Why do Bands & Performing Groups need insurance?

Making music is your forte, and to your audiences you’re a natural. But when you’re part of a band or any other performing group, you know how much hard work goes into each and every tune. From the sleepless nights trying to perfect a bridge, to living out of a suitcase for longer than most would find comfortable, the musician or performer life may or may not be exactly what you signed up for.

But when performing to an audience or in public, one thing you do sign up for is the possibility of certain mishaps, and these risks are a part of your work regardless of how perfectly you rehearse. Therefore, having adequate insurance for your performing group should be an important consideration before you start strumming.

What Insurance do Bands & Performing Groups need?
Public Liability
Get a quote
Get a quote
This includes cover for your legal liability if you’re held responsible for bodily injury and/or property damage to someone during the course of your performance or day to day activities.2 As unlikely as this may seem, think about how easy it is to become so absorbed in your music when performing.

During one of these intense moments, all it would take is for you to accidentally drop an instrument on someone, or cause damage to the stage for your world to quickly fall flat.

Some of your clients may also require you to hold Public Liability before you’re allowed to start work, and some venues may also require this.

Equipment Insurance

This includes cover for the cost to repair or replace your equipment if it’s damaged, lost or stolen. Some of the equipment which may be covered includes microphones; speakers; mixing boards, amplifiers and more.2

Your equipment is the most important part of your work – without it, there wouldn’t be much of your performance you could do. Equipment insurance has been designed to help make sure you’re not faced with the full cost of replacing your equipment and musical instruments if they’re damaged by events such as fire, or if they’re stolen from your home.
