8 Best Bands for Corporate Events (2025)
In this blog post, we'll list the 8 most popular corporate event bands for hire in the UK on FixTheMusic, based on the number of their confirmed bookings for 2025 and 2026 as well as verified reviews.
Planning to hire a live band for a corporate event? When you're putting together a corporate event - be it a black-tie awards dinner, a product launch, a team away day or an informal networking brunch - the soundtrack is what breathes life into the brand experience.
A versatile live band doesn’t just "fill the silence". It underlines every agenda item with the right emotion: subtle jazz while guests arrive and register, slick walk-on "stings" that add cinematic punch as award winners take the stage, and a high-octane show-set that packs the dance floor once the formalities are over.
FixTheMusic works with UK-based function bands who specialise in exactly these corporate touches, from bespoke intro beds for keynote speakers to background music during dinner service.
Because every corporate brief is different, our roster covers it all: compact acoustic duos for intimate C-suite receptions, roaming bands that mingle between exhibition stands, and 15-piece showbands with brass and choreography for gala finales.
Each corporate event band comes fully self-contained with PAT tested equipment and public liability insurance, so your H&S box-ticking is done before the first note is played.
These bands are regulars on the corporate circuit for industry-leading organisations. FixTheMusic bands have been trusted by global heavyweights such as Google, Amazon, Formula One, Dior, Deloitte and UNESCO for high-profile events at venues that range from The Savoy and The Ritz to international trade-show arenas. When the world’s leading companies want live music, they come to us.
So, whether you need a sophisticated quartet to underscore cocktails, a stunning showband to close your conference or razor-sharp stings that make every award recipient feel like a rockstar, FixTheMusic can match you with the perfect band, seamlessly, securely and within minutes.
