Practical matters: equipment, set length and set-up

Agree in advance whether the band brings its own backline and sound system, or whether you're working with a sound company. Set length (e.g. 2x45 or 3x45) and changeover time are also important for your planning. You can mention this in your request straight away, so you'll quickly get the right information.

Alternatives: tribute or party band

Want a very specific sound or theme? Then also take a look at tribute bands for festivals or party bands for festivals.

A cover band plays a broad mix of well-known songs from different genres and decades, so there's something for every crowd. A festival act is judged on a high-energy, recognisable repertoire with plenty of medleys, few breaks and strong interaction with the crowd.

Agree in advance whether the band brings its own backline and sound or works with a sound company, and take set length (for example 2x45 or 3x45 minutes) and changeover time into account.

Bandzoeker currently has 112 acts in the cover band category that are suitable for festivals; the filters for genre, line-up and budget make it easy to compare your options.

For a cover band, most quotes fall between €800 and €4,500; the line-up, travel distance and playing time determine where you end up within that range. Prices for festivals are much the same as for comparable bookings.

You could also take a look at tribute bands or party bands for festivals, or use the filters to switch between genres, line-ups and budgets. Still undecided? Jan Poppema and Merijn Middelweerd are happy to give you personal, no-obligation advice.
