Booking A Cover Band In the North East

Everything You Need To Know

Cover Bands in the North East cost from £327 to £25365. The average price in 2025 was £1810. Prices vary depending on experience, demand, size of act, travel costs and the specs of the equipment provided. Artists travelling into the North East from further away will usually charge more than a local act due to travel time and fuel costs.

We will always do our best to help you find an artist within your budget, so please give us a call if you can't find what you're looking for.

Alive Network represents Cover Bands throughout the North East, with acts available for events in County Durham, Durham, Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear.

On the rare occasion that we don't have an artist based within your area, we will always have artists in the neighbouring regions willing to travel.

To see our most local artists, enter a search using your event date and location, then use the 'nearest me' sort option.

Aside from representing some of the best Cover Bands in the UK, one of the main reasons to hire a Cover Band with Alive Network is security. We ensure your booking is covered 24/7 against any eventuality, so that no matter what, you can enjoy your event without worrying about whether your entertainment will turn up.

If your Cover Band is ill or unable to perform, our team will be on hand to source a suitable replacement even out of office hours and at short notice.
