Sheffield bands for hire

Our party bands in Sheffield tend to play a broad range of musical styles to keep guests of all ages entertained – from rock and pop to Motown, R&B and hip hop.

Yes, our bands provide everything they need to get your party started including microphones, amplifiers, and instruments.

If you’re hosting an outdoor event or inviting over 250 guests, let us know. Larger scale events will require larger sound systems and we’ll need to check with the band if they can provide this.

Lighting for both the stage and dancefloor is usually provided but check out each individual band’s profile to find out exactly what they offer.

A typical package for a Sheffield party band will include: 2 x 60 minute sets, arrival and set up from 5pm or 6pm (depending on the band), recorded music in their breaks and PLI and PAT certificates on request.

Typically they’ll play for 2 x 60 minute sets (this can also be split into 3 x 40 minute sets). They’ll aim to arrive in the early evening to set up and do a sound-check, and finish by midnight at the latest (bands booked for New Year will finish at 1am).

We certainly can! We can provide a range of Sheffield musicians, such as string quartets, pianists and harpists – the perfect backdrop for a dinner, reception or corporate event.

Sheffield is bursting with creativity, energy and artistry, and our bands have played some of the best-known venues in Sheffield and the surrounding areas. Whether you’re looking to bring retro bangers or contemporary chart-toppers to your venue, our bands can help.

Noise limiters are intended to shut down the power supply to the band whenever the music or the audience's applause exceeds a specific volume. This is far from ideal for both band and audience, especially as sound levels are difficult to control.

Your venue may be able to deactivate the limiter, but if not, let us know so we can investigate whether or not it might be an issue for the band. We may have to recommend an acoustic performance or a band that uses electronic drums.

From the Arctic Monkeys to Pulp and The Human League, Sheffield has brought the world some of the most iconic rock and pop bands, so it’s no wonder the city is stuffed full of talent.
