1970s & 80s Style Bands for hire in Leicester, Leicestershire

Hire a 70s or 80s Cover Band in Leicester, Leicestershire

From disco and funk to synth-pop and new wave, the bands in this category cover two of the most musically rich decades on record. Whether you're planning a themed party, a corporate evening or a wedding reception with a retro flavour, there's a strong selection of 70s and 80s acts available near you.

Era-spanning covers or specialist acts?

Some bands cover both decades equally, blending 70s disco and funk with 80s pop and rock in a single setlist. Others specialise: dedicated disco and funk acts, glam and classic rock bands, or new wave and synth-pop outfits. Many include period costumes as part of the show. For a single-artist focus, tribute bands are worth exploring - ABBA and Queen acts are consistently popular in this era. Party bands and disco and funk bands are also worth a look if the 70s sound is the priority.

Set formats and what's included

Most acts perform two sets of around 45 minutes, with a DJ playlist between sets. Many are self-contained with their own PA, though larger venues may need additional equipment - always check with the act. Band size typically ranges from 3 to 6 pieces, and acts with both male and female vocals tend to have the broadest crowd appeal.
