Theme: live music, tips & tricks
Create a city party atmosphere with live music
When organising a city party, festival or other type of public event, music is often the great mood creator that ties the whole experience together. At Limunt, we have many years of experience as a supplier of music for public events, and we know how important it is to find the right musical expression to suit the time, place and audience. We provide music for everything from city parties, markets and festivals around the country - and our goal is always the same: to enhance the event with professional and engaging live music.
Experienced musicians for public events
At Limunt, we know how important it is to be able to rely on both artists and technicians when planning a large outdoor event. At Limunt, we only work with experienced musicians and DJs who have tried their hand at everything from local town festivals to larger music festival stages. We handle the entire process from booking to execution, so you as the organiser can focus on the other elements of your event. Whether you need party band, jazz band or DJwe have a strong network of artists and musicians who deliver the goods - every time.
Music customised to your event and audience
A public event typically gathers a wide range of guests - children, young people, adults and the elderly. Therefore, it is crucial that the music appeals to everyone present. Limunt offers a versatile music selection so we can put together a music programme that matches both the time of day and the expected audience composition. We are happy to help you plan a common thread in the music programme - for example, with atmospheric jazz earlier in the day and a festive party band in the evening.
Music programme adapted to the course of the day
A successful event requires more than just good music - it's also about timing. We can help coordinate the music to fit in with the rest of the day's programme. For example, you could start with calm music, followed by a child-friendly programme and then round off the day with a bigger band. Our team is ready to advise and structure the programme so that music becomes a natural and atmospheric element throughout the day.
Sound equipment and stage for outdoor events
We know how important it is to get the tech right - especially for large outdoor events. That's why we offer a complete technical solution with sound equipment, stage elements and technical staff. We have experience with everything from small mobile setups to larger stages and PA systems, and we make sure that everything is tested and set up well in advance of the event. With Limunt as your partner, you get a supplier who is in control of both the musical and the practical aspects.

The most frequently asked questions for us!
The name Limunt originated as a contraction of the words Tove Music Entertainment. We have booked music since 2016 through the concepts Jazzkollektivet, Popkollektivet, Strygerkollektivet etc., but decided in 2022 to bring the activity under Limunt and create a better coherence and clarity of our many different offers.
We handpick our musicians from the great Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and German talent pool. In the administration, we all have a background as professional musicians in a wide range of genres. Through our large network, the Danish conservatories, jam sessions throughout the country and by constantly keeping a finger on the pulse of the Danish music scene, we can ensure a high level every time. We make a virtue of onboarding each individual musician so that expectations are aligned from the start. The musicians should do what they do best: play great music - then Limunt handles all the administration around each performance.
Payment will fall after your event. You will receive an invoice from our administration.
In most cases, it is possible to extend the playing time if you do not want the music to stop at the agreed time. However, as we only book professional musicians, there may be circumstances where this is not possible, for example if the musicians have another job later in the day, have an early job the next day or a voice that can't cope any longer. If you want to make sure you have the option to book an extra set of music on the day, we recommend that you arrange this with your Limunt contact so that both you and the musicians are aware of the option.
The prices we quote are in most cases inclusive of transport (to land bridges), VAT and engineering (up to 100 people).
We customise each specific offer - booking everything from a single solo musician playing a single song to live music over several days for larger events. Try our price calculator or contact us for a no-obligation quote.
We provide substitutes in case of illness, so you don't lose the music for your event. We have built up good procedures with our many musicians and have an action plan in case of illness. Our large catalogue of musicians means that in almost all cases we can find a talented replacement in a very short time.
It's hard to give a clear answer, as we book solo musicians, traditional party bands and full orchestras of 9-10 people. A traditional band of 3-5 people should have at least 3×4 meters to stand on. A solo musician can manage on 3×2 meters. However, there are many factors that come into play when it comes to space - so it's best to have a chat with your Limunt contact. A concrete example where the above rule does not quite apply is when booking a party band: here we at Limunt always recommend placing the music in the same room as the bar, as this way you gather the activity and the party in one place - and get more people on the dance floor! If there are not quite 3×4 meters to stand on, we still recommend placing the band at the bar, even if the musicians need to sit a little close, to ensure the good party!
Typically in sets of either 2 x 45 minutes or 3 x 45 minutes. But it all depends on the function of the music: whether it's background music, a beautiful feature or party music to get the party started. We provide everything from a single heartfelt song for the wedding to music for 10 hours during a larger event.
You are always welcome to make suggestions for the repertoire - that way we get to know your taste and try to include everything possible. However, we cannot guarantee to fulfil all your wishes. We are often in dialogue with customers who are very unsure about the repertoire - and we are here to help. By booking more than 500 jobs annually, we know what works for different events. Our professional musicians are also good at reading the audience on the day, which means that changes can be made to the setlist during the performance.
When booking an event with 1-3 songs for e.g. a wedding, we take a dialogue about what is possible - and in most cases we can meet your wishes.
The jazz concept Jazzkollektivet was what started it all in 2016. Then followed Popkollektivet, Strygerkollektivet etc. In 2022 we decided to bring all our concepts and booking together on this new site!
