Hire a cover band for a night people won't forget
Nothing lifts a room like live music. Compare cover bands, see guide prices and arrange your booking directly with the band — no commission.
A cover band turns a party into an event: real instruments, real energy and a set list the whole room can sing along to. Prices depend mainly on the size of the line-up. An acoustic duo starts from around €500, while a full four- or five-piece band with its own sound engineer typically charges €1,500 to €3,000 for a wedding or company party.
All prices below are indicative from-prices in euros. On EntertainerShow you contact bands directly, compare quotes side by side and agree everything with the band itself — no agency fees, no commission, no surprises on the invoice.

How long does a cover band play?
The most common format is two sets of 45 minutes to an hour, spread across the evening. Many bands offer extra sets or a longer finish for an additional fee.
Does the band bring its own sound and lighting?
Most professional bands bring a full PA and stage lighting suitable for typical venues. For large rooms or outdoor stages, extra production may be needed — always check.
Can the band learn a special song for us?
Many bands will learn one or two personal requests — a first-dance song, for example — if you ask well in advance. Agree this directly with the band when booking.
How do payment and deposits work?
You agree the fee, deposit and payment terms directly with the band. EntertainerShow takes no commission, so every euro goes to the musicians.
