Photo of Tunehead Tunehead "Amazing !!! Great band, these guys really know how to get a crowd up and dancing!" Based in Oxford, England E & L - Joe's Bar and Grill, Oxford Photo of The Publicans The Publicans "I booked the Publicans to perform at my wedding, absolutely amazing, professional and talented group of people. Already looking for an excuse to book them again. Massive thank you all, you made the evening incredible." Based in Oxford, England Joe - Private Wedding Photo of Let It Bleed Let It Bleed "What can I say, what an amazing band! Booked for the celebration of life for my dad who was a massive stones fan and it was better than I could have ever imagined. The sound was great, not gimmicky, just a great band playing the best stones song. 80 guests and everyone said how good they were. One thing that sets the bar high for them is I asked for a song that isn't typically found on a stones set list but holds deep sentiment to myself, with only a weeks notice I didn't think they'd be able to do it....and they did! Such a lovely way to remember my dad....he would have absolutely loved it! Thank you so much guys! P.s. sorry it took so long to write this review!" Based in Abingdon, England (6 miles from Oxford) 9th July 2026 Adrianne Holman - Celebration of life Photo of Ock Street Band Ock Street Band "Great duo who understood exactly the type of music and the playlist required. A superb evening of 70s style folk performed by lovely people." Based in Abingdon, England (6 miles from Oxford) Phil Johnson - Birthday party Photo of Toby Jug Toby Jug "We hired Toby for an informal 18th birthday party in our garden. He was excellent, even learning a few new songs in advance to please the birthday girl. He was exactly the right person for this kind of event, nice and chilled but very talented. Highly recommend Toby to anyone wanted a guitarist/singer for an event." Based in Wallingford, England (12 miles from Oxford) 13th July 2026 Mike Yardley - Daughters 18th Birthday Photo of George Zebra George Zebra "Great experience. The band were perfect for the audience. They arrived early to set up and started on time. Three great sets and interacted really well and joined in the fun. Massive thank you for creating a great night!" Based in Aylesbury, England (19 miles from Oxford) Steve B

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring cover bands is £650, with prices from £150 to £2,150+. 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.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
