Hire 80s Tribute Band In Dartford

Hire 80s Tribute Acts & 80s Themed Bands

Bring the sound, style and energy of the 1980s to your event with an 80s tribute act, 80s themed band or live 80s show from Garston Entertainments.

From Madonna, Whitney Houston and Cyndi Lauper to Duran Duran, Wham!, Bon Jovi, Queen and the biggest pop, rock and dance anthems of the decade, our 80s entertainers recreate one of the most recognisable eras in popular music.

Garston Entertainments supplies professional 80s tribute acts and bands throughout the UK for private parties, weddings, corporate events, themed nights, festivals, hotels, holiday parks, theatres, clubs and live music venues.

80s Tribute Bands, Singers & Themed Shows

Our 80s entertainment includes everything from solo singers and tribute performers through to duos, live bands and larger 80s themed productions.

Depending on the act, performances can feature a mixture of 1980s pop, dance, rock, new wave, synth-pop, soul and classic party anthems. This makes an 80s act particularly versatile for events where the audience wants familiar songs, strong vocals and music they can sing and dance along to.

Many of our acts also offer authentic 80s styling, costumes, lighting and production to help create the atmosphere of a dedicated 1980s themed event.

Popular 80s Music Styles

The 1980s produced an enormous variety of music, which means we can recommend different styles of entertainment depending on your event and audience.

• 80s Pop: Madonna, Wham!, Cyndi Lauper, Kylie Minogue, Rick Astley and other instantly recognisable pop favourites.
• 80s Dance & Party: upbeat floor-fillers, disco-influenced hits and classic 80s dance anthems.
• 80s Rock: Queen, Bon Jovi, Journey, Bryan Adams and other stadium-sized rock favourites.
• New Wave & Synth-Pop: Duran Duran, Human League, A-ha, Eurythmics, Soft Cell and similar electronic pop classics.
• 80s Soul & Pop: Whitney Houston, Lionel Richie, George Michael and some of the decade's biggest vocal hits.

Choosing the Right 80s Act for Your Event

The best choice will depend on the atmosphere you want to create.

For a private party or wedding, an 80s party band with a broad repertoire can provide recognisable songs and a strong dance-floor atmosphere. For a dedicated 80s night, festival or theatre event, a larger themed production can create more of a complete 1980s experience.

Solo 80s singers and tribute performers can be a particularly good option for smaller venues, hotels and events where space or budget is more limited, while duos provide a step up in visual and musical impact without requiring the space needed for a full band.

If you're unsure which type of act would work best, speak to our booking team and we'll help you compare the available options.
