Reviews of Tribute Bands available in the United States

5/5 from 893 reviews

Space Antelope - Phish tribute "Space Antelope blew the doors off a 2.5 hour show for my husband’s 50th birthday at a local restaurant/music venue. We provided a “dream setlist” and they were able to deliver mostly everything if not for time constraints. Crowd of about 40-50 adults and even non-Phish fans were digging it. Great communication, no issues on day of the show, set up and breakdown went smoothly. But honestly the music is the draw here….too notch and just a fantastic band."

Steve*ELVIS*Gold "We had Steve Elvis come to make a surprise appearance at the cocktail hour during our Las Vegas wedding and he really set the tone for the party! We initially wanted a song or two and some photos, but he told us about his 30 minute wedding show and he really rocked the house. He did a great job at having me and my bride still being the center of it all, but brought the energy we wanted to get everyone on the dance floor. It's been about 3 weeks now, and our family and friends are still raving about what a great job he did and how much fun they had dancing with The King! Steve is a THE answer for your Las Vegas Elvis appearance!" Based in Las Vegas, Nevada 13th October 2026 Dan - Wedding
