Photo of The Strip Lights The Strip Lights "Have seen The Strip Lights a couple of times before and hired them for a recent party. Brilliant musicians and everyone loved their music. Almost all 70+invites made it on to the dance floor including a couple in their early 80's. Fabulous night and they were excellent at communicating before the event too. Thanks guys! Lynda" Based in Cardiff, Wales 13th July 2026 Lynda Townley - Outdoor Birthday Party Photo of The Session Band The Session Band "We hired The Session Band for our wedding in Devon. They were brilliant throughout the whole process from enquiry, to booking, to performing. Before the booking, they also gave us other options to add on if we wanted. Once we booked, they sent over their website with their library of songs. We picked a few we liked and they then built their set from that. They also agreed to play our first dance song that we requested. The band were great when they arrived and were accommodating with us as we were slightly behind schedule. Our guests absolutely loved the band and we had so many positive comments from them. In between the band sets we also went for the DJ and Saxophone option, which were great at getting people dancing towards the end of the night. Overall a brilliant experience and I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding band." Based in Cardiff, Wales 3rd November 2025 Aiden Shearer - Wedding Photo of MONICO MONICO "These guys absolutely killed it!! Every one was up on the dance floor! Cannot recommend them enough" Based in Cardiff, Wales Adam K Photo of The Trends Party Band The Trends Party Band "The Trends played at our wedding in May. We wanted a band and found The Trends through recommendations on Facebook. For our first dance they performed an acoustic version of N Trance ‘only love can set you free’ this went down a storm and we were blown away with how incredible this sounded. The dance floor was packed all night, all our guests commented how amazing the band were. I would highly recommend The Trends. We are looking forward to seeing you very soon. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts ❤️❤️" Based in Cardiff, Wales Zoe & Alan Morgan - Wedding Photo of The Grade The Grade "Just want to say the biggest thank you in the world to Rock Nation!!! They played at my wedding in November and they were incredible!! Everyone has been constantly messaging me about how good they were and I can't thank them enough. They put on an amazing show, so professional and on top of that they are just really nice guys!! So lucky to have been recommended them as they made our night magical! The biggest thank you once again!! *****" Based in Cardiff, Wales Simon Rathbone - Wedding Nov 2019 Photo of The Deltas The Deltas "The best birthday surprise possible!

Frequently asked questions

The average price for pop bands on Gig Heaven is £750, with rates from £150 to £2,550+. Cost varies based on the number of band members, set duration and the production level of the performance. Pop bands range from compact line-ups to larger acts with backing vocalists, and bigger ensembles typically command higher fees.

Most acts will learn a first dance song given a few weeks' notice, and some include one learned request in the fee. Where a track is hard to reproduce live, the band can play the original recording for the dance and take over for the rest of the evening. Sending the song choice early gives them time to rehearse it properly.

Line-ups commonly run from four to eight players, with the larger ones adding brass, percussion or extra vocals. A smaller act suits a tighter room or a lower budget and still covers the same material. Supplier profiles list the line-up options each act offers.

The pop bands in Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom play popular music spanning several decades of chart hits, from classic pop through to current releases. Many pop bands cover a wide range of artists and styles, creating setlists designed to appeal to the broadest possible audience.

Many pop bands are flexible and can adjust their setlist to include specific songs or focus on particular decades or styles. Some bands also take guest requests during the performance. Gig Heaven recommends discussing your music preferences with the band when making an enquiry.

Most pop bands are self-contained and bring their own PA system, instruments and basic lighting. For larger venues or outdoor stages, additional sound and staging may be required. It is advisable to confirm all technical details before booking.

Hiring pop bands is one of the most versatile entertainment choices for weddings, corporate events, birthday parties, proms, festivals and private celebrations. Pop music is universally recognised and appeals to guests of all ages and musical tastes.

Sound limiters are common in hotels and smaller function rooms, and experienced acts adjust stage volume and drum setup to work within them. Telling the band the limiter level at the booking stage matters more than the size of the room. Some venues also set a curfew, which affects how the sets are arranged.

Most pop bands perform for two to three hours, divided into sets with short breaks. Pop music sets tend to feature well-known singalong material that keeps the audience engaged throughout the evening. It is worth discussing the event schedule with the band to plan the best set structure.
