About Our Wedding Rock Bands for Hire
We've curated the UK's best rock bands and made it easy for you to hire them for your next event – whether that's a wedding, birthday party, charity or corporate event.
What kind of songs do the rock wedding bands cover?
Our rock wedding bands will play all your favourite rock and pop covers from the 60s up until present day. They cover classic bands such as The Rolling Stones, The Kinks and The Beatles, through to Guns ‘n Roses, Bon Jovi, Queen, as well as Green Day, Foo Fighters, Oasis, Blink 182, The Killers and Kings of Leon.
Our rock bands pride themselves on their years of experience, keeping dance floors full by playing tune after tune that your guests will love.
What is the line-up / instrumentation of the rock wedding bands?
Most rock songs tend to be guitar-led – so naturally the majority of our rock bands feature electric guitar as one of the main instruments. They also have one or two singers, as well as bass guitar and drums.
Some of our rock wedding bands can also add a saxophone player to the line-up, perfect for filling out the sound and widening the band's repertoire.
Do the rock wedding bands have male or female singers?
The typical rock band features male vocals – this is usually because most classic rock songs are sung by male lead singers. We also work with numerous female-led rock bands, as well as rock bands with male and female vocals.
Where do the rock wedding bands perform in the UK?
Our rock bands perform at weddings throughout the UK. The majority are based in London, but there are also large collections of amazing professional rock bands elsewhere in the UK – including Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Essex, Bristol and Cardiff.
How long do rock bands perform for at weddings?
Most bands provide 2 hours of live music at weddings. This is normally split into 2 or 3 sets (e.g. 2 x 60 minute sets, or 3 x 40 minute sets). Some bands can perform for longer if required, but this is usually for an additional fee.
In between and after the rock band's live sets, most bands provide a "DJ service", so your entire evening of musical entertainment is covered. You can normally prepare your own playlist on Spotify or an iPod to play through the band's PA system at this point.
How much does it cost to book a rock band for a wedding?
The average price for hiring a rock band in the UK is £1,459. There are some superb professional 3-piece rock bands on FixTheMusic whose prices start at around £800 - £900. 4-piece rock bands usually start at around £1,300 - £1,650 and larger groups increase in price accordingly.
A general rule of thumb is that most rock bands charge between £300 - £400 per musician and the total cost of the band will depend on the number of musicians and singers in the band.
Reviews from local events in the UK
“LOVED The Manhattans for our wedding - fantastic band, really got the party started on the dance floor! Loved the choice of songs and they also learnt our first dance family dance. Had so many compliments from our guests saying how brilliant they were. Fully recommend Sam and the team - professional from start to finish - amazing band!”
Booked The Manhattans for a wedding in Priory Bay, Isle of Wight, United Kingdom
“The Tourists were absolutely brilliant for our wedding at Priston Mill. Having a live band was one of the things we were most excited for and they delivered more than we could have hoped for! Si was so helpful and great to chat to about all the logistics, they were so flexible and did everything they could to give us the exact night we wanted (which they did!). They have a huge extended repertoire of songs and even learnt a new song for us! We had people coming up to us all night saying how fantastic the band were. The boys were all top quality musicians, excellent vocals and they created an amazing atmosphere which filled the dance floor. Wouldn’t change anything- 10/10 would recommend!”
“We couldn't have been happier with our experience! The band were incredibly organised from start to finish, punctual, professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Their talent is outstanding, amazing singers and musicians who created a fantastic atmosphere and had everyone enjoying themselves. They really made the event special. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a brilliant live band and will definitely use them again in the future. Thank you for helping make the day so memorable!”
Booked The Tourists for a corporate event at Old Reigatian Rugby Football Club, Reigate, UK
“Absolutely fabulous. Look no further than this band. So friendly, fun and got the whole place dancing!!”
“We booked Turn Of The Century for our wedding and the booking process was easy via FixTheMusic. Communication with the band a few weeks before our wedding was excellent and on the day they created a great atmosphere and got everyone on the dancefloor. They were fab and I'm so happy with the music they provided!”
Booked Turn Of The Century for a wedding at Lodge Farmhouse, Kings Walden, Hitchin
“Off The Rails were absolutely brilliant! All our guests loved the great set list and many asked for their details. Off The Rails had the guests literally jumping. Very professional.”
“We booked the Tourists for our wedding yesterday and we were all blown away by how great they were. All our guests kept saying how amazing the band were and the photographers also said 'your band are incredible' before they left. I'm massively into live music so was a bit nervous about blind booking a band without seeing them live but I went with the videos and the reviews and so so glad we did. Honestly, if you're in two minds whether to book them, just do it, you won't regret it. Si is also so responsive and really listens to what you're after to make it special and unique. Great bunch of lads. Couldn't be more grateful. Thanks, James and Sarah”
Booked The Tourists for a wedding at Knowle Country House Wedding Venue, Rochester, UK
“We could not have been happier with the service from Kester and the band. From the very beginning, Kester was fantastic - friendly, professional and always on hand to make sure every detail was taken care of, which made the planning process completely stress free. On the day, Ian and the band were brilliant. They arrived on time, were polite and professional and checked in with us throughout the evening to make sure the music was just right. They created an amazing atmosphere in our garden, played a fantastic mix of music that had everyone enjoying themselves, and even kept the mood going with background disco music between sets. Thank you all for helping make our wedding so memorable. We highly recommend you to anyone looking for a talented, reliable and genuinely lovely band.”
“Absolutely incredible band! Listened to our crazy suggestions and smashed both their sets, even in 32 degree heat!!!! You can tell they love what they do. Thanks lads!”
“These guys were fantastic! Sounded amazing and brought a lot of energy and fun to the dancefloor. Couldn't have asked for a better band.”

“We can’t recommend The Tourists enough! Lost count of how many guests commented on how brilliant the band was! Every song in their set was banger after banger, and everyone had such a fab time! Si was also so great in the booking and planning stages!”
Booked The Tourists for a wedding at St Michael's Manor Hotel, St Albans, UK
“We just wanted to say the biggest thank you from the absolute bottom of our heart. You made our day so so special! It is not lost on us how many times we had to change it but you made it so perfect and so easy, it never became frustrating or a sad moment. You guys were incredible!! It was actually amazing! The set list was perfect and everyone loved it. I’ve lost count of how many people have text us saying that you are the best band they’ve ever heard and we can’t disagree! You made the wedding so special and unforgettable! Could not recommend you enough. Thank you so so much!”
