Everything You Need To Know

Steel Bands in the East Midlands cost from £325 to £784. The average price in 2025 was £725. Prices vary depending on experience, demand, size of act, travel costs and the specs of the equipment provided. Artists travelling into the East Midlands from further away will usually charge more than a local act due to travel time and fuel costs.
