Frequently asked questions


Most festival 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 festival bands have lighting systems, but most usually will charge extra for this or recommend a third party supplier for you to use.

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.

Each event is different but the typical performance time for festival bands is 2 x 45 minutes sets within a 2 hours period. 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.

Booking festival bands 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.

The cost of hiring musicians can vary significantly depending on the type of act. The average price is currently £1146. Budget-level acts may be available for as low as £150, while top-tier acts can command prices as high as £10266.

By hiring a festival wedding band, you are guaranteeing your guests a taste of that Glastonbury atmosphere, with foot stompin' sing-alongs late into the night! The acts featured on this page are just a selection of the local bands for hire, and you can use the "advanced search" feature to find a festival folk wedding band near you.

With the huge rise in popularity of the "Wed-Fest", our bands for hire are busier than ever. Wed-Fests are always fantastic occasions - they are usually hosted outside, in a tent or tipi, with large BBQs and lots and lots of live music! Festival bands will be absolutely perfect for these occasions. Some of them will cover traditional folk material; others will play more Mumford-esq versions of pop, chart and rock music.

Top tip: If you're having a smaller event, many festival folk bands will be happy to perform acoustically or “roaming”. Always let your contact in the band know how many guests you are planning to have attend, as this will usually dictate whether they perform with a PA or not.
