Photo of Anna Mat Anna Mat "We really enjoyed the wonderful variety of music performed by Anna! She played pop, jazz, rock, and classical music with such ease and a big smile on her face. Her backing tracks and sound setup worked perfectly, and she created such a fun and lively atmosphere for everyone. We all had a fantastic time and can't wait to see her perform again!"

Go see them you won't regret it. Tell your friends, I have!" Based in Temecula, California (54 miles from San Diego) Nancy Spradling (Facebook fan review) Photo of Can I Be Frank Sinatra Tribute Can I Be Frank Sinatra Tribute "10/10! Amazing performance, wonderful people. Mike and his wife Kathy were an absolute dream to have perform at my wedding- Mike performed for an hour during dinner to all the classic rat pack songs. Mike’s Frank performance was outstanding- most guests thought it was a recording of Frank Sinatra until they heard our names placed in the song to personalize it. Mike walked from table to table and was truly such a hit at the wedding. He also sang both our first dance song and our parent dance song- and was totally willing to shorten it to the perfect length. I would HIGHLY recommend hiring them- they were truly such a joy to have at our wedding." Based in Murrieta, California (58 miles from San Diego) Sarah Bartlett - Can I Be Frank?

We estimated the crowd at between 3,800–4,000 attendees—our biggest turnout of the year so far—and the energy was incredible. They delivered an engaging and high-quality show that clearly resonated with the audience. We’ll definitely be keeping them in mind for future years of our Concert Series.”

Frequently asked questions

Hiring tribute bands typically costs between $200 and $3,950+, with an average of $1,350. Pricing depends on the number of performers, show duration and the production elements included. Tribute bands cover a wide range of artists and eras, so the scale and complexity of the show is the main factor in cost.

The tribute bands for hire cover tributes to a huge range of artists and bands spanning every genre and era, from classic rock legends to current pop stars. Gig Heaven has tribute acts for hundreds of different artists, so browsing the category is the best way to find the right act.

Many clients book tribute bands for themed parties, corporate events, birthday celebrations, weddings, festivals and pub or club nights. A tribute band delivers the experience of seeing a well-known artist live, making them a crowd-pleasing and memorable entertainment choice.

The best tribute bands invest heavily in recreating the sound, look and stage presence of the original artist, including costumes, instruments and vocal accuracy. It is advisable to watch videos on each tribute act's profile to judge the quality and authenticity of their performance.

Most tribute bands are self-contained and provide their own PA system, instruments, costumes and staging. For larger venues or outdoor events, additional equipment may be required. Gig Heaven recommends confirming technical requirements before booking.

Many tribute acts build a main set around the artist they cover and add a second set of wider hits from the same era or genre. Others stay with the original artist throughout. Asking what a full evening looks like is the quickest way to know whether one act can cover the whole night.

Costume is central to most tribute shows, and many acts change outfits between sets to follow the artist's career. A smaller number perform in plain stage dress and focus on the music. Photographs and video on each act's profile show which approach they take.

Tribute shows tend to work well across age groups because the material is already familiar to most of the room. Acts covering artists with a long career usually have the widest span of recognisable songs. Set lists can normally be adjusted if the audience skews older or younger.
