Have there been many other acts which play one band's music in another band style? Depeche Mode played à la Madness would be a fun live experience.

Haysead Dixie obviously comes to mind. 
And Luther Wright & the Wrongs' Rebuild the Wall is an entire bluegrass version of Pink Floyd's The Wall that's worth checking out.

While I was listening to that, YouTube suggested Iron Horses two discs of bluegrass Metallica covers to me. Mmmm.

Not sure if it's true or not but I once heard of an AWB tribute called Average Height Band.

 

Think I remember a band (possibly from the Leeds area) called the Above Average Weight Band.

And also, the Average Bar Band. 

 

What about the Dixie Chicks all-transvestite band - Chicks with Dixie.

The really good ones tell you who they tribute , tell you that they are not the original band,, and make you laugh too:

Fake That

Deft Leppard

From Newcastle, The Reet Hot Chilli Peppers

The Rolling Clones  

Oasish

I know of some guys who have played as Geoff Leppard (rather than Jeff) in "tribute" to the patron saint of Lotus owners, Geoff Capes.

 

I've toyed with forming a fake boy band called Westlike

I can't remember who or what now, but wasn't there a band fronted by an Elvis impersonator that didn't play Elvis songs. 

Elvana - the Elvis fronted Nirvana covers band?

Their version of Aneurysm is a thing of genius but I'm  not certain I could stick a full gig

Just seen an advert wanting a guitarist for a North East based tribute band called NEvana. 

Aye I was bassist in that band for a bit and came up with the name 😂

There is/was also Bon Geordie up here if I remember right.
