Frequently asked questions

Pricing for rock bands ranges from R2,750 to R60,000+, with an average of R15,000. Rates depend on the number of band members, performance duration and whether the band supplies its own sound and lighting. Rock bands vary from power trios to larger outfits, and the size and production level of the act is the biggest cost factor.

The rock bands for hire cover a broad range of rock music including classic rock, indie rock, alternative, pop rock, hard rock, blues rock and modern rock. Many bands have extensive setlists spanning several decades of rock hits.

Typical bookings for rock bands include weddings, birthday parties, corporate events, festivals, pub and bar gigs and any event where live, guitar-driven music is the focus. Many rock bands can adjust their volume and setlist to suit both intimate venues and larger stages.

Standard performance times for rock bands are two to three hours, typically split into sets with breaks. Rock performances tend to be louder and more energetic than other genres, so it is worth confirming volume levels and any venue restrictions when making an enquiry. Set formats can usually be adjusted to suit the event.

Most rock bands are experienced at adjusting their volume to suit different settings. Many carry equipment that allows them to control sound levels without losing energy. It is a good idea to discuss any venue noise restrictions with the band before booking.

Most rock bands are self-contained and provide their own instruments, amplifiers and PA system. For larger stages or outdoor events, additional sound equipment may be needed. It is advisable to confirm all technical details before booking.

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.
