5 Best Live Music & Entertainment Agencies in Dubai
If you’re looking for live music for your wedding, party, or event in Dubai, where do you start? Probably with a google search. If you type in “band in Dubai for event” into google you will have hundreds of options to choose from. But how do you know if a band you’re considering booking are professional, reliable, and actually any good?! Choosing entertainment for your event can be a minefield, and that’s where music and entertainment agencies come in.
Clients: Why work with music and entertainment agencies?
A music agent or entertainment company is a great place to start when you’re looking for live music. It may cost you a little more than working directly with a band but it will guarantee that you get high-quality entertainment (as long as you work with a reputable agency!) Plus, you’ll get a lot of talent options to choose from. Remember - when it comes to entertainment, you get what you pay for.
Singers and musicians: Why work with music and entertainment agencies?
If you’re a singer or musician looking to connect with music agencies to find gigs, it’s probably best to get on the books of as many agencies as you can. This will maximise your chances of being pitched to clients and chosen for events. Working through an agency has many benefits including increased gig opportunities and payment protection.
Best live music and entertainment agencies in Dubai
I’ve been working as a vocalist in Dubai and across the Middle East for almost 10 years, and during that time I’ve worked for the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Unfortunately, no matter what industry or city you are in - there will always be scammers. Before you work with or sign up to an agency, check out what people are saying about them. Do they have google or social media reviews so you can verify they are reputable? Does their website look legit? What kind of clients do they work with? Do they pay their musicians on time?
Here are some of the best music and entertainment agencies in Dubai that I’ve enjoyed working with over the years:
