Soul Bands in AustraliaMost of what decides whether a booking runs smoothly is settled before the band arrives, and it depends on the room. Venues in Australia range from function suites with a house PA and a fixed curfew to marquees and outdoor terraces where everything has to be carried in, and the same five-piece behaves quite differently in each.
A four or five-piece needs roughly 4 by 3 metres of flat, dry floor, more once a drum riser or a brass section is involved, plus two or three power sockets within reach of the stage area. Check the load-in route early, because stairs, a long carry from the car park, or a lift too small for a bass cabinet all add time, and some acts charge for it. Ask about a sound limiter before you commit to anything: a limiter set low will cut the power mid-song, and there is no way around it once you are there. Curfews work the same way, since an 11pm finish moves the whole running order earlier than most people expect.
Saturdays in peak season and the whole of December go first, often a year out, so the band you want can end up fixing your date rather than the other way round. Distance shows up on a quote as travel, and occasionally as accommodation when the finish time makes the drive home impractical. Friday and Sunday bookings widen the field considerably if the date is flexible. Ask what the travel figure covers, since some acts price it into the fee within a set radius and charge separately beyond it.
Most bookings in Australia come in around $1,300 for two live sets, with duos and trios below that and larger lineups with brass or extra vocalists above it. What varies more than the headline figure is what sits inside it. Check what the quote covers: travel, a DJ set or playlist between sets, and how long the band plays in total rather than how many sets they perform. Most acts take a deposit to hold the date with the balance due close to the event, and overtime is normally charged in half-hour blocks, so agree the finish time in writing rather than on the night.
The average price is $1,300 (AUD), with most priced from $280 to $4,850+. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Ozzi Elvis impersonator
"Absolutely brilliant! We booked Ozzi as a surprise for my mum’s 60th birthday, as she’s a massive Elvis fan, and he honestly made her night. From the moment he walked in, the whole crowd went nuts. He was fantastic at getting everyone involved, interacting with guests and creating such a great atmosphere. Mum was absolutely over the moon, and it ended up being one of the highlights of the entire night. Everyone was raving about him afterwards. Worth every cent and couldn’t recommend him highly enough!"
Sonalisa Mishra Productions
"Excellent performance and great collaboration by Sonalisa. Sonalisa was well supported by Steven and the duo gave a phenomenal performance of old and new Bollywood songs and soft rock. Our guests were enthralled and thoroughly enjoyed their evening. There could not have been a better way to kick off this festive season. Look forward to Sonalisa performing again at our next get together."
Rocking Elvis by Serafino Alberti
"Rocking Elvis was a surprise gift for our mum's 80th birthday. He played a 30min solo gig to a very small crowd indoors and he was everything we could have hoped for. Very entertaining and incredibly engaging, particularly with mum. She absolutely loved him. Serafino is obviously a very genuine, kind and thoughtful person, staying back to talk to mum - he made her feel particularly special. Highly recommended!"
