Pricing
What a band costs.
Band pricing is quoted per event. Most events booked through Bands Wanted NOW fall between $1,500 and $35,000+, depending on the size of the band, the length of the performance, travel, and production.
Typical budget range
$1,500 – $35,000+
A solo act or acoustic duo for a restaurant or small private party sits at the low end. A full variety, party, or tribute band with production for a corporate event, festival, or large private event sits at the high end. Most mid-size events land in the middle of that range.
Pricing summary
- Solo and duo acts: lower budgets, ideal for restaurants, bars, cocktail hours, and small parties.
- Trios to five-piece bands: the most common choice for private parties, weddings, and corporate events.
- Six-piece to large show bands: horns, multiple vocalists, and full production for larger audiences.
- Tribute and touring-level acts: priced by demand, routing, and production requirements.
