The best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/articles\/music\/university.html\">entertainment for university balls<\/a> is upbeat, charismatic, enthusiastic and above all&#8230; fun!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From freshers week to leavers balls and summer or Christmas events, choosing entertainment can leave organisers with more than a bit of a headache!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As such, we&#8217;ve put together a handy guide for anyone organising a student event, with our top picks of entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"box white-h4\"><h4>Things to consider when hiring entertainment for university events<\/h4>\n<ul>\n \t<li>Are the students going to be familiar with the repertoire?<\/li>\n \t<li>Will the performance area be suitable for the band?<\/li>\n \t<li>Do you want to create an atmosphere that&#8217;s suitable for dancing?<\/li>\n \t<li>Do you want a DJ set after the gig?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contemporary music is usually key<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When organising entertainment for university balls, it is important to consider what the majority of students enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As many students are into contemporary and popular music, entertainment that fits into the same style and genre of contemporary pop artists is likely to be well received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">As a result of this, a lot of bands that are suitable for university balls perform <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/search\/indie_bands.html\">indie<\/a> and rock hits from the past 5 decades. Looking for a band with a smart look and contemporary repertoire is going to be a surefire way to win over students.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\"

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">However, event organisers should not feel pressured into booking something generic.&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">From ceilidh dance bands to 1920s style bands, students will appreciate entertainment that brings a new approach to music, different to what is displayed in popular culture.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Organising an event that offers students something a little different and \u2018quirky\u2019 may seem a little dangerous, but if coordinated well, could be the event of the year!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should you change the entertainment depending on the season?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many university balls take place at various times of the year and, whether the ball is before Christmas or at the end of a summer semester, the entertainment can be tailored to suit the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During a summer ball, event organisers may want to hold musical performances outside and perhaps hire a DJ to perform late into the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However during the winter, when it\u2019s not so warm or pleasant outside, it may be best to hold a black tie event with a party band or something slightly more sophisticated \u2013 such as a swing band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Top tip:&nbsp;<\/strong>There are even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/search\/christmas_bands.html\">Christmas bands<\/a> available for hire to get everyone into the festive spirit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reflect your theme in your choice of entertainment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many students will happily explain how much fun a theme night can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From dressing up, to themed drinks and themed entertainment \u2013 the fun can last all night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However for those organising a themed event, the variations of entertainment available may be rather confusing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some ideas to get the inspirational juices flowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/search\/rock_n_roll_bands.html\">50s Retro Rock N Roll band<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/search\/party_bands.html\">Party Bands<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/search\/celtic_groups_ceilidh_bands.html\">Celtic\/Ceilidh Groups<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/search\/latin_salsa_mariachi_bands.html\">Latin\/Mariachi Bands<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t forget, some of the most popular themes will revolve around current TV and film, so don&#8217;t be scared to also use your latest Netflix addiction for inspiration!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consider a tribute artist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some student unions have bigger budgets than others, and sometimes this means they have the ability to hire in someone who is currently popular with the charts, or maybe even a classic act enjoying a comeback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"716\"

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, when the budget is tighter and booking Rudimental or The Stereophonics isn\u2019t an opinion, a tribute artist may suit just as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are tributes to all sorts of acts that might be appropriate, from modern rock bands like Maroon 5 and Kings of Leon, to the classics of Elvis or The Beach Boys and many more, hiring a great tribute artist is guaranteed to get everyone on their feet dancing and having a great time.<b>&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul
