Hiring A Band From Liverpool
How much do Liverpool bands for hire cost?
The cost of a live band varies, depending on the line-up, and the options each band offers. In the last 12 months, the average price of a 5-piece band is around £1,600.
The table below shows the range of fees for different types of bands:
| Type of Artist | Cost Range |
|---|---|
| Rock and Pop bands | £670 - £960 (3-piece) £980 - £1,550 (4-piece) £1,050 - £1,380 (5-piece) £1,570 - £2,160 (4-piece) |

| Acoustic and Roaming bands | £330 - £720 (2-piece) £480 - £1,630 (3-piece) £600 - £1,630 (4-piece) |
| Soul Bands | £820 - £4,500 (4-piece) £960 - £2,420 (5-piece) £1,090 - £3,500 (6-piece) £1,210 - £7,500 (larger bands) |

Booking a band who are local to your venue is a great way to reduce cost, as any travel fees will be minimal. The home town of all Alive Network wedding bands are included on their profile pages, and your Entertainment Coordinator can recommend the best bands near to your venue. However, you don’t need to limit your search to just local bands – your perfect band maybe willing to travel at nominal cost!
How much space will they need?
The table below shows approximately how much space live bands of different sizes require:
| Size of Band | Performance Space Required |
|---|---|
| 3-piece band | 3 x 3 metres |
| 4-piece band | 4 x 3 metres |
| 5 and 6-piece band | 5 x 3 metres |
| 7-piece band and bigger | 5/6 x 4 metres |
How long will they take to set up & soundcheck?
Depending how close to the performance space the band can park, unloading, setting up and performing their sound-check will take around 60 – 90 minutes.
Some busy city hotels require bands to load in via a supplier’s entrance, using a shared staff elevator, which can increase set up times.
Following their performance, it takes around 45 – 60 minutes to pack down and load out.
How long is a typical function bands set list?
Our bands usually offer two 60-minute performances, though many can perform for longer if needed. You could spread out a two-hour performance by splitting it into three 40-minute sets. Most bands are flexible to fit in with your evening, and will usually take a break of around 15 minutes between sets, during which time they will provide background music from an MP3 player or laptop.
If providing the evening entertainment, a band would typically arrive at 6pm, get set up and perform that all-important sound check by 7.30pm to 8pm, get changed and ready to start the first performance by around 9pm. The second performance would then start around 10.30pm, until a normal curfew of midnight. Many bands offer longer performances or DJ sets at an additional cost, including finishing times of 1am and 2am. You can find the booking options on each band’s profile page. These times serve as an example – the band will always liaise with you and will tailor what they are doing on the night to your particular needs.

"There are no words for how good they are"
Radar were fantastic, they learnt a specific song for my first dance, played fantastically and entertained guests of all ages. They somehow managed to setup and sound check without any guests noticing and by the end of their final set we were all begging for more! Not only are they fantastic musicians but all round good guys who I’d happily spend my time with! I’d book them over and over again!
WOW! What an amazing night we had at our wedding. The band arrived on time, set up promptly and played 2 amazing sets consisting of a mix of songs. They had everyone on the dance floor all night. The guys were so polite and professional and all communication was clear and made us feel really at ease. All the guests commented on how amazing they were. We cannot thank them enough for making our wedding so fantastic. If you are thinking of booking them do not hesitate! You will not be disappointed!
Booked this band having never seen them before. I only booked the band because of their reviews and testimonies. But all I can is wow they were awesome. Every single guest commented on how good they were and even the noise level was spot on. Anyone thinking about booking this band but not sure due to not being able to watch them beforehand, trust me BOOK them.
"Midnight Train made our night!"
Midnight Train made our night! It was very evident that they were a hit from the first song when our guests (including myself) left their tables before dessert was even served in order to dance the night away. Nobody wanted them to finish which is the sign of a great band! The guys themselves are also lovely! Thanks again. (Event Organiser).
"Faultless from start to finish"
The band performed at our 40th birthday party this weekend and we couldn't have been any happier. The lads were great from the moment they arrived at the venue and had everything ready for the moment the first guest arrived. I was constantly being asked who they were as their performance throughout the night was excellent. We will definitely be booking the band again if we have any other events.
"Absolutely fantastic wedding band - made the night!"
Fabulous sound and range of music. The photographer said she’d never seen so many people up and dancing so early! Everybody loved and commented on the music - including the venue and bar staff. Also really friendly and and easy to deal with. Couldn’t recommend them enough. We’ll be keeping an eye out for future gigs!
