bands for your event
On connactz, you'll find over 820 bands available for direct booking. Fees range from €700 to €3,800, averaging around €2,200. Whether you need a party band for a birthday celebration, a sophisticated ensemble for a corporate event, or a high-energy live band for a city festival, you'll find the right fit here.
A live band creates an atmosphere no DJ or playlist can replicate. The interaction between musicians and audience, the spontaneous energy on stage, and the ability to adapt the program to the mood in real time make all the difference. On connactz, you can filter bands by genre, event type, and region, then compare multiple offers side by side.
Which band fits your event?
Choosing the right band comes down to three factors: event type, desired music style, and budget. For weddings, bands with a broad repertoire — spanning dance music, pop, and classics — are most popular. Corporate events call for professional acts that can manage volume and adapt the program to the evening's flow. City festivals and concerts demand bands with stage presence and power.
339 bands on connactz list party music, 231 offer light entertainment music, and 212 specialize in dance music. This shows that most bands are versatile and can tailor their set to different occasions. When inquiring, ask specifically about the repertoire and experience with your type of event.

What influences a band's price?
The fee depends on band size, performance duration, travel distance, and technical requirements. A duo or trio for two hours sits at the lower end around €700, while a five or six-piece band with their own sound and lighting rig for a full evening can reach €3,800. The €2,200 average typically covers a three to four-piece formation for about three hours of playing time.
The fee usually includes performance time, travel costs, and the band's own instruments. PA system, stage, and lighting are often the organizer's responsibility. Clarify this early — some bands offer all-inclusive packages with technical equipment, which significantly simplifies planning.
How to find the right band on connactz
Start your search three to six months before the event. Popular bands book up quickly, especially during summer and around holidays. Through connactz, you can send inquiries to multiple bands simultaneously and compare offers transparently — price, repertoire, reviews, and availability at a glance.
Listen to demo recordings, read reviews from other organizers, and pay attention to the band's experience with your event type. A band that regularly plays weddings approaches an evening differently than a pure concert act. Discuss the schedule, song requests, and technical requirements in advance.
Versatility as a strength
Most bands on connactz aren't limited to a single genre. Many combine pop, rock, classics, and dance music into a varied program that appeals to different generations and tastes. This is especially valuable at events with mixed audiences — from the afternoon reception to the midnight dance floor, a versatile band delivers the right soundtrack throughout.
