Great song choices and good vibes!" Based in Newcastle, New South Wales (123 miles from Port Macquarie) 1st October 2026 Leesa - Corporate Event in Pokolbin Photo of Jason Carruthers Country Hits Rock N Roll Jason Carruthers Country Hits Rock N Roll "Shout out to Jason for making my hubby's 60th birthday celebrations so much more enjoyable. Any song requests we had Jason was happy to make our choice of music happen. We added karaoke and Jason was more than happy to share the stage and mic. Jason was on time and had a great set-up, lights, posters and his guitar, sang and got the guests singing. Thank you Jason. Thankyou" Based in Hunter Valley, New South Wales (133 miles from Port Macquarie) Nancy Pearce - Private birthday party Photo of Beach Symphony Beach Symphony "Beach Symphony was an incredible addition to our wedding. Their versatility and talent truly shone through, seamlessly blending different genres to create the perfect atmosphere. From elegant classical pieces during the ceremony to lively tunes that got everyone dancing at the reception, they were exceptional. Their professionalism and ability to adapt to the vibe of the event made our day even more memorable. Highly recommend this talented band for any occasion!" Based in Manly, New South Wales (189 miles from Port Macquarie) 26th December 2025 Ashley - Wedding, Blue Mountains, January 2025 Photo of Duo Acoustic Duo Acoustic "The band were amazing and really made our night. The guests were really enjoying the music as they are lively and the songs choice were great. Ed and Simone set up everything by themselves and Iet me worry free, also very easy to deal with, they even asked me what would i like them to wear also. They were perfectly in tune and everything was excellent." Based in Sydney, New South Wales (195 miles from Port Macquarie) 21st September 2026 Le Anh Nguyen - Wedding at Le Montage, Iron Cove Bay Photo of Slumberjacks Slumberjacks "The band members, very respectful and responsible, arrived on time and were very professional at all times. But honestly, we felt very disappointed that when contacting this band, we were specific about confirming if they played certain songs, certain artists, including rock and roll songs, which was the main concept of the party including decoration, etc. A party obviously centered on the birthday person for their 80th birthday, and the band played a selection of music that wasn’t what we requested. So, sorry for the honesty, but in that sense, we were very very disappointed. The idea was to hear the birthday person’s favorite songs, and that didn’t happen. That was the main reason we decided to invest in a band instead of going to a nightclub to listen to random music." Based in Sydney, New South Wales (195 miles from Port Macquarie) 14th July 2026 Loren - Birthday

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring cover bands is $1,400, with prices from $280 to $5,500+. Pricing is mainly driven by the number of band members, performance duration and whether the band supplies its own sound and lighting equipment. Cover bands range from small acoustic acts to large party bands, so the line-up and production level have the biggest impact on cost.

Many cover bands are happy to learn a specific song for a first dance or other special moment. To get the best results, make this request as early as possible, as some songs require additional rehearsal. Most bands will learn at least one special request at no extra charge.

Most cover bands are self-contained and provide their own PA system, instruments, amplifiers and stage lighting for standard event venues. For larger spaces or outdoor events, additional equipment may be required. It is a good idea to confirm all technical and staging details with the band before booking.

The cover bands for hire cover a huge range of genres including pop, rock, soul, funk, disco, indie, hip hop and current chart hits. Many cover bands specialise in a particular era or style, while others offer a broad mix designed to appeal to all ages and tastes. Browsing band profiles on Gig Heaven is the best way to find the right musical fit.

Hiring cover bands is one of the most popular entertainment choices for weddings, corporate events, birthday parties, festivals and private celebrations. A good cover band plays recognisable songs that get guests singing and dancing, making them a reliable option for events where a full dance floor is the goal.

Standard performance times for cover bands are two to three hours, usually split into two or three sets. Many function bands offer DJ or background music services between sets, and some can extend their evening with additional acoustic or DJ-only slots. Performance formats can usually be adjusted to fit the event schedule.
