Looking for an Oktoberfest music playlist? Hopefully you’re also planning on booking some authentic German music and entertainment too. If you don’t play traditional German and polka songs during the celebration, you might as well skip the beer and brats.

It isn't an Oktoberfest party without authentic Oktoberfest music. The problem is unless you are an accordion player or polka expert, how do you know what to listen to? Don't stress, schnitzel-lovers. The Bash has dozens of German and polka bands as well as solo musicians and other groups that can provide the perfect soundtrack for your Oktoberfest party.

Tips for booking a German Band or DJ to play Oktoberfest music:

On The Bash, you can search through a list of top-rated, bookable German bands and DJs in your local area. While browsing, be sure to review vendor profiles and check out their photos and videos.
When preparing a request for one of our German bands or DJs, keep in mind that the more details you can provide, the more accurate the price quote you'll receive. If you receive a price quote that seems like it needs clarification, don't hesitate to reach out to the vendor directly to find out more.
Make sure you have discussed what supplies the vendor will need for their performance. You'll want to know what they can provide, and what you'll need to have on hand at your event.
Communicate your expectations and special requests to any prospective bands or DJs, and make sure to ask about their repertoire — especially if you have a particular song that you would like them to perform or play.
If you're planning an outdoor event, be sure to discuss where the vendor will be situated for the best acoustics and conditions for them to perform.
Discuss what kind of atmosphere and mood you are hoping to set for your event. The more they know, the better they'll meet your expectations.
