Let us help you find the perfect entertainment to make your event unforgettable!
On average, rock bands cost $600-$1000. The exact price can vary depending on your location, the size of the group, and their experience level. Seasoned musicians in a 5 or 6-piece band may charge two thousand dollars or more for a multi-hour event. Whereas a rock duo or trio might perform private parties for a few hundred dollars.
Most rock bands have a predetermined list of songs they use to build setlists for their live performances. Rock cover bands will have a vast repertoire of popular hits from artists like AC/DC, Aerosmith, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, and more. Review their list and let the group know which songs you’d most like to be included at your event.
If there’s a specific song you want that is not on their song list, the band may be able to learn it with enough notice. Make this request before booking if it’s really important to you.
Many rock bands will bring all the electrical and sound equipment they need with them, but it’s a good idea to check with the band to see what they might need from you or the venue. At the very least, they’ll likely need nearby electrical outlets and enough space to fit multiple musicians and their instruments. Make sure to budget time for your rock band to set up and conduct a sound check before their set.
Rock bands are most commonly booked for 2-3 hours, but they can often work within any event length. Though, because of the amount of work involved in setting up instruments, they may have a minimum performance time. For longer events, most live bands will perform in 30-45 minute sets with a short break in between each.
Many rock bands begin filling out their calendar months at a time, so it’s best to book as soon as possible to ensure the group you want will be available. Wedding bands in particular get booked up fast for the weekends of peak seasons. As soon as you have your venue secured, go ahead and book your live entertainment.
Tipping isn’t generally required for public or ticketed events, but for private special events like weddings, a tip is often expected. If you are going to tip, you should plan for $20-$35 per musician. Or in some cases, you can put out a tip jar to let your guests tip the band as well if they’re having a good time. There’s nothing more rock 'n' roll than generosity!
Rock music would be a hit at almost any type of special event. You can book a rock tribute band for your wedding reception, a lively rock party band for prom, or a mellow rock duo or trio for your corporate event. Rock bands are also great for fairs, festivals, and block parties!
