5/5 from 376 reviews
Photo of MG Entertainment, Inc. MG Entertainment, Inc. "We booked WOW- We're One World for our fundraising gala event and they put on an amazing show. The mix of music was great, the band was professional and sounded so solid. They showed up in full glam attire to our elevated event. Communication was easy and we really enjoyed hosting them. Our crowd was enjoying dancing and singing along to all the songs through the night and gave great reviews. We are booking them again for our event this year!"

Not enough cats can just Fred Astaire their way through a song."

Crooner Ed customized and delivered the most wonderful show for my mother’s 90th birthday! The song choices were perfect and his voice is amazing! I requested songs from the Rat Pack, and was extremely impressed with his choices and execution. A wonderful addition to any special event. Thanks Crooner Ed for playing a part in making my mom’s birthday such a memorable one.

Awesome show! These guys truly sound and look like the real band. Favorite songs were many but loved Simple Man, That Smell, and of course Freebird. Sent chills up my spine. Their backup girl singers were outstanding too. Their voices came thru beautifully. I definitely recommend this band. I hope to see and hear them again in the future." Based in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States 28th June 2026 ken johnson Photo of 2Shay 2Shay "Love the singers voice. Love her deep mellow tones and sassy fun songs. Good playlist for this duo. Guitarist is great. Went back and saw them two more times." Based in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States Corinne - Cruise

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring oldies bands is $950, with prices from $270 to $4,100+. Pricing depends on band size, performance length and the range of decades covered. Oldies bands typically perform hits from the 1950s through to the 1980s and vary from compact trios to larger groups with multiple vocalists.

The oldies bands for hire typically cover hits from the 1950s through to the 1980s, including rock and roll, doo-wop, Motown, pop, disco and classic rock. Many bands offer a broad greatest-hits style setlist that touches on multiple decades of popular music.

Hiring oldies bands is ideal for birthday parties, anniversary celebrations, weddings, corporate events, retirement parties and any occasion where nostalgia and sing-along favourites will get guests on their feet. Most bands have a broad repertoire that can be tailored to the age group and tastes of the audience.

Many oldies bands can tailor their setlist to focus on a particular era if requested. Whether the event calls for 1960s Motown, 1970s disco or a broader oldies mix, most bands are flexible. It is advisable to discuss your preferences when making an enquiry.

Most oldies bands provide their own instruments, amplifiers and PA system for standard event spaces. For larger venues or outdoor events, additional sound equipment may be needed. It is worth confirming technical details before booking.

The repertoire is built to be recognised, so a mixed-age room usually finds common ground faster than it would with a single-genre act. Older guests get the original hits and younger ones know most of them from film and television. Where one age group dominates, say so, and the band can weight the set rather than spreading it thin.

Most stay close to the records, since recognition is the whole point, though tempos are often lifted a little for a dance floor. Some acts modernise the backing while keeping the melody, which suits a younger crowd. Asking which approach an act takes is worth doing, as it changes the feel more than the song list does.

Most bookings place the band after the meal and the speeches, once guests are ready to be on their feet. An earlier slot works for a daytime event or where something lighter is wanted while people arrive. The booking is normally split into two performances with a gap between, so the room can eat or move.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.
