Cover BandsEveryone has heard the term covers band, and basically, it is a band that plays live music covers of the popular chart, pop, and rock songs. These bands are also known as party bands, wedding bands, and function bands and would typically be a three to five-piece band but can be more. A standard covers band would consist of a lead singer/rhythm guitarist, lead guitarist, drummer, and bass guitar.

What style of cover bands are there?
We have your indie-rock cover bands performing the likes of the Killers, Oasis, etc, and Soul & Funk bands performing all the classics, plus Mumford style folk bands and your classic function band with a mixed set-list of different genres.
Equipment
A professional covers band or party band will come self-contained with sound equipment and additional lighting for the performance area if required. Also, they would include a DJ option for a wedding in between their sets.
How long to set up and play for?
The band would normally take between 60-90 minutes to set up and do their soundcheck. If you are having a wedding reception, for example, the band would arrive between 5-6 pm to unload and set up their equipment ready for a 7.30 pm start. The normal set lengths are 2 x 60 minutes with a 20-minute break, but 3 x 40 minutes is another option.
How much space do they need?
A general guide for a 3-piece band is a space of 3m x 3m. This will increase by an additional meter for every additional band member. So for example a 4-piece band would need 4m x 3m and so on.
Do I need to provide anything?
If you are looking to hire a covers band for your wedding it is likely to be a long day for them, so a supply of soft drinks and a buffet-style meal would be very much appreciated. Also, you would need to check they can park as close to the venue as possible to unload their equipment.
