Still Looking to Hire Your Favourite Band for a Party? Here’s How Much It Will Cost
A couple of weeks ago, a list of live performances fees for various artists made the rounds and was soon pilloried for not being accurate. Business Insider has taken up the challenge of publishing a more correct version of this price list. Let’s start at the top, shall we?
$1,000,000 to $1,499,999
- Aerosmith
- Andrea Bocelli
- Arcade Fire
- Billy Joel
- Blake Shelton
- Bruno Mars
- Elton John
- Englebert Humperdinck
- Jay Z
- Miley Cyrus
- Nickelback
- Pink
- Ricky Martin
- Rod Stewart
- Rolling Stonees
- Shakira
- Black Keys
- Usher
- Van Morrisson
If you’re a little short this week, Adele would consider your gig for around a million. Bob Seger would do it for less than $750,000. It even says that the Foo Fighters will show for less than $350,000–which I find EXTREMELY hard to believe.
Still too rich? Well, for under $30,000, you could get Dee Snider of Twisted Sister. And if that’s still too much, Urge Overkill will play your party for under $20K.
