Festival Band Hire FAQs

Got questions about hiring a festival-style party band? Our expert answers below will guide you through everything you need to know about booking an epic headliner experience!

Where can I hire Festival-Style Bands in the UK?

Hire premium festival-style bands through Tailored Entertainment, a trusted UK live music agency. We represent the country’s top acts, with booking details available on our website. Every booking is secured by a formal contract, typically requiring a 20% deposit to confirm, with the balance due 28 days before your event. Our bands perform nationwide, contact us for recommendations of the best bands local to your venue.

How much does it cost to hire a Festival-Style Band?

Prices for professional Festival-Style Bands start at around £1,500. This reflects the investment in securing highly experienced musicians who can deliver a large-scale performance, often including extra production or instrumentation. Costs vary based on band size, event type, and performance requirements.

Is the setlist restricted to Indie and Rock music?

Absolutely not. Our bands are specifically designed to cover a massive range of genres, just like a festival headliner would. Expect a dynamic mix of Indie, Rock, Pop-Punk, 90s Dance anthems and modern Pop hits, ensuring every guest hears some of their favourite songs. The versatility of these bands is one of their greatest strengths!

How far in advance should I book a Festival Band?

We recommend booking your band 12 to 18 months in advance, especially for peak dates like summer weekends. Due to the high production value and demand for this style, securing your act sooner ensures the best selection of headliner-quality performers.

Are these bands too big or loud for a standard venue?

While our bands deliver a powerful "festival sound," they use professional, scalable sound equipment. They are experienced at performing in everything from large marquees to intimate indoor venues and can adjust their volume to suit any sound limiter or size restriction without sacrificing quality.

How long do Festival-Style Bands perform?

Most bands perform 2 x 60-minute or 3 x 40-minute live sets as standard, delivering a non-stop barrage of high-energy anthems. All Tailored Entertainment bands include a bespoke DJ service before and after their sets, ensuring seamless entertainment throughout your event.

Can Festival-Style Bands perform a drinks reception set?

Yes, many bands offer this option. They can provide a chilled, live lounge-style set during your drinks reception or dinner, creating a relaxed acoustic vibe before transforming into their high-energy headliner status later in the evening.

What kind of equipment do they provide?

Our Festival-Style Bands are fully self-contained. They bring premium sound systems and stage lighting to create that authentic headliner look and feel. A bespoke DJ service is included as standard.
