40 of the 87 speakers here say how far they will go. 33 cover 200 km or more, some anywhere in the state or the country. 0 go somewhere between 50 and 200 km, and 7 stay within 50 km. For a venue out of town, name it in your enquiry: travel and a night's accommodation usually go on the quote.

Before you book
Speakers in Melbourne: common questions
What should I budget for a speaker in Melbourne?
Half of the 17 speakers here that list a guide price sit between $500 and $1,500, and the figure in the middle is $750. Treat that as a starting point, not a quote. Your date, the hours you need and the size of the line-up move it, so ask each act to price your actual night.
Can I see a speaker perform before I book?
Yes, for 45 of them. Their pages have a performance video you can play, which tells you more about how they sound and look in a room than any description can.
Will a Melbourne speaker travel to a regional venue?
Many will. 40 of the speakers listed here say how far they go, and 33 of those cover 200 km or more. Mention the venue when you enquire, because travel and accommodation usually get added to the quote.
What happens once I send an enquiry?
Each act you picked replies with a written quote for your date. Put them side by side, check what each one includes, then decide. Enquiring costs nothing and you are not committed to anyone.
