Latest reviews of our Tribute Bands in Eastleigh
"Had this band for my 60th birthday on Saturday 12th Oct & I could not fault them, they were professional through the whole process of booking them many weeks ago. Their music was absolutely brilliant & I knew every track & danced with my guests to many. I was asked several times where I got the band from as everyone thought they were amazing, I cannot recommend 19Eighties enough, they were second to none & I want to thank them for such a brilliant night had by all Deb Clark "
Debra hired 19Eighties for a Private event (available in Eastleigh)
"19Eighties were great. Marcos was communicative before the gig, the band arrived promptly and their attention to detail for sound quality and song replication was impeccable. Joey is a star on the keytar, and Marcos and Lenin super tight too. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for an 80's party band. Thanks!"

FAQs about hiring Tribute Bands in Eastleigh
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
What is a tribute band?
A tribute band is a musical group that exclusively performs the songs of a specific well-known artist or band, imitating their style, appearance, and often, their stage presence. These bands are dedicated to recreating the music and sometimes even the costumes and mannerisms of the original artists, offering audiences a nostalgic or celebratory experience. Tribute acts can play anywhere from weddings to private events to corporate events, where guests can enjoy a live performance reminiscent of their favourite artists, even if the original band is no longer active or available for shows.
What is the difference between a cover band and a tribute band?
A cover band performs a wide range of songs from different artists and genres, while a tribute band is dedicated to emulating the music, style, and often the appearance of a specific artist or band.
How long should a tribute band play?
Tribute bands normally perform two 1-hour sets or three 40-minute sets, with a 15- to 30-minute break in between. Your band's setup and soundcheck will take about an hour and a half.
What makes a good tribute band?
A standout tribute band meticulously replicates the original artist's music, stage presence, and mannerisms. Attention to detail in everything from sound to appearance, is paramount. Professionalism in punctuality and performance is crucial. Hire a tribute act that balances popular hits and fan favourites to keep the audience engaged. A great band strikes the perfect balance between authenticity and adaptability, creating an unforgettable homage to the original artist.

Do tribute bands pay royalties?
Tribute bands in the UK typically do not pay royalties for performing live cover versions of songs. However, the venues where these bands perform might have licenses with performance rights organisations (PROs) like PRS for Music, which allows them to host live music events. These licenses often cover the performance of copyrighted songs, ensuring that songwriters and original artists receive royalties for their work. Tribute artists benefit from these venue licenses, allowing them to perform without individual royalty obligations. It's important for venues to have the appropriate licenses to ensure compliance with copyright laws and fair compensation for songwriters.
