In theory, you should pay Royalty Fees to the MCPS-PRS (in the Uk) for the right to play someone elses music, however this is nearly impossible to police. My band regularly played Rage Against The Machine and Guns n Roses live for some time before we wrote our own music, and we never paid royalties.

So, to answer your question in short, if you are performing someone elses music you should legally pay royalties but nobody is going to make you.
