Based in Elgin, Illinois (72 miles from Milwaukee) Ricky P - Birthday Party Photo of Big City Dixieland Band Big City Dixieland Band "Big City Dixieland was a HUGE hit in our City Parade! Audiences from all ages were singing along, clapping and even dancing in the grass! Big City Dixieland sounded great! From what we (the organizers) could hear, they played a good variety of lively, well-known Dixieland Music, including a patriotic song. It was very easy to work with Maureen and Michael, their band arrived early, and everyone was very professional. We will definitely be hiring Big City Dixieland band for our next event in 2025!"

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring cover bands is $1,000, with prices from $210 to $3,550+. 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.
