Your birthday is just around the corner and you want to really celebrate it with family and friends again? Besides a cozy location, delicious food and creative decorations, music is without question decisive for a good atmosphere and entertainment at your party. Live music for the birthday is an absolute highlight here! But what does the fun cost?
We have compared the prices for bands and solo musicians and reveal what costs to expect for a birthday band. Which factors influence the price, and how can you save? Here is what to expect - the fee expectations of individual artists are listed on their profiles.
For a birthday concert with a solo musician you can budget a price between 350 € and 500 €. Many solo songwriters can play a calm or more lively program on request.
Also important: should it be a listening house concert with music at the center, or would you like music as entertainment that runs more in the background?

As a rule of thumb: the more band members, the more different instruments, the more varied and lively the concert.

To keep the costs as low as possible, keep the following levers in mind for your non-binding inquiry:
1. Choose musicians from your own city
2. Choose a solo artist or a small lineup
3. Go for lesser-known musicians
4. Inquire early & book with enough lead time
Also good to know: asking costs nothing! The stated fees are always the negotiation basis and you can always ask for some flexibility.
Of course! Sofa concerts are shared experiences - especially for a birthday! Ask your guests for a contribution to the fee as a birthday gift. You will see, your family and friends will happily contribute with a "donation" instead of gifts to your celebration with live music.
A sofa concert is also a great gift idea - as a voucher or surprise concert. As a group of friends, you can give the birthday person a great evening that you will remember for a long time.
