5/5 from 274 reviews
Photo of Tcha Simmons & Band Tcha Simmons & Band "Perfect musical framing Cool guys, very nice bluesy groovy music with fantastic voice. Pleasant negotiation, spontaneous and uncomplicated." Translated from German Based in Unterägeri, Canton of Zug, Switzerland (163 miles from Mannheim) 6th November 2025 Lombard Andrea - Party Concert Photo of Jenny & Cenik Jenny & Cenik "Jenny & Cenik were absolutely amazing at our wedding! They were responsible for the music during the guest reception and the start of the cocktail hour, and they truly set the perfect tone for the day. Their repertoire was wonderfully varied, and they seamlessly adapted to the style of music we love most. Beyond their undeniable talent, they were incredibly kind, approachable, and professional throughout the entire process. They exceeded all our expectations and added a magical touch to our celebration. Without a doubt, they were the perfect choice, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for unforgettable live music!" Based in Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands (253 miles from Mannheim) Bruna - Wedding Photo of Petra Herič Petra Herič "A wonderful night❤️ - 5 stars! Petra, played the violin for us during the 90 minute straight opening of our masked ball. She played amazing and she adjusted the music to the people. A track list with all the classics but also new popsongs! She has a great presence in the room and dresses up to the theme bringer her own mask and glitter dress to the ball. She drove for 3 hours straight towards our venue and was there perfectly on time. Petra, thank you!" Based in Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands (253 miles from Mannheim) Joep van Der Meer - Masketball Photo of Telegraph Telegraph "Thank you Telegraph that was amazing, exactly what I had in mind!" Based in Paris, Île-de-France Region, France (280 miles from Mannheim) Clemens Photo of Adar Alfandari Adar Alfandari "Adar played in my wedding ceremony, and I couldn't ask for a better job. We asked a specific song for our ceremony, 'I wanna be yours' by Arctic Monkeys, and Adar made a special version of it and even produced a stunning backing audio to go with his live performance in our event. It was very special and artistic and we got so many compliments." Based in Berlin (300 miles from Mannheim) Bar & Ofri - Wedding Photo of Biker Band Biker Band "The Kings’ regulars are probably the luckiest people in Lincolnshire, maybe even the East Midlands! Not only do they have fabulous hosts in Richard and Sharon, they also provide the best music free of charge every weekend and they don’t come much better than the Bikers Band wherever you may go. Quiet and staid does not exist in their vocabulary, Mister-Pink is power funk, rock and blues at its very best covering the likes of Cream, Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones but also mixing in their own songs in a seamless blend of quality entertainment. I asked Simon for his set list after the gig and do you know what the response was? “What set list? We just play what the audience like!” Believe me there are not many bands that can make such a confident statement. How many encores did we have? I lost count, the holiday weekend busy bar wanted more so The Bikers Band duly provided. Of course we must not forget the superb bass playing of Jules and Balding Bloke was in his element sound engineering when the drummer let rip with a storming drum solo. I don’t know what they feed them on in Norfolk however it seems to be an excellent diet for drummers! Now here’s a teaser for you…whilst we were clearing up afterwards I happened to mention that he’d forgotten to use his harmonica. That was it, straight to his kit and “Not Fade Away” commenced, The bassist struck up his acoustic guitar and the remaining customers and bar staff all immediately broke into song…Most likely we won’t see these guys again until next year, that’s going to be an awful long wait for many of us! ~ gig reviewer - Lincolnshire Press" Based in Norwich, England, United Kingdom (379 miles from Mannheim) John Blading - Music Venue

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for indie bands ranges from €120 to €2,000+, with an average of €550. Rates depend on the number of band members, performance length and the equipment supplied. Indie bands range from stripped-back acoustic outfits to full electric line-ups, so the size and style of the act is the primary factor in cost.

Wedding bookings are common, and many acts build a set that stays quieter during the meal before moving to a full electric performance later in the evening. Most will learn a first dance song given a few weeks' notice. Couples who want the same sound during the ceremony usually book a stripped-back acoustic line-up of the same act.

Most are self-contained for pub, bar and small function work, bringing a PA suited to the room and basic stage lighting. Larger venues, festival stages and outdoor bookings usually need production supplied separately. Giving the act the room size and whether a house system is available lets them judge what to bring.

Four or five players is the most common shape, usually vocals, guitar, bass and drums, with keys added where the material calls for it. Three-piece acts work well in smaller rooms and cost less to book. Larger line-ups adding brass or extra vocals are available where the stage and the budget allow.

Hiring indie bands is a popular choice for weddings, birthday parties, bar and pub events, corporate parties and festivals. Indie music appeals to audiences who want something more distinctive than mainstream pop and rock cover bands.

Many indie bands play a mix of well-known indie covers and their own original material. Some bands focus entirely on covers of popular indie songs, while others are original artists who also take cover requests. It is a good idea to check each band's profile for their repertoire.

The indie bands in Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany perform indie rock, indie pop, alternative and guitar-driven music covering both classic indie anthems and modern indie hits. Many bands have a distinctive sound that brings an authentic live music atmosphere to events.
