"Barry DIA" Long (Mgr HR/Bad Brains) Photo of Head Over Heels Band Head Over Heels Band "We hired Head Over Heels for our wedding this past August and they were amazing to work with! We received compliments through the night and the days after our wedding about how good they sounded and how they kept everyone dancing through the night! They played a range of songs and interacted with our guests coming out onto the dance floor and making sure the energy was up! We had a lot of fun activities planned throughout our reception such as hula hooping and a table dash for photos they were fun, flexible, and accommodated all of our requests. We had our ceremony on the beach and the band leader came to the beach to make sure the sound and microphone worked! I can't recommend them enough! There is nothing like a live band and Head Over Heels delivers!!"

Frequently asked questions

The average price for pop bands on Gig Heaven is $1,000, with rates from $190 to $3,550+. Cost varies based on the number of band members, set duration and the production level of the performance. Pop bands range from compact line-ups to larger acts with backing vocalists, and bigger ensembles typically command higher fees.

The pop bands for hire play popular music spanning several decades of chart hits, from classic pop through to current releases. Many pop bands cover a wide range of artists and styles, creating setlists designed to appeal to the broadest possible audience.

Hiring pop bands is one of the most versatile entertainment choices for weddings, corporate events, birthday parties, proms, festivals and private celebrations. Pop music is universally recognised and appeals to guests of all ages and musical tastes.

Most pop bands perform for two to three hours, divided into sets with short breaks. Pop music sets tend to feature well-known singalong material that keeps the audience engaged throughout the evening. It is worth discussing the event schedule with the band to plan the best set structure.

Many pop bands are flexible and can adjust their setlist to include specific songs or focus on particular decades or styles. Some bands also take guest requests during the performance. Gig Heaven recommends discussing your music preferences with the band when making an enquiry.

Most pop bands are self-contained and bring their own PA system, instruments and basic lighting. For larger venues or outdoor stages, additional sound and staging may be required. It is advisable to confirm all technical details before booking.

Most acts will learn a first dance song given a few weeks' notice, and some include one learned request in the fee. Where a track is hard to reproduce live, the band can play the original recording for the dance and take over for the rest of the evening. Sending the song choice early gives them time to rehearse it properly.

Line-ups commonly run from four to eight players, with the larger ones adding brass, percussion or extra vocals. A smaller act suits a tighter room or a lower budget and still covers the same material. Supplier profiles list the line-up options each act offers.

Sound limiters are common in hotels and smaller function rooms, and experienced acts adjust stage volume and drum setup to work within them. Telling the band the limiter level at the booking stage matters more than the size of the room. Some venues also set a curfew, which affects how the sets are arranged.

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

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.
