If you’re hosting a wedding, party or corporate event in Dubai, a luxury function band with a killer setlist of party tunes is an absolutely must! The glitz and glamour of the city makes it not only one of the most popular wedding destinations but also the high-end party capital of the world. When searching for the perfect cover band it makes perfect sense to hire from the UK. With so few top-quality English-speaking bands available for hire in the UAE, expanding your search to UK-based bands opens up a smorgasbord of incredible talent available to hire in Dubai that will take your event to the next level.
How Much Does It Cost To Hire A UK Band In Dubai?
When paying for a band to travel internationally, the quote you receive will include their performance and is based on them staying in Dubai for two or three nights.
In addition to the quote provided you will also need to factor in the following:
- The price of flights for each band member and sound technician (if your chosen band has one), plus additional baggage costs for instruments
- Accommodation costs
- PA, lighting and drum kit hire (your venue should be able to help you source these)
- Food for the duration of the band’s stay
There are various ways of arranging flights and accommodation for your band. Contact your adviser to help establish the way that works best for you.
