Themed evenings are becoming more and more common these days – and 80s events are especially popular. The 1980s was a classic and defining decade for pop music in the UK and America and many of the era's hits are being revived for themed nights across the UK.
Many of the most popular artists from the 80s still have their songs played frequently, including Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Bon Jovi, Depeche Mode, Wham, The Human League, Culture Club, A-Ha, Pet Shop Boys, Tears for Fears, Joy Division, and Prince.
As well as the classic music, you could even request your guests attend in fancy dress (think day-glo clothing and lycra…). Throwing an 80s themed party accompanied by one of our bands is guaranteed to be a success.
Our 80s tribute bands for hire on FixTheMusic are ready and waiting to dust off the decade's best hits for your party!
Absolutely! All of our 80s themed bands perform wearing the classic outfits from the decade so will look the part. They all have vast experience putting on an authentic 80s tribute show so, as Frankie would say, relax and let the musical experts entertain.
We’ve noticed huge demand for couples choosing an 80s wedding band as their evening entertainment. Many of our bands will be happy for you to pick your favourite 1980s songs for them to play or will add a few extra to their setlist if given enough notice.
They can also usually provide a DJ service between sets and afterwards.
Although most wedding couples tend to choose a band that plays a mix of pop and rock songs from the 1950s and 1960s through to current charts music, in our experience, it can really make a wedding stand out if the couple picks an 80s band – it'll have your guests talking for years afterwards.
Many of our 80s themed bands include both male and female vocals, allowing them to perform a massive range of 80s hits.
As well as bands, FixTheMusic can recommend numerous 80s themed DJs for your event, complete with 80s-inspired costumes and retro-looking gear.
80s party bands generally start at about £700 for a 3-piece group. The average price of hiring a 1980s themed act on FixTheMusic is £950.

Review of Tropicana 80s Band (1980s tribute band based in London) by Kate Harding
"I saw these guys perform at my friend's wedding party a few months ago and couldn't resist booking them for myself! So my husband and I had them play our one year wedding anniversary. They sounded just like the original records! It was such an amazing night with so many flashbacks and great memories of the songs they played! They looked fantastic with all those lights and effects and they were such a nice group of guys! Thanks for everything!"
Review of Miami Nights (80s covers tribute band based in Cardiff, Wales) by Jean Burnell
"I just wanted to write and say how wonderful Max and the guys were on Saturday! They were so friendly, kind and patient, particularly enduring my drunken ramblings! Worth every penny! If you need recommendations on website stuff just tell me where. Thank you again. best wishes, jean"
Review of The Transformers (80s tribute band based in London, UK) by Sam Beeson
"A massive thanks to The Transformers for playing our wedding in December. They were incredible! We've had so many comments from our guests about how good they were and how fun they made the night. They were also more than happy to have a family member (a singer!) join them on stage to sing with them which was a nice surprise. They even threw in a couple of Xmas 80's hits for us! We'll hopefully get a chance to see you play another gig soon."
Review of The 80s Rock Show (80s rock and pop covers band based in London, UK) by Mr and Mrs Attwood
"Incredible! I can't think of any better word to describe The 80s Rock Show. They absolutely stole the show and played with complete passion. Having seen other bands at weddings just go through the motions, you felt that they loved what they were doing, the songs they were playing and how they really wanted to give us the best night possible. From learning a new song just for our first dance, to giving us an amazing custom playlist, they made it such a personal and bespoke set. Heaven by Warrant is a must for anyone's set list! You have to book these guys, no one else will come close!"
