Live 80s Tribute Band for Hire UK
The Ultimate 80s are a five-piece live band playing the pop, new wave, soul and rock songs that defined the 1980s. Lead vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards and drums give the show the energy of a full live performance, whether the occasion is an 80s theme night, corporate celebration, wedding reception or private party. Formed in 2009, the band has entertained audiences across the UK and internationally.
The show moves between the bright pop of Wham! and Duran Duran, the synth sounds of Erasure and The Human League, dance-floor favourites by Lionel Richie and Luther Vandross, and the big choruses of Bon Jovi and Journey. Guests can hear several sides of the decade in one performance, played by musicians with extensive live event experience.
From “Club Tropicana”, “Rio” and “Take On Me” to “A Little Respect”, “Footloose” and “Never Too Much”, the repertoire is built around songs people know. Rock anthems such as “Summer of ’69”, “Don’t Stop Believin’” and “Livin’ on a Prayer” add another lift when the room is ready to sing along. See the separate set list for more examples; the final running order is agreed around the event and the chosen performance length.
The keyboards bring out the familiar electronic sounds of the era while live guitar, bass and drums keep the performance moving. It is an appealing mix for guests who grew up with the records and for younger audiences discovering the songs through films, parties and playlists.
The band’s experience extends from wedding celebrations and birthdays to corporate functions and larger live events. Its musicians have performed on festival, arena and international stages. Garston’s client reviews praise the band’s organisation, audience interaction and ability to bring people onto the dance floor.

Carpmaels & Ransford, 80s themed staff party.“The Ultimate 80s were perfect for our firm’s NY 1980’s themed fancy dress party. The band themselves were friendly and efficient when setting up. Once they were underway they got the crowd going all night. They rocked all the great 80’s favourites and threw in some cult classics for the music geeks among us to embrace!! Looking and sounding the part, they contributed hugely to our party being a wild success and were even ok about a bit of stage invasion and audience participation from some more inebriated members of staff. I would recommend them to everyone as the cherry on top of any 80’s themed party!!

Pret a Manger, Old BillingsgateI've had nothing but praise from the management at Pret A Manger following your stunning performance at their Summer Party at Old Billingsgate last week. You had the dance floor packed from the first song and kept them there all night. The band were awesome and your job as front man keeping the audience fired up didn't go unnoticed. The company who booked you said they would definitely book the band again and recommend you to anyone looking for a great 80's band.
