Why Book an 80s Themed Band?
Themed evenings are becoming more and more common these days – and 80s events are especially popular. The 1980s was a classic and defining decade for pop music in the UK and America and many of the era's hits are being revived for themed nights across the UK.
Many of the most popular artists from the 80s still have their songs played frequently, including Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Bon Jovi, Depeche Mode, Wham, The Human League, Culture Club, A-Ha, Pet Shop Boys, Tears for Fears, Joy Division, and Prince.
As well as the classic music, you could even request your guests attend in fancy dress (think day-glo clothing and lycra…). Throwing an 80s themed party accompanied by one of our bands is guaranteed to be a success.
Our 80s tribute bands for hire on FixTheMusic are ready and waiting to dust off the decade's best hits for your party!
Reviews from local events in Wales
“These guys were absolutely amazing!! The comments we received from all guests was ‘wow, these guys are AMAZING!!’ They rocked the night, had an array of genres and were quite simply fantastic, cannot recommend enough! A perfect wedding and a perfect band!! Thanks guys! Darren and Emily!”
“We can not believe how awesome these guys were at our wedding. They truly made the party rock. I have so many amazing memories from the evening that I will never forget and the band are a huge part of that. Thank you..we could not have hoped for anything more.”
“Cannot recommend these guys enough! Came all the way down to Wales and smashed the set! The boys were incredibly accommodating and so professional and certainly kept everyone on their feet all night long!”
“They were absolutely outstanding. One person commented that they genuinely thought the music was being played on a CD because they were that good. Fantastic, thanks so much for your help throughout.”
“The Transformers are a supreme act!! Thank you to all of you for what was a spectacular evening. Smoke alarms and decibel meters aside! You guys did us proud!”
“I can’t believe it has been a week since the wedding but when I think if the day, one of the happiest memories is seeing everyone on the dance floor – it was one of the things I was nervous about before the day, that no one would be up dancing when the band were on but I shouldn’t have worried at all! The band were fantastic and got everyone on their feet – I didn’t sit down all night! So please can you pass on my thanks they were awesome!! And you have been brilliant too so quick at responding to all my emails – thank you!”
“It’s been a whirlwind few weeks since our wedding. Finally got our feet back on the ground, so wanted to send a message over to say a massive thank you to the band. They were absolutely incredible, we’ve not stopped hearing since about how much our guests enjoyed their music. Everyone had a great time and the dancing didn’t stop. Thanks for a brilliant night! Kat & Alex.”
“They were incredible! When we get the photographs back I will send you some over – they looked fantastic performing on the trailer! Thank you ever so much, I’m sure those boys are going to go far, I can’t recommend them enough! Amazing!”
“They were incredible at our wedding on Saturday - could not recommend enough and had so many guests ask who they were to book for their parties, weddings etc. They were so friendly and couldn't do enough for us, the dance floor was permanently packed!!”
“Miami Nights played at our wedding on 27 August 2020 and they were absolutely fantastic!! So many of our guests came up to us after just a couple of songs asking about them and saying how good they were. They were great at getting everyone up and dancing and their sets were excellent!! Talented, professional, and friendly. We cannot thank Miami Nights enough for playing at our wedding and making the day even more special. We'd definitely book them again for a future event and highly recommend them!! Thank you, Miami Nights!! Sophia and Robert”
“The band were AMAZING!!! They really rocked the night and were just incredible, they made the evening what it was and we could not have asked for more! They surpassed expectations, and almost every guest has commented on how great the evening was and the band made it. Also, the lead singer, a few of the girls were quite smitten and so decided to get as close as they could by getting on the stage, again the guys were really professional and carried on rocking it, even though they may have felt like they were being mobbed! Anyway, just thought it was worth letting you know that they are without doubt the best band I’ve seen play at an event and we really couldn’t have asked for more from them! We would undoubtedly book them again and recommend them to anyone.”
“The band were absolutely BRILLIANT, I had so much great feedback about them….Max was an absolute hit with the ladies.”
Will They Wear 80s Themed Clothing?
Absolutely! All of our 80s themed bands perform wearing the classic outfits from the decade so will look the part. They all have vast experience putting on an authentic 80s tribute show so, as Frankie would say, relax and let the musical experts entertain.
Should I Hire an 80s Band for My Wedding?
We’ve noticed huge demand for couples choosing an 80s wedding band as their evening entertainment. Many of our bands will be happy for you to pick your favourite 1980s songs for them to play or will add a few extra to their setlist if given enough notice.
They can also usually provide a DJ service between sets and afterwards.
Although most wedding couples tend to choose a band that plays a mix of pop and rock songs from the 1950s and 1960s through to current charts music, in our experience, it can really make a wedding stand out if the couple picks an 80s band – it'll have your guests talking for years afterwards.
Many of our 80s themed bands include both male and female vocals, allowing them to perform a massive range of 80s hits.
As well as bands, FixTheMusic can recommend numerous 80s themed DJs for your event, complete with 80s-inspired costumes and retro-looking gear.
