Here’s how to pick the right act for each milestone.

Ideas by milestone

Surprise or announced?

A surprise appearance by the birthday person's favourite artist can be the highlight of the night. Read our guide to planning a surprise party act.

Personal touches

Most tribute acts are happy to dedicate a song, lead a "Happy Birthday" singalong or invite the birthday person up (if they're game). Mention it when you enquire.

Getting the timing right

Book the tribute for after food, when guests are settled and ready for a show. Two sets with the cake in the middle works well for most parties. Finish with a DJ so the dance floor stays busy.
