of Wight recreate everyone from ABBA and Queen to Elvis, Take That and Dolly Parton.

Across the Isle of Wight, our tribute acts play hotels, social clubs, village halls and marquees in and around Newport, Ventnor and Ryde. Venues in the area include East Afton Farmhouse, Royal Ocean Racing Club and Barton Manor, and our performers are used to adapting their show to the room.

Within this category you'll find solo tributes, duos and full tribute bands, covering single artists, groups and whole decades. Many offer two sets with a costume change, and some can combine a tribute set with a general party set later in the night.

Since 1999, Hireaband has supplied tribute acts for celebrations of every size. The acts listed here all travel to the Isle of Wight, bring their own PA and lighting, and include travel in the price. The instant quote button shows pricing and availability for your date in seconds.

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: £500 to £2,000, depending on line-up, date and season
  • Always included: PA system, lighting and travel costs, in every quote
  • Line-ups from solo tribute artists to full live tribute bands, with playlist music between sets
  • Most parties book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday or December
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Most tribute acts perform two sets of 45 minutes to an hour, often with a costume change in between, and provide playlist music during breaks. If you'd like a special song or a birthday moment, let the act know beforehand and they'll build it into the show.

Most bookings fall between £500 and £2,000. Solo tributes performing to backing tracks sit towards the lower end and full live tribute bands towards the upper end, with the date making up the rest of the difference. PA, lighting and travel are included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay.

Rather than a generic demo, every act's page shows the actual performer or band you'd be booking, with videos, audio and a set list. The reviews underneath come from people who have booked them for parties like yours.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the event. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.

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

“Thank you so much for arranging Abbatones for our daughters 21st on 7th June.
Abbatones were fabulous. The dance floor was full all night and the girls were excellent at interacting with the crowd. We managed to keep the whole thing a secret which was amazing and our daughter had the greatest night. I would highly recommend them for a fun night.”

“Can you let the boys know that we all had a fantastic time. They were absolutely brilliant, they really got the party going. I have had so many compliments from my friends and comments on how brilliant the band were! The band were professional, sang, danced and looked great too. I will always remember it, the best party ever thanks to 'Take on Take That”

“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)

“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.”

(5)

“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.”
