    1 July 2026 5 min read

    Marina Bay Sands (MBS) is a premier venue in Singapore, hosting a wide range of corporate galas, product launches, and private celebrations. Choosing the right entertainment is crucial for making your event stand out.

    This guide provides a transparent look at the costs associated with booking popular entertainment types for events at MBS. We cover live bands, magicians, and cultural performers, giving you a clear picture of what to expect.

    Luxoria Entertainment specializes in providing premium acts that meet the high standards of MBS events. We ensure seamless integration with the venue's logistics and your event schedule.

    Live Bands for Gala Dinners and Product Launches

    Live bands are a popular choice for events at MBS, offering sophisticated ambiance for corporate dinners and energetic performances for product launches. A standard 4-piece band, performing for 2 x 45-minute sets, typically costs between SGD 3,500 and SGD 6,000.

    Pricing depends on the band's experience, repertoire, and the number of musicians. Larger bands, like an 8-piece ensemble with horn sections, can range from SGD 7,000 to SGD 12,000 for similar durations. Ensure the band's sound system is compatible with MBS venue specifications.

    Magicians for Mingling and Stage Shows

    Magicians add an element of wonder, perfect for pre-dinner cocktail receptions or a captivating main stage act. A close-up magician, engaging guests for 60 to 90 minutes, costs approximately SGD 1,000 to SGD 2,500.

    For a stage magician performing a 20 to 30-minute act for a larger audience, expect to pay between SGD 2,500 and SGD 5,000. These prices vary based on the magician's reputation and the complexity of their show. Consider adding a magician for your next MBS event to create memorable interactions.

    Cultural Entertainment: Lion Dance and Indian Drummers

    Cultural acts bring unique energy and tradition to events, often chosen for grand opening ceremonies or festive year-end functions. A lion dance performance, typically a 10 to 15-minute act with two lions and drummers, costs SGD 900 to SGD 1,800.

    For a more elaborate cultural showcase, such as a group of three to five Indian drummers performing for 15 to 20 minutes, prices range from SGD 1,200 to SGD 2,500. These acts are ideal for making a strong impression at the start of your event at MBS.

    Logistics and Additional Costs at MBS

    When planning entertainment at Marina Bay Sands, factor in additional logistical costs. These may include specific permits, extended setup times, and venue-specific technical requirements. Most premium venues, including MBS, will have strict guidelines for load-in and sound levels.

    Always confirm access times and power requirements with your venue contact and entertainment provider well in advance. Our team at Luxoria Entertainment handles these details, ensuring a smooth experience for all performers and event staff. We work closely with MBS venue teams for seamless execution.
