Cover Star do not need acres of space, however, these guys have played the biggest venues in the country so the bigger the stage, the better the show. We recommend at least a 5m x 4m performance area for the 5 piece line-up, but the guys can work to smaller areas if they need to. PLEASE REMEMBER... Cover Star are a very visual group of entertainers and perform to the best of their ability if they have adequate stage or space. These guys don’t stand still!

As standard the band performs 2 x 60 or 3 x 40 minute sets of music. However, for an additional cost this can be augmented to suit your event.

Do Cover Star have any other requirements?
In order to perform at their best the band require soft drinks, and a selection of sandwiches or a hot meal for 5 people at least an hour before they are due to play on stage. Cover Star will also require plenty of bottled water. The band will also need a room to prepare for the performance and adequate parking.
