What is a tribute act?

A tribute act is a professional singer who performs the songs of a famous artist, often with a similar look and sound. It is a guaranteed singalong.

A tribute is always presented as a tribute. It is never the real artist, and we make that clear in every listing and quote.

A surprise for the evening guests.

A singalong headline act.
