Pop & Rock Bands in the North East
Pop and rock bands covering the whole of the North East
From Jesmond, Stockton-on-Tees, Durham and Hexham, the North East has a huge choice of venues and a busy calendar of wedding receptions, corporate parties and celebrations. The pop and rock bands on this page cover the whole region, and many play several dates a month within it.
Our listings for the North East take in Durham, Middlesbrough, Newcastle upon Tyne and Northumberland. Each of those areas has its own page too, which you'll find in the links further down, but the acts here will travel to any of them.
Venues across the North East include Newcastle Civic Centre, Crathorne Hall, Durham Castle, Langley Castle, Matfen Hall and Hardwick Hall. It's worth asking yours early about finish times and any sound limiter, as both affect what works on the night.
Across the North East you can choose from chart pop, indie, classic rock and party-anthem bands. Most will take a few requests ahead of the day, and many can learn a special song if you ask.

The North East is a large area, so it's worth mentioning your venue's exact location when you enquire. Acts based nearby often have more availability and more experience of local venues, and we'll point you towards them.
Smaller line-ups typically start from around £1,000, while bigger acts can reach £3,000 or more. Summer Saturdays and December are the busiest dates. The price in your quote includes PA, lighting and travel, so it won't change once you've booked.
Every act's page has video and audio of the performers who would actually play at your wedding or event, a full song list and written reviews from people who have booked them. It's the easiest way to judge the style before you commit.
The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the event. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the day in case anything needs sorting.
