Reviews of Indie Bands available in Kent, England, United Kingdom

5/5 from 433 reviews
Photo of Tizane Tizane "I loved watching Tizane, they definitely picked up a new fan. They had the entire audience in the palm of their hand. The diverse original songs they played ranged from emotional and heartfelt, having the audience almost in tears, to upbeat and fun, leaving the room dancing, especially during their song 'Why Not Me'. I loved their song 'Running', it begun completely fragile and beautiful, but each chorus revealed that angsty, pop punk sound." Based in Dartford, England Ellie Miller - Camden Assembly Photo of Bto Bto "Highly. Recommend "By The Order brought the house down at the Private event! Full of energy, engaging, and technically impressive - they had the crowd hooked from start to finish. Highly recommend! 10/10 stars ⭐️ We have hired them serval times we have booked them again, Special thanks to Annie and the lads they really pull out all the stops to make it magic ." Based in London, England 10th February 2026 Ryan - Private event Photo of Twist of Rock Live band Twist of Rock Live band "Book them! No, really BOOK THEM. What a Wedding Day we had topped off with a Twist of Rock. Communication was great with Dave. They learnt a song for us. They Rocked up on time and then rocked out. Two great sets of music, selected from their extensive play list. All our guests were in awe of how amazing Twist of Rock were, they filled the dance floor. Listen to their live videos if you need further proof. Have you BOOKED THEM YET!" Based in London, England Dave E - Wedding Reception Photo of We Killed The Disco We Killed The Disco "What can i say, these guys smashed it! Every song was a banger and the dancefloor was filled all night! Great lads too!" Based in London, England Joe Turner - Wedding Photo of Sarvesh and Raph - Acoustic Duo Sarvesh and Raph - Acoustic Duo "We booked this party to play at our drinks reception. They were fabulous and could not recommend them enough. They got all the guests dancing and celebrating the occasion. Their musical talent is incredible. Their whole performance looked so professional and effortless. Way to go Sarvesh and Raph!" Based in London, England Sheryl Edward - Wedding party Photo of Lee Michael Stevens Lee Michael Stevens "The North London-based artist Lee Michael Stevens steps away from The Swagger to take audiences on a personal journey. His first solo single “I Miss U Now”, co-wrote with brother Paul Stevens, is a taste of a long-player due in 2022, and it is a tantalising prospect. Here Lee is soaking up the atmosphere under the grey London sky. Both Britpop and balladesque, there is a lot to unpack from “I Miss U Now”. It is acoustic but energetic, with a thread of humanity, love and loss pulsing throughout. Both the production by Steve ‘Smiley’ Barnard, and the string arrangements by David Tims add beauty to the otherwise streetwise themes. In some ways it is obviously reminiscent of The Swagger, though there is a lot more of the personality of Lee Michael Stevens on display, teetering between sneering confidence and hopeless heartbreak. All-in-all a cracking first step in what promises to be a worthwhile journey."

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for indie bands ranges from £100 to £1,650+, with an average of £600. 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.

The indie bands in Kent, England, United Kingdom 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
