Music licence estimator
Playing recorded music at a public event in the UK usually needs a licence. Get a rough idea of what applies to your competition.
What this usually means
- You will usually need a PPL PRS licence (TheMusicLicence) for playing recorded music in public.
- Some venues hold their own licence that covers your event. Ask the venue first.
- For a medium event of around 500 people with 8 hours of music, budget a licence cost line in your plan. [VERIFY] Indicative cost per current PPL PRS tariff
This tool is guidance, not legal advice. Tariffs change and depend on your venue and event type. Check the current terms with PPL PRS before you budget.
