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 Gloucestershire
“The Tourists are exceptional! We have had nothing but compliments from all our guests about how great our wedding band was. Si is so friendly and was accommodating to all our setlist ideas and requests! I cannot recommend these guys enough. Thanks again The Tourists, we had the best day of our lives.”
“We booked The Score for our wedding at Elmore Court. From the beginning, we had excellent communication from the band regarding timings, playlist etc. On the day everything was seamless and we had rave reviews from our guests! They really know how to read the room and kept the dance floor full. Thanks guys :)”
“Absolutely brilliant. Our guests said they were great vocalists as well as getting the whole dance floor going. Danced all night. Easy to work with as well.”
“We just wanted to say we knew The Atoms were going to be epic as we've been following them for a while but on Saturday at our wedding they totally rocked. Everyone said they felt like they were at a concert and would happily pay to see the guys play live. Amazing music, amazing songs, huge stage presence, they are the best band ever, fact!! Thank you for making our wedding.”
“Genuinely struggling to find the words to thank The Tourists for their performance at our wedding. They are just so good as musicians and performers. Almost all of our guests commented on how great they were, and the dance floor was full all night. Beyond that, they are lovely guys and super professional. They were flexible when our day started running late, they learnt our (pretty left-field) first dance, and even took a few minutes to give my little niece a drum lesson. I honestly can't recommend them more highly and thank them more for providing the soundtrack to an amazing day.”
“Now things have calmed down a bit after a whirlwind week and a bit, I just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU for playing at our wedding and helping to make it such an amazing event. We had so many people telling us how awesome you were and we totally concur! Such a great repertoire, really well thought out starting off with the oldies but goodies to ending our night in the most spectacular way (mini mosh pit to Rage Against the Machine), which was right up our street. Thank you so much.”
Booked The Tourists for a wedding at Milton End Farm, Arlingham, Gloucestershire
“Hi Sam! Well what can I say! That was amazing! Luke and I and all the guests had the best night! Everyone was saying how wonderful the band was! You guys absolutely smashed it! Truly made our night! Hope you got a great video of your original song! Also excellent! The sax and the guitar on the lawn was really wonderful! A great idea and so well executed! Sorry we didn’t really get to say hello! It was all such a blur of people! Thank you so much it was a true blend of Luke and I’s music choices! Everyone dancing until the absolute end! Perfect!”
Booked The Manhattans for a wedding at The Royal Agricultural University, Cirencester
“Si and the band were absolutely phenomenal and provided us with a wedding evening that both us and our guests will remember forever!! The dance floor was packed for every song they played and no one wanted them to leave at the end of the night. All three band members that we booked are incredible musicians and so many of our guests commented on how amazing they were and that the band were the absolute highlight of the day for them. Thanks guys for helping to make our evening so special, we never doubted you wouldn’t, and thanks Si for such great communication right from the moment we booked with you. It’s been an absolute pleasure! Shame we can’t do it all over again, though will definitely be recommending the Tourists to anyone and everyone that we can.”
“The Tourists were amazing as always! All our guests commented on how great the band were and the vocalists in particular were incredible!! You absolutely helped us to celebrate our big day and make it into a huge party! Will be back to enquire about our work Christmas party soon!”
“The Uprising were the perfect band for our Halloween-themed wedding - a perfect mix of classics to get everyone on the floor, and some heavy stuff thrown in at our request or insistence! Extremely friendly and professional to deal with throughout, would highly recommend... 10/10 :)”
“The Manhattans give you all the confidence you need that your guests will be on the dance floor from song one until the end of the event! Their song repertoire covers all tastes from pop to dance and you will find yourself singing along to all your favourites. Their covers are as authentic as you could wish for and at times you’ll think you’re listening to the original! Finally, The Manhattans are beautiful people who just want your guests to have the most memorable night ever. Totally and utterly recommend this band.”
“Wow - what a band. They truly added something magical to our wedding. The dance floor never emptied. They adapted on the fly on the night and even learnt a song / played something new when they found out how much my husband liked Blink-182. Could not recommend the band enough and if our word is not enough our friends and family have not stopped commenting since about them. Don't hesitate, if you want to take the stress out of music on the night - book these guys!”
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.
