Such events include events with live music performed by musicians or singers, events with music for dancing or as accompaniment for shows and performances (dancers, artists, etc.), karaoke events or DJ performances.

The licence fee is based on the admission price plus the price of the cheapest alcoholic beverage and the number of guests.
