Before you book
Tribute bands in Melbourne: common questions
What should I budget for a tribute band in Melbourne?
Half of the 13 tribute bands here that list a guide price sit between $2,200 and $4,000, and the figure in the middle is $3,000. 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 tribute band perform before I book?
Yes, for 68 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 tribute band travel to a regional venue?
Many will. 20 of the tribute bands listed here say how far they go, and 17 of those cover 200 km or more. Mention the venue when you enquire, because travel and accommodation usually get added to the quote.
How big should the line-up be?
In Melbourne the most common size is 5 people. Go smaller for a ceremony, dinner or a tight room, and bigger when the goal is a full dance floor in a large venue.
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.
