Tribute Acts in the North East

Find tribute acts for your party in the North East

Finding the right tribute act is easier when you can see every option in one place. This page covers all of the North East, from Gateshead, Hexham, Stockton-on-Tees and Darlington, and every act listed travels to venues across the region for birthdays, themed nights and company celebrations.

Our listings for the North East take in Durham, Middlesbrough, Newcastle upon Tyne and Northumberland. 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 North East include Close House, The Barn on the Bay, Solberge Hall, Lumley Castle, Jesmond Dene House and Doxford Barns. It's worth asking yours early about finish times and any sound limiter, as both affect what works on the night.

The category covers solo tributes, duos and full tribute bands covering single artists, groups and whole decades. Their pages show exactly what each one plays, so you can match the act to your guests and your venue.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment since 1999. Every act listed here covers the North East, 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.

What to know:

  • Budget £500 to £2,000 for most bookings
  • Every quote includes PA, lighting and travel
  • Travel within the North East is never added on later
  • Many acts offer longer or extra sets if you need them
  • Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund

Most acts perform two or three sets, with playlist music or a break in between. Share your running order when you enquire, including any special moments, and we'll build the quote around it.

Expect to pay from around £500 up to £2,000 or more for a larger line-up. The act, the date and your set times make the biggest difference. Every quote includes PA, lighting and travel, so nothing is added later.

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.

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.

“I booked the boy band undivided for a charity evening and i was not disapointed. The booking team was brilliant and the singers were brilliant. Would highly recommend to everyone and would definitely book them again. The audience age range was 25 to 80 years old and everybody loved them. They were very entertaining and sang a variety of songs. They did not disapoint and we were very pleased.”

“Last night (31st Jan), was the second time we have seen you, the first time we saw you, we were blown away with just how good you sounded, and last night confirmed just how good you really are. We have recently passed our 50th birthday, so we both enjoy the 60's era. Thank you for another fantastic evening of Good Music again. Hopefully seeing you again soon.”

“Hi Lisa,
Now that everything’s calmed down and I’m a bit more caught up with myself, I just wanted to say a massive thank you for all your help and to let you know that Elton went down an absolute STORM on Saturday night at our Disco Ball.
People are still commenting to me how good he was, and he certainly had everyone up dancing 😊”

“The girls were amazing singing 10/10 routine 10/10 costumes 10/10. Three of the
most stunning girls on stage that held a crowd all night. They got the bar singing
and dancing from the word go! This bar is normally empty around 9.30 on a regular
friday, not tonight , it was still very busy right till the end of the final set ! Well done
girls!”

“If you are considering adding Wow factor to a party then look no further than the amazing Jay who is a Frank Sinatra impersonator with class, style and panache. My daughter's 21st birthday was the most special event because of his engaging, professional and warm presence. Hireaband made it simple to organize the event and I recommend that you don't hesitate to book Jay now.”
