Meat Loaf songs are rock opera: long, dramatic and made for shouting along. A Meat Loaf tribute suits a crowd that wants theatre and big vocals.

Space and set-up
Sound equipment comes with the act; the venue supplies the space and power. Booking with a band? Confirm stage size and access with the venue first, because a band needs more room and time to set up. Most performers need about an hour to set up and sound check before guests arrive in the room.
