Reviews of Rock Bands based near Oxford

5/5 from 77 reviews
Photo of Red Hot Chili Peppers Experience Red Hot Chili Peppers Experience "These guys really do sound and look like the real thing, not to be missed." Based in Oxford, England Craig Watson - Chalgrove Live Music Festival Photo of Let It Bleed Let It Bleed "What can I say, what an amazing band! Booked for the celebration of life for my dad who was a massive stones fan and it was better than I could have ever imagined. The sound was great, not gimmicky, just a great band playing the best stones song. 80 guests and everyone said how good they were. One thing that sets the bar high for them is I asked for a song that isn't typically found on a stones set list but holds deep sentiment to myself, with only a weeks notice I didn't think they'd be able to do it....and they did! Such a lovely way to remember my dad....he would have absolutely loved it! Thank you so much guys! P.s. sorry it took so long to write this review!" Based in Abingdon, England (6 miles from Oxford) 9th July 2026 Adrianne Holman - Celebration of life Photo of Mumfudden Suns Mumfudden Suns "Where do I even start? These gents were incredible. They were set up and raring to go prior to all guests arriving, they had a fantastic repertoire (something for everyone). Great vocals, excellent playing. I cannot fault them. They really made my wedding special and really hit home with our first dance request! (They played "Where is my mind" live). Beautiful night." Based in Aylesbury, England (19 miles from Oxford) Rachel B Photo of Elvis tribute and rock n roll show Elvis tribute and rock n roll show "Paul was a joy to deal with, he responded to quickly to any messages. Arrived early to set up and had the crowd singing and dancing all night with his sets. Having the rock n roll show first was a great warm up to his Elvis set which we would happily book again" Based in High Wycombe, England (23 miles from Oxford) Lee Bryant - Gade & Goose Photo of Elvin Cole Elvin Cole "These guys are great, all excellent musicians, great mix of music, good humour and banter with the audience. Seen them a few times now and they never disappoint. Clive Fletcher, Sunday 1 March 2026" Based in Reading, England (24 miles from Oxford) 20th March 2026 The whishing Well, Hay's - Clive Fletcher Photo of Revolve Revolve "This is the second year we have had Revolve play for our Christmas Parties at The Civic, Trowbridge and again, they helped to make the events a complete success. A great professional band with awesome sound and fantastic crowd participation. This year we also had them for our New Year's Eve Ball. Feedback was incredible. We cannot recommend them enough and we will definitely be booking them again for future events." Based in Leighton Buzzard, England (28 miles from Oxford) Paul Weimar - Xmas Function

Standard performance times for rock bands are two to three hours, typically split into sets with breaks. Rock performances tend to be louder and more energetic than other genres, so it is worth confirming volume levels and any venue restrictions when making an enquiry.
