Guide To Booking A Live Band In London

Everything You Need To Know

99% of function bands will provide all the equipment they need to perform at your event, including instruments, microphones, amplifiers and a PA system. Most bands will also provide some stage and disco lighting for the perfect live show. Prices should also cover costs that are unique to London, such as ULEZ, LEZ and the Congestion Charge.

The standard performance time for cover bands in London is 2 x 60 minute sets, and it's normal for bands to provide a playlist of party music or background music which would run through their PA system whilst they're not performing.

Standard London function band prices are usually based on an arrival time of around 6pm, with the final performance finishing no later than midnight. If you require an earlier arrival time, a longer performance time or a later finish time, this can be arranged at an additional cost. It's worth keeping in mind that parking can be tricky at many event venues in central London, and you may wish to ask your ban to arrive earlier, and liaise with your venue's event manager to ensure the band can get a parking space, as well as use of any service lifts.

Some bands will learn a special request, such as a first dance for wedding couples, whereas others might charge a small fee for this service. Please ask your Alive Network entertainment coordinator for advice on specific bands.

Many London party bands for hire also offer a range of other upgrades, including additional members for a bigger line-up, DJ packages, jazz or acoustic sets for a drinks reception, PA / lighting upgrades, photo-booths and light-up letters. Many bands can provide everything you need for an entire day and an unforgettable night of amazing party entertainment.

Your band will also provide PAT and Public Liability Insurance certificates.

Every booking made with Alive Network also benefits from one-to-one support from your dedicated entertainment coordinator, a secure contract for your peace of mind, and 24/7 emergency cover in case of accident or illness.

The average cost to hire live bands in London and the London boroughs for 2025 was £1743, but prices vary greatly depending on the number of members in the band, how long you want them to perform for, travel distance to your event, how experienced the band are, how in demand the band are, and the specs of the equipment the band provides.

Bands travelling from out of the area will usually charge more than local London bands, due to travel time, fuel costs and accommodation. We have bands in London costing from as little as £327 all the way up to to £25365 for the leading show bands who feature a large line-up of top musicians.

A band providing wedding entertainment on a summer Saturday is also likely to charge more than they would for an informal evening of live music at a local venue on a Thursday night. Fees tend to be based on seasonal demand and the type of live entertainment required.

You can save money by booking a smaller band such as a solo vocalist, singer guitarist, pianist, duo or a 3-piece. Also keep in mind that most bands offer a DJ service / playlist between sets, and this can save you the cost of a separate DJ. The most common size of band booked is a 4-piece band, like The Beatles!

You can narrow down your search by specifying your budget in the filter menu above, or feel free to get in touch and we'll be happy to recommend a local band that meets your needs.

A function band with four members will need an area approximately five meters wide by four meters deep. This should be enough space to accommodate their drum kit, amplifiers, the musicians, plus their PA system and stage lights. The band will also need at least two double plug sockets close to the performance area.

If performing outdoors, the band will need robust cover overhead and to the sides of the performance area. This is to ensure protection from wind and rain. Their electrical equipment mustn't get wet!

It is usual to provide a meal and refreshments for professional musicians, and they will also appreciate a secure dressing room if at all possible.

Function bands cover a wide range of music, including upbeat chart hits and party anthems from the 1950s to the present day. It's usually a very high-energy show, perfect for guests of all ages, and great for dancing. You can view each band's repertoire on their profile page to see what songs they play, but a standard function band set list will include songs from acts like The Killers, Harry Styles, Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran, The Weeknd, Taylor Swift, Adele, Arctic Monkeys, Beyonce, Oasis, Coldplay, Kings of Leon, The Jam, Bryan Adams, Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, The Stones, Elvis, Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry amongst many others.

As well as rock and pop classics, bands are able to perform hits from a range of genres, such as indie rock, brit pop, Mumford style folk, funk, soul and Motown, rnb and rock n roll. Pretty much any type of music that's going to get your guests dancing, and take your event to the next level.

Although London jazz bands for hire are often quite different in style, many function bands can also provide a set of jazz music if required.

Most bands will be happy for you to pick your favourite songs from their repertoire, and many will also learn a special request or first dance.

Unfortunately, unless you've seen a great band at a friends wedding or party, it's not usually possible to see a band performing live before booking. The best London party bands don't tend to play public shows at local venues or pubs, and it wouldn't be possible for us to invite you to other customer's private events.

However, you can read reviews by previous customers on each band's profile page, see photos from events, and watch videos. In fact, many of the videos we produce are recorded 100% live in our own recording studios, specifically so that you can "hear them live" before you make a commitment. Look out for the 'Live In Session With Alive Network' branding on many of our function band videos.

You're not alone in feeling like it's a big commitment to hire a band you've not seen, but that's why were here, and why we're the most trusted entertainment supplier in the UK. We make a huge effort to source the best local bands and musicians, and we continually work to monitor and develop our artists - so you can be 100% sure of an amazing night of entertainment.
