How Much Will It Cost to Hire an Indie-Rock Band?
The prices for local indie-rock trios begin at £1,200, with four-piece bands costing on average £1,600. Musicians always tailor their quote for your event and requirements. The average price for an indie rock wedding band is £1,550.
If you wanted a larger band, the price would increase. Some bands can add a saxophone to the line-up or another vocalist, for example.
We are also frequently asked how long the indie rock bands will perform at your wedding. The answer will vary between individual bands, but most indie rock bands will perform 2 x 60 minute live sets.
Some will perform for a bit less than this (e.g. 2 x 45 minute live sets). In between the live music and afterwards, the majority of indie rock bands will provide a laptop playlist / DJ service until 12 midnight. If you want the indie rock band to perform later than this time, then there may be an additional cost.
Reviews from local events in Buckinghamshire
“The whole evening was amazing but was topped off by The Manhattans who were awesome! I have had so many lovely comments from people about how great they thought the band were from their music selection to the lead singer to the great atmosphere they created. I could not have been happier. I would recommend them and your service to anyone. If you’re looking for your dancefloor to be full you need to book them! They also sang our first dance song which was absolutely amazing and really made it special!”

“Up The Ante were absolutely amazing! Honestly we knew they would be amazing from previous reviews and their videos but we didn’t expect them to be that good! They’re an unbelievably talented group and made the wedding so much fun. Their repertoire was amazing and catered for everyone which showed with the different sets of people on the dancefloor (including a 5 month old baby and a 92 year old grandmother!). We’ve had so many compliments about them on the day and since. I don’t think our wedding day would’ve been the same without them. James was also brilliant to deal with in the build up, answering all of our questions and generally just helping us to relax knowing we were in good hands. I could not recommend booking them for your own event enough. Thank you so much!”

“The band were on point, great live music and really got the crowd on the dance floor for our wedding! Also enjoyed the DJ sets, which included a mix of our favourites provided and requests throughout the evening. Big thanks to Sam & team for a smashing wedding reception.”
“The Manhattans were absolutely excellent! From start to finish they delivered a fantastic performance for our wedding that created an incredible atmosphere. Their set was a great mix of music that had something for everyone, keeping the energy high all night long. They were also extremely professional—both during the booking process and on the night itself—which made everything run smoothly and stress-free. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough if you’re looking for top-quality live entertainment.”

“Just want to say a big thank you from myself & Jo for making our day that much more special. You guys were absolutely amazing; everyone loved you guys. Thanks once again Emi & Jo”
“The Manhattans played at our wedding on 13th August 2025 at Hedsor House and it was absolutely amazing. We cannot recommend them enough; from the most magical live acoustic performance for our first dance, to energetic performances over two hours, The Manhattans were everything (and more!) that we wanted in a band to ensure a very memorable special day! Throughout the whole process, Sam in particular, was very welcoming, friendly and had an incredible warmth that made wedding planning that much easier. The Manhattans have left us wanting to re-live our wedding day over and over again and we cannot thank them enough. Do not hesitate to book them - you will not be disappointed!”
“From our first contact with Sam, he was nothing but highly responsive and very accommodating including helping us when we were debating our first dance song and helping us choose our set list. We had the 5 piece band including the sax for our wedding evening which was exceptional. All the music was absolutely amazing and all our guests commented on how unbelievable the band were - this was evident by the packed dance floor.”
“Absolutely fantastic, highly highly recommend!! Sam and the band nailed it. Great acoustic set for the afternoon reception in the garden and then the full band for the evening. So many of our guests commented on how great the music was. Really professional, responded super quickly. They sorted all the set up on the day no fuss at all and rolled with the delays! I couldn't recommend more highly.”
“What can I say, Simon and the band were incredible and kept us on the dance floor all evening. The music is so good you can't tell when they are singing or whether it's the actual track. Seamlessly professional, warm and fun, and made the evening so incredibly special. Couldn't recommend them more highly!”
“The Tourists were simply amazing! From start to finish, you were an important part of our wedding day - from the ceremony music to acoustic sets, and finally at the evening reception where you kept the dance floor packed. Even some guests who say they never dance got involved because of you! We didn't want it to end, and we've had so many comments from our guests to say how incredible you were. Thank you! Meghan and Shaun.”
“We loved The Hawks! All our guests gave us great feedback on how good the band were, they really got the dance floor going and played a superb setlist which they have honed over many shows, and they really know what works and have great fun on stage. In short, you are in safe hands. The vocal range and overall sound of the band is really close to a lot of the records they are performing (our guests commented on this as well), which given the diverse songs being played is all the more impressive. They are also really organised in the run up to the big day so communication was easy and they accommodated a few curve balls from us and our partying guests on the day effortlessly. Massive thank you for being a big part in making our day so special. We would highly recommend you book them!”
“We had The Tourists for our wedding with a lot of music geeks in our crowd! All I can say is - LOOK NO FURTHER!! The Tourists have some SERIOUS talent. Their performance was like having our own Glasto at our wedding. Absolutely everyone was raving about them all night and they were a great help in the lead up to the wedding, even helping with the run-through of the day! They were absolutely fantastic at engaging with the crowd and were so friendly and professional. I could not recommend them more. Thank you so much to Si and the gang and we definitely hope to book you again! Claire and Jonathan xxxx”
What Kind of Events Do the Indie Rock Bands Perform At?
The indie rock bands on FixTheMusic perform at hundreds of weddings each year, as well as charity and corporate events. The bands are particularly popular at events with a fairly young crowd – often in their late 20s or 30s, who grew up with some of the classic indie-rock tunes that the bands cover.
All professional bands on FixTheMusic have Public Liability Insurance and use PAT-certified electrical equipment – these are requirements of most wedding venues in the UK.
Most of our indie rock wedding bands are also capable of performing at venues with sound or noise limiters, often by using hot rods or brushes rather than conventional drumsticks, or using an electric drum kit.
What Sort of Music Do the Indie-Rock Bands Perform?
Our indie-rock bands will cover songs by bands such as Mumford & Sons, Blink 182, The Strokes, The Killers, Kaiser Chiefs, Kings Of Leon, Franz Ferdinand, Oasis and Arctic Monkeys. Most of the songs feature electric guitar, bass, drums and male or female vocals (or sometimes both).
Most bands take one or two requests to learn before your event – usually for your first dance if you are booking the band for a wedding.
Indie-rock bands tend to be either a 3-piece band or 4-piece band. If you prefer a fuller sound from the band, you'd be better booking a 4-piece indie-rock band; but if your venue has limited space or if you're trying to keep costs down, go for a 3-piece indie-rock trio. The bands perform a mix of indie, rock, pop and folk covers.
What does "indie" mean?
Indie music traditionally referred to music that was produced independently from commercial record labels – it was supposed to be free from the typical constraints that come with producing music for a commercial audience. These days, indie music does include artists represented by big household labels and for most famous indie bands, they aren't strictly "independent" anymore. However, the style of music continues – with an emphasis on slightly heavier, guitar-based sounds.
