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 Wales
“The Hawks were amazing, fantastic playlist, great audience particiption. The guests praised the band on their great sound, and exceptional vocals. Overall their charisma, and banter with the guests made the party a great success. Thank you, we had an unforgetable night. Peter & Jacqui XXXXX”
“A big thank you to The Atoms for playing at our wedding in Llanerch Vineyard last month! You were superb and put on a fantastic show, everyone commented on how great you were! We hope to see you again one day, Katie and Rob Rees X”
“We had the pleasure of Radio Flare performing at our wedding. We had an acoustic set in the day and the full band in the evening, I can not recommend these guys highly enough, they made our wedding! They were beyond fantastic!!! every guest commented on how good they were. Alun was so helpful with the booking and leading up to our wedding. They were so professional and it was a pleasure to share our day with them. If you are looking for a band these are the guys you want”
“Dear Kester, Just wanted to say a huuuuuge thank you for Saturday night! You were amazing everyone has said how good your music was you really smashed it. Sorry I was very drunk at the end, had a fabulous time though, hope you enjoyed it too! Kate and Niall.”
“We had these guys play at our wedding at the Celtic Manor and we have to say not only are they musically bang on point but what absolute gents they are. I imagine it was a smaller gig compared to some they've done in the past but they still give absolutely everything, leaving a very happy crowd, bride & groom. Awesome job guys! Thank you. Liam & Beth.”
“Just wanted to thank the Majesty boys so much for playing at our wedding on Saturday. They are such lovely, professional people, not to mention AMAZING musicians. We literally could not have asked for any more. The dance floor was full and no one wanted them to stop, except the vicar next door!!! They also have a few more female admirers to add to the already enormous pile I should imagine. I would have no hesitation in booking them again or recommending them to absolutely everyone. Thanks again, wishing them loads of luck in their future endeavours. Em & Rob x”
“They were easy to communicate with, arrived in good time on the day & put on a fantastic performance. Their set list was varied and in between their sets they were able to play songs off their sound system to keep guests entertained. We were blown away by their engagement with our wedding party & the dance floor was full all night! We can't thank them enough for being part of our special day, we would highly recommend if you're looking for a top class wedding band :) x”
“The Score were AMAZING at our wedding! The energy from the band was great and it created such an atmosphere. The music itself was outstanding and the guitar riffs were next level. We loved having them. They were also the loveliest people. We would highly recommend them!!”
“The Tourists played an awesome set for our wedding and made sure the dance floor stayed full all night. We've had loads of friends and family saying how good they were. They were really flexible with timings when our day ran a bit later than expected and were happy to play all of our favourite songs. Would really recommend!”
“We would recommend this band to anyone wanting a professional band that plays a versatile song list that will please any crowd. The guys created an electric energy for our evening reception which led to our guests wanting more. We searched through over 50 bands and most definitely chose the right band. Thank you Rory and the rest of the band!”
“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!”
“Thanks again for putting on a great performance at our wedding, everyone loved it and my wife didn’t ever want to leave the dance floor! We really appreciate you making our day so special for everyone.”
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.
