Start the party !

Based in SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, we are a fun Tribute Showband.

After scouring every rehearsal room in the country, a solid band was formed around great musicians that play predominantly cheerful/happy uplifting rock and pop music from the COUNTDOWN and MTV era. (plus a few modern surprises !)

We are not on stage just for ourselves, we are there for YOU and conscious of your audience. We understand that people demand quality that entertains and engages. It’s all about great preparation, and a genuine love for what we do.

Songs that YOU instantly recognize, and can sing along and dance to like nobody’s watching. We don’t rely on gimmicks, props, or recorded backing tracks… we connect with your audience through great song choices, energy, engagement and stage presence.

A premium band specialising in high energy music for festivals, private functions, corporate and themed events. The Countdown Band take pride in filling dance floors, causing laryngitis, not taking ourselves too seriously and accepting responsiblity for your sore feet !

Countdown your evening with the Countdown Band.
