Frequently asked questions


If your venue is within the London Congestion Charge zone, clarify with your chosen act how they handle this before confirming the booking. Some 90s, 00s & modern style bands include it in their quoted price; others add it to travel expenses afterwards. The charge is currently £18 if paid on the day or in advance, or £21 if paid by midnight of the third day after travel. It is also worth checking whether your venue falls within the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), which now covers most of Greater London. The ULEZ daily charge is £12.50 for most vehicles. As with the Congestion Charge, some acts will absorb this cost and others will pass it on, so it is worth confirming upfront. Car parking costs should also be discussed in advance.

Each event is different but the typical performance time for 90s, 00s & modern style bands in London is 2 x 45-minute sets within a 2-hour period, with a 30-minute break in between. Some acts are happy to play longer sets or additional sets. Often, breaks can be negotiated but you should be aware that the price may increase if the musicians need to be onsite for a longer period of time.

You should always check whether or not your act is prepared to play outdoors. It's sometimes not possible for acts that use a lot of electronic equipment to perform anywhere where it might rain. If the act is happy to perform outdoors you should plan to have electrical outlets close to the performance area and provide a flat surface as well as a cover in case of rain.

Booking 90s, 00s & modern style bands in London as early as possible increases the chance of securing their availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many acts also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged performances for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Most 90s, 00s & modern style bands are self-contained and provide their own sound equipment which is suitable for typical situations. If your event is to be held in a large venue, or you have more than 300 guests, we recommend that additional sound equipment should be used. Always ask your act about their sound system requirements. Some 90s, 00s & modern style bands in London have lighting systems, but most usually will charge extra for this or recommend a third party supplier for you to use.

The cost of hiring musicians in London can vary significantly depending on the type of act. The average price is currently £1388. Budget-level acts may be available for as low as £200, while top-tier acts can command prices as high as £11800.

Sound limiters are now common at many UK wedding venues, particularly those in residential areas or with noise-sensitive neighbours. They work by cutting the power to amplified equipment if the volume exceeds a set threshold. Most professional bands can work within standard limiter settings without any real impact on the performance. If your venue's limiter is set at 95dB or above, the majority of bands will have no difficulty. Below 95dB it is worth flagging to the band in advance, as they may need to adjust their setup - for example, using an electronic drum kit instead of an acoustic one, or opting for a smaller line-up. Ask your venue for the exact decibel level and pass it on when you make your enquiry, so the band can confirm they can accommodate it.

As a general guide, a 3-piece band needs a performance area of roughly 3m x 3m. Add approximately 1m of width for each additional musician. A 5-piece band would therefore need around 3m x 5m as a minimum. Most bands will also need a small amount of additional space at the sides or rear for equipment cases during the performance. A raised stage is not essential but does help the band make a bigger visual impact, particularly in larger rooms. The performance area needs to be flat, dry and close to a power supply. If you are unsure whether your venue can accommodate a particular band, share the dimensions with them when enquiring and they will be able to advise. Venues with unusual layouts or low ceilings are worth flagging too.

Most professional bands provide a playlist through their PA system during intervals, so there is no gap in the music and no awkward silence while they take a break. This is usually included as standard and the band will typically put together a playlist that fits the mood of the evening. Some acts offer an upgraded DJ service where a member of the band or a dedicated DJ manages the music between sets, takes requests and keeps the energy going. This is usually available as a paid add-on. Check the act's profile or ask when enquiring if this is something you would like.

In most cases, no. The majority of professional bands provide music through their PA system during intervals and after their final set, so your guests will have continuous music throughout the evening without needing a separate DJ. This is usually included in the booking. If you want a more interactive DJ experience - someone to take requests, mix tracks and keep the dancefloor going after the band finishes - many bands offer this as an optional upgrade, or you can book a DJ separately. It is worth deciding early how late you want music to continue, as a band's final set will typically finish by midnight or the venue curfew, and a DJ can be a cost-effective way of extending the night.

Professional bands take their commitments seriously and cancellations are rare, but illness, accidents or unforeseen circumstances can occasionally affect a booking. It is worth checking what provisions are in place when you book. Many acts and agencies have contingency arrangements, such as calling on dep musicians or arranging a suitable replacement act at short notice. When booking, make sure you receive a written contract that sets out the cancellation terms clearly - for both sides. If you are booking through an agency, ask specifically what happens in the event the act cannot perform. Keeping communication open with your band in the weeks before the event also helps flag any potential issues early.

Band size affects both the sound and the budget. A 3-piece can fill a dancefloor just as effectively as a larger act and tends to be better suited to smaller venues or those with sound restrictions. A 4 or 5-piece gives a fuller sound and more stage presence, which works well in larger rooms. Bigger show bands with brass sections, multiple vocalists or additional musicians create a more spectacular impact but cost more and need more space. As a rough guide, match the band size to your guest numbers and venue capacity. For events up to around 100 guests, a 3 or 4-piece is usually ideal. For 150 or more, a 4 or 5-piece tends to work better. For very large events over 300 guests you may also need to consider whether the band's own PA system is sufficient, or whether additional sound equipment will be needed.

Hire a 90s, 00s or Modern Style Band in London

The music of the 1990s and 2000s now dominates wedding playlists and party setlists, and bands specialising in this era are in strong demand. From Britpop and grunge to pop, R&B and current chart music, the acts in this category cover the songs that today's couples and party hosts grew up with. With 474 acts available near you, there is good choice across styles and budgets.

90s and 00s music styles

Britpop and indie acts cover Oasis, Blur, Pulp, Arctic Monkeys and the guitar bands of the era. Pop-focused acts play Spice Girls, Take That, Destiny's Child, Robbie Williams and more recent chart hits. Some bands span the full range from 90s classics to current music, which works well for events with a mixed-age guest list. For acts that lean heavily into the indie and guitar end, browse our indie bands category. For the decade before, see our 80s bands.

Weddings and parties

90s and 00s bands are a popular choice for weddings where the couple grew up with the music, and for themed parties and milestone birthdays. The songs are familiar enough to get a broad audience dancing, while the era-specific focus makes the evening feel more curated than a general covers set. For a wider repertoire that extends beyond the 90s and 00s, a covers band or party band with a strong 90s/00s section may suit better.

Themed events and corporate bookings

90s themed nights, Britpop parties and decade-themed corporate events are all popular bookings. Many acts offer themed extras and encourage audience participation. Corporate Christmas parties and team celebrations also suit the high-energy, familiar setlists these bands deliver.
