Tribute Acts in Kent

Book a tribute band in Kent

If you want a party with a theme, a tribute act is one of the easiest ways to do it. Whether it's a 70s disco, an 80s night or an evening with one artist, hosts in Kent book tributes that look and sound the part and bring the whole room together.

Across Kent, our tribute acts play hotels, social clubs, village halls and marquees in and around Canterbury, Maidstone and Sevenoaks. Venues in the area include St Julian's Club, East Quay Venue and Leeds Castle, 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.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment for parties and private events since 1999. Every act listed here travels to Kent as standard, brings its own PA and lighting, and sets up and clears away on the night. Use the instant quote button on this page to check prices and availability for your date.

What to know:

  • Budget £500 for a solo tribute up to £2,000 for a full band
  • Every quote includes the act's PA, lighting and travel
  • Most perform in costume, often with a change between sets
  • Playlist music is provided between sets, so there's no silence
  • Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Space and budget matter more than guest numbers. A solo tribute artist singing to backing tracks fits comfortably into a function room, a pub or a marquee at home, and is the most affordable way to put on a show. A duo or full live tribute band adds live musicianship and more volume for a bigger room.

Expect to pay from around £500 for a solo tribute up to £2,000 or more for a full live band. Line-up size matters most, then the date and your set times. Every quote includes PA, lighting and travel, so nothing is added later.

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.

“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.”

“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.”

“Baby Ace were absolutely incredible. From start to finish they were professional and engaging. Every single person was up dancing. Huge range of different songs, and they really stood out. Every guest said how great they were and have asked for contact details. They went above and beyond, helping my nephew to also enjoy a guest appearance. If you are unsure, just go ahead and hire them, they absolutely made our night.”

“Huge Thanks & much respect goes out to this guy, The Essential Robbie Waite, who battled illness, so as not let us down, to entertain us at our charity ball. What a professional! You put on an epic show for us & helped us raise a fantastic amount for two children's charities at £8,211.02p. You're getting to be a regular at these fundraising events, The Essential Robbie!! Many thanks, again ; )”

“The boys were Absolutely Bloody Marvellous. All of the guests (60+) thought they were amazing and as a result we are "the talk of the town". It will be hard to beat the performance that they gave, along with the crowd participation, Elton John or Robbie Williams couldn't have done better. All in all, well worth the money and I would whole heartedly recommend them to anyone of any age group.”

(5)

“The reaction from everyone on Friday night was amazing, just like your performance, you all excelled, the music, the songs, the dancing, the theatre, the atmosphere, the interaction with the audience - where do the superlatives stop. Lis was absolutely delighted and loved every minute. You make a great team, each of you have such special skill and a great coordinator resulting in a class act. Can't thank you enough. Richrd”
