Photo of Two For The Road - Acoustic Duo Two For The Road - Acoustic Duo "Had so many messages this morning to say how they enjoyed and how good the singing/music was so thank you both so much for that!" Based in Swansea, Wales 26th February 2026 Lucy Barnett - Nelson RFC Photo of The Wild Sons The Wild Sons "Wow… where to start! One word INCREDIBLE. Booking The Wild Sons was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the acoustic day performance until the very last song, the energy they brought was absolutely incredible. The dance floor was packed all night, and they created the kind of atmosphere we’d always dreamed of. They had everyone up dancing and singing along. We’ve lost count of how many people have told us they were the best wedding band they’ve ever seen. So many of our guests have asked for their name because they were so impressed! Not only are they phenomenally talented musicians, but they were also so friendly and professional throughout the whole process. Alun made everything feel effortless, allowing us to relax and enjoy every second of the day. If you’re looking for a band that will keep the dance floor full, bring incredible energy, and leave your guests talking about your wedding for ages to come, look no further. The Wild Sons were genuinely one of the highlights of our entire day, and we couldn’t have imagined celebrating without them. Thank you for giving us the most unforgettable entertainment - we will be talking about it for the rest of our lives! 🤘🏽🤍" Based in Cardiff, Wales (34 miles from Swansea) 6th October 2026 Beverly Long - Wedding 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 (34 miles from Swansea) 13th July 2026 Lynda Townley - Outdoor Birthday Party 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 (34 miles from Swansea) 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 (34 miles from Swansea) 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 (34 miles from Swansea) Simon Rathbone - Wedding Nov 2019

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for rock bands ranges from £140 to £2,200+, with an average of £650. Rates depend on the number of band members, performance duration and whether the band supplies its own sound and lighting. Rock bands vary from power trios to larger outfits, and the size and production level of the act is the biggest cost factor.

The rock bands for hire cover a broad range of rock music including classic rock, indie rock, alternative, pop rock, hard rock, blues rock and modern rock. Many bands have extensive setlists spanning several decades of rock hits.

Typical bookings for rock bands include weddings, birthday parties, corporate events, festivals, pub and bar gigs and any event where live, guitar-driven music is the focus. Many rock bands can adjust their volume and setlist to suit both intimate venues and larger stages.

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. Set formats can usually be adjusted to suit the event.

Most rock bands are experienced at adjusting their volume to suit different settings. Many carry equipment that allows them to control sound levels without losing energy. It is a good idea to discuss any venue noise restrictions with the band before booking.

Most rock bands are self-contained and provide their own instruments, amplifiers and PA system. For larger stages or outdoor events, additional sound equipment may be needed. It is advisable to confirm all technical details before booking.
