Music and repertoire
What kind of music does Uptown Coverband play?
Uptown Coverband plays recognizable, danceable music from the 70s to the present, featuring disco, soul, pop, dance, rock, Dutch-language hits, unique medleys, and current songs. The repertoire is tailored to the type of party, the audience, and the desired atmosphere.
Can we pass on song requests?
Yes, song requests are possible in consultation. For weddings, for example, an opening dance or special moment can be coordinated in advance. We always check if the song fits the lineup, schedule, and atmosphere of the performance.
Do you also play quiet music during dinner or drinks?
Yes, in addition to energetic party sets, we can also provide music for drinks, a reception, or dinner. We tailor the program to the occasion: relaxed and atmospheric when needed, and festive as soon as the dance floor opens.
How many sets do you play?
By default, we play 3 sets of 45 minutes. Would you prefer 2 sets of 60 minutes or a customized setup? We will coordinate that with your schedule.
Weddings
Can you play during the ceremony?

Can you play our first dance?
Yes, an opening dance is possible upon consultation. Sometimes we play the song live, sometimes a combination with a DJ or a pre-recorded version is more practical. We discuss in advance what fits best musically and technically.

Are you suitable for company parties and business events?
Yes, Uptown Coverband regularly plays at company parties, staff parties, anniversaries, networking events, conferences, and business events. We tailor the volume, sound system, timing, and repertoire to the program and the audience.
Can you take speeches, awards, or program items into account?
Yes, we coordinate the schedule with the organization, venue, or event manager in advance. This ensures that live sets, breaks, speeches, awards, dinner, and DJ moments flow seamlessly into one another.
Technology and planning
Are you bringing your own lighting and sound?
Yes, Uptown Coverband provides professional lighting and sound as standard for parties of up to approximately 200 guests. For larger venues, outdoor locations, or special technical requests, the equipment can be expanded.
How long in advance will you be arriving?
We arrive 2 hours before the start as standard to set up, soundcheck, and calmly coordinate everything with the venue, master of ceremonies, or event manager. Other times are possible at an additional cost.
How much space do you need?
For an ideal setup and a great presentation, you should count on 4 by 3 meters for the standard formation and 5 by 4 meters for a larger lineup. Because we work largely wirelessly and without monitor speakers on stage, smaller areas are often possible as well—provided we know this in advance and can discuss it.
Can you play outside?
Playing outdoors is possible if the location is technically and practically suitable. There must be sufficient power, and the band, instruments, and equipment must be protected from rain, wind, cold, direct sunlight, and moisture. We will discuss this with you and the venue in advance.
Costs and options
How much does Uptown Coverband cost?
The price depends on the date, location, playing time, lineup, technical equipment, and any additions such as a DJ, saxophonist, extra musicians, or additional lighting and sound. After your request, you will receive a personal price estimate and brochure.
Can you also be booked with a DJ or saxophonist?
Yes, both. The music continues before, between, and after the sets regardless — our own playlists take care of that. With the Uptown DJ, the energy remains high during those moments as well: more genres and room for requests. A saxophonist plays along with the band and adds live solos, dynamics, and interaction during drinks, dinner, or the evening party.
Can you book smaller or larger sizes?
Yes, Uptown Coverband works with various formations. Depending on the party, the location, and the budget, we can help determine a suitable lineup and potential additions.
Changes and force majeure
What happens in the event of illness or force majeure?
Should the band be unexpectedly unable to perform due to force majeure, we will immediately look for a suitable replacement within our professional network.
What do you need from us?
For a definitive booking, we would like to receive the location details, contact persons, and schedule. We can also liaise directly with the party venue to ensure everything is properly arranged in advance.
