Your Guide To Live Band Hire Brighton

Booking a Brighton Function Band For Your Event

Brighton function bands come fully prepared with all the necessary equipment, including PA systems and, in most cases, stage lighting, ensuring a top-notch live performance at your function.

Typically, bands in Brighton deliver two sets lasting 60 minutes each, often supplemented by a carefully curated playlist of party or background music played through their PA system during intervals.

The standard cost for hiring bands in Brighton is determined based on a start time of 6 pm, with performances concluding around midnight. However, you have the flexibility to tailor the schedule to meet your specific needs. Some bands are even willing to accommodate special requests, such as learning and performing a unique song for the first dance at weddings.

Moreover, many Brighton bands offer additional options to enhance your event experience. These may include expanding the band with extra members for a fuller sound, DJ packages, live jazz or acoustic sets during a drinks reception, upgrades to PA systems and lighting setups, photo booths, and illuminated letter displays. With these added features, our Brighton-based bands can provide comprehensive party entertainment for a full day and evening of exceptional partying.

Additionally, all our bands in Brighton provide certificates for PAT testing and Public Liability Insurance as part of their service.

Every booking through Alive Network includes personalised support from your designated entertainment coordinator, a secure contract for peace of mind, and 24/7 emergency assistance in case of unexpected incidents such as accidents or illnesses.

As of 2025, the average cost of booking bands in Brighton was approximately £1,840, although this figure varies depending on factors such as band size, performance duration, travel distance to the venue, and level of expertise.

Bands travelling from outside the area may incur higher expenses due to factors like travel time, fuel costs, and accommodation. Within our selection of Brighton-based bands, prices range from £327 to £25,365 for premium show bands.

For a summer Saturday wedding, expect higher fees compared to off-peak events or performances at local venues on weekday evenings. Prices are influenced by seasonal demand and the specific type of live entertainment requested.

To save on costs, consider hiring a smaller ensemble such as a solo vocalist, singer-guitarist, pianist, duo, or trio. Many bands also offer DJ services or curated playlists during breaks, eliminating the need for a separate DJ. Quartets, evoking the spirit of The Beatles, are often a popular choice!

For accommodating a four-piece function band in Brighton, it's necessary to have a stage area measuring approximately five meters wide and four meters deep, ensuring ample space for their equipment and performance. This area should comfortably accommodate the band's drum kit, amplifiers, musicians, as well as their PA system and stage lighting. Additionally, having at least two double plug sockets nearby is essential for efficient power supply to their equipment.

For outdoor performances, it's crucial to provide robust overhead and side protection for the performance area to shield the equipment from strong winds and rainfall, ensuring its safety and preventing any damage caused by moisture.

It's customary to provide refreshments for the band, and if feasible, they would appreciate access to a secure and private area for their preparations.

Brighton function bands showcase a diverse range of musical styles, spanning from classic hits to contemporary chart-toppers, ensuring a vibrant mix that appeals to all audiences. Known for their lively performances, these bands create an electric atmosphere, perfect for getting guests of all ages on the dance floor.

You can explore the repertoire of each band on their profile page to see the range of artists they perform. However, expect to hear songs from popular artists such as The Killers, Harry Styles, Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran, The Weeknd, Taylor Swift, Adele, Arctic Monkeys, Beyoncé, Oasis, Coldplay, Kings of Leon, The Jam, Bryan Adams, Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, and Chuck Berry, among others.

In addition to mainstream rock and pop, Brighton bands are versatile and can cover various genres including indie rock, British pop, folk inspired by Mumford & Sons, funk, soul & Motown, R&B, and classic rock 'n' roll. They can adapt their style to suit your preferences and ensure your event is unforgettable!

While jazz bands have their unique sound, many function bands in Brighton can incorporate jazz into their repertoire upon request.

All of our Brighton bands are happy to accommodate your preferences, allowing you to select your favourite songs from their repertoire. Additionally, many are willing to learn special requests or perform a unique first dance song tailored specifically to your event.

Unfortunately, it's unlikely that you'll have the chance to experience a band's live performance unless you've attended one of their previous gigs at a wedding or event. Typically, top-tier party bands in Brighton rarely perform publicly in local venues or pubs, and it wouldn't be practical for us to invite you to private functions hosted by other clients. However, you can explore testimonials from past clients on each band's profile page, browse event photos, and watch videos. We're dedicated to sourcing the best local bands in Brighton, ensuring an exceptional evening of entertainment that you can rely on completely.
