Soon it's time, you're turning 40 years old. If that's not a special reason to celebrate! We've collected 5 ideas so your 40th birthday will be a success . A very special highlight is a birthday with live music at a party location or at your home. Let our top 5 ideas inspire you on how to properly celebrate your 40th birthday ! All ideas can be combined very well with a live act that ensures the best atmosphere at your birthday party .


1. Fun Location with Live Act

The right location is usually half the battle and also includes many activities that enhance the fun factor of your party. How about, for example, celebrating your birthday in a bowling alley or renting a section in your favorite pub ? Think outside the box and consider which places you like to be to have fun.

As the highlight of the evening, you can invite a band or singers who will really heat up your guests and create the right atmosphere. The band should of course 100% match your taste - after all, you only turn 40 once! In our artist pool you'll find musicians for every taste - should it be something more jazzy for dinner at the restaurant or rather rocky/poppy, so you can't help but dance in the bar? Feel free to browse yourself and get an impression.

2. Theme Party with Live Music

Theme parties aren't just for children's birthdays. Especially in adulthood they seem totally refreshing and liberating in their uniqueness. How about, for example, a 50s party with lots of polka dots and petticoats? Or a 60s hippie party? Or maybe even a masquerade ball?

As the highlight of your theme party a live band works excellently. Our artists adapt to any theme and can perfectly set you and your guests in the mood for the respective theme with the right music. These three artists, for example, provide rocking party atmosphere and danceable music :


3. Mini-Festival in Your Own Garden or Living Room


You want an evening-filling music program and want to turn your 40th birthday into a mini-festival ? No problem, because our entertainers are very low-maintenance. A private festival can be implemented with similarly little effort as a living room concert . The only thing necessary is sufficient space. For real festival atmosphere an outdoor location is naturally ideal. Maybe you have a garden, a roof terrace or a courtyard with some space? Alternatively, you can use a parking lot or rent a location. Our music tips for your birthday festival :

Organizing the musicians for your mini-festival is very simple: First search using the filter function of our platform for artists that you particularly like. For the line-up we recommend a good mix of singer/songwriters, duos and bands, to create a kind of progression. When you've found what you're looking for, you can make a completely non-binding inquiry to the music acts. Clarify details like budget, lineup and exact schedule with them and click "Book bindingly". Then you'll be guided simply and straightforwardly through the booking system. You do this with all artists who should play at your mini-festival and voilà: the program is set!


4. A Mystery Dinner Awakens Acting Talents

You're a real game fan and as a child you were always at the front with "Murder in the Dark" and similar games? Turn your 40th birthday into a big playground and organize a mystery dinner with all the trimmings. To make the whole thing as lively as possible, ask your guests to dress up beforehand. With the right costume the whole thing is twice as much fun and you can immerse yourselves much more in the game. Such an event stays in your head, is a nice break from everyday life and it definitely won't be boring.

A mystery dinner can also be excellently combined with live music. After your heads have been smoking and you've solved the murder case together, music lightens the mood and depending on the band can provide a relaxed or rocking conclusion to your birthday celebration . If you want, you can even involve the band in the acting: Coordinate beforehand and tell the band what exactly it's about and how they can further emphasize the puzzle atmosphere with music. Surely the musicians also have some ideas to help you immerse even more in the murder case with the help of live music.


5. Barbecue Party with Live Music in the Garden

Grilling always works! You have a beautiful garden or roof terrace ? Perfect! How about a barbecue party? Invite all your loved ones and ask them to bring something to eat. This creates a varied buffet and everyone can help themselves. Surely someone will also be found who's willing to take on the role of grill master!

For that special something you can book a musician or band to which you can enjoy the delicious food and groove along! These artists are perfect for a barbecue party in your garden with their relaxed summer sound :
