On average, it will cost about $1000-$2000 to have three hours of live pop music at your event. The exact price will vary depending on your location, the size of the group you hire, how long you want them to perform, and the musicians’ skill level. For example, a solo pop singer will cost much less than a full-size pop band.
Pop music is incredibly versatile and suits a wide range of events and audiences. The upbeat energy can engage crowds at everything from weddings and corporate events to festivals and community gatherings. A pop music group would be especially fitting for a younger crowd at a tween or teen birthday party, high school dance, or prom celebration.
Most pop music performers offer sets ranging from one to four hours, with options for breaks. Consider the flow of your event and how the performer can complement it. For instance, a three-hour set with breaks works well for a wedding reception or a corporate event.
Many pop singers and bands are happy to take special requests and can even learn specific songs for your event. Be sure to discuss your preferences with the performer ahead of time to ensure they can accommodate your requests.
A professional pop group usually provides their own sound system, instruments, and basic lighting. However, it’s essential to confirm these details with the performer beforehand. If your venue requires additional equipment, you might need to rent it separately.
To secure your preferred performer, it’s best to book as early as possible, especially for popular dates like weekends and holidays. Booking three to six months in advance is a good rule of thumb.
