Tribute Acts in Manchester

Hire a tribute act for your party in Manchester

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 Manchester recreate everyone from ABBA and Queen to Elvis, Take That and Dolly Parton.

Manchester has plenty of places to put on a show, from Manchester Hall and Ordsall Hall to The Monastery Manchester. The acts on this page travel right across the area, including Altrincham, Didsbury and the city centre, and bring the costumes, sound and lighting they need.

The category covers ABBA, Queen, The Beatles, Take That, Elvis, Michael Bublé and Dolly Parton, along with decade shows for the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. Most perform in costume as part of the show, and their pages show exactly how close they get to the real thing.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment for parties and private events since 1999. Every act listed here travels to Manchester 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

“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.”

“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”

“Mixtape were the perfect act for our NYE party!
Totally professional with banger after banger.
The music really made for some happy positive vibes the best way to begin 2019.
We did however have one complaint... the dance floor was so full they couldn't get through to dance at the front! (I mean that's the sort of complaint I like #floorfillers) would 100% recommend and hope they come back soon!”

“So in turning 40 I decided I wanted a band which would play my type of music. Enter LA Heat. These guys were the real deal - amazing costumes, great lighting show, and an Almighty performance. The set list was just awesome and wow can that singer sing?!They had amazing on stage chemistry and made sure everyone was on their feet all night. I honestly can't sing their praises enough!”
