Although less frequently requested, the following might be considered, also.
- A non-performance personal appearance.
An example would be to hire a celebrity to attend a private or corporate party as simply a (non-performing) guest to mingle with other guests, or to hire the celebrity to do a meet-and-greet at your party.
- A virtual performance.
A virtual performance is a live or recorded show—such as a concert, play, dance, comedy act, or other artistic presentation—that is broadcast or streamed online instead of being performed in front of a physical audience. Artists perform live from a studio, venue, or even their homes and stream the show on platforms like YouTube, Twitch, or Instagram Live. Essentially, a virtual performance brings entertainment to audiences through the internet rather than in-person venues.

Hire Incubus
Incubus is an American rock band from Calabasas, California. The band was formed in 1991 by vocalist Brandon Boyd, lead guitarist Mike Einziger, and drummer José Pasillas while enrolled in Calabasas High School and later expanded to include bassist, Alex “Dirk Lance” Katunich, and Gavin “DJ Lyfe” Koppell; both of whom were replaced by bassist Ben Kenney and DJ Kilmore, respectively.
Incubus has attained commercial success, reaching multi-platinum sales, as well as releasing several successful singles.

Vocalist Brandon Boyd and drummer Jose Pasillas went to elementary school together. In middle school, they met guitarist Mike Einziger, who spent most of his time playing guitar in his bedroom. Then, in high school, the trio became friends with bassist Alex Katunich, who was playing in a jazz band. In 1991, in the 10th grade, the four friends from Calabasas, California, decided to form a band, simply because they loved to play music – Incubus (Latin for nightmare).
In July of 1997, Incubus collaborated with DJ Greyboy to put the song “Familiar” on the Spawn Soundtrack. On this CD were a bunch of great bands – from KoRn, to Filter, to Metallica.

In September of 1997, the band headed out with 311 and Sugar Ray. They were only supposed to be on the first leg of the tour. Things went so well and the response to Incubus was so great, they were asked to stay on for the remainder of the tour. While touring the US and Europe, fans of 311 and Sugar Ray saw Incubus and were amazed.
In February of 1998, the band asked their DJ, DJ Lyfe (Gavin), to leave the band. They asked DJ Kilmore (Chris) to fill the position. After this very productive tour and DJ replacement, the band began tours with many bands – Snot, Hed(pe), System of a Down, Limp Bizkit, and others.

On October 26, 1999, Incubus released Make Yourself. Immediately after the release of Make Yourself, the band headed on tour with Primus and Buckethead. After releasing “Pardon Me” as a single and having MTV pick it up as buzzworthy and Spankin’ New Music, the band headed out on the Sno-Core Tour with System of a Down, and Mr. Bungle. During this time, “Pardon Me” was being played all over the country.
In the fall of 2000, the band went on tour with The Deftones and Taproot. The band re-released the album Fungus Amongus on November 7th, 2000, with the same artwork, and track-listing as before. During the same year Incubus began touring once more with Hundred Reasons in Europe.
At this time, the band was invited to play with the Area 1 Festival, which featured Moby, Outkast, The Roots, Paul Oakenfold, Carl Cox, and Nelly Furtado. Make Yourself was certified double-platinum, selling 2 million copies.
The band got to play their first shows in Australia and Japan, before returning to the United States to begin their headlining tour with their long-time friends from California, Hoobastank. Meanwhile, the band’s video for “Drive” was nominated for an MTV Video Music Award in the category of Best Group Video.
To begin 2002, Incubus was No. 9 with “Drive”, No. 12 with “Stellar”, No. 20 with “Wish You Were Here”, No. 75 with “Nice To Know You,” and No. 31 with the album Morning View.

On January 24, 2002, MTV’s TRL premiered the “Nice to Know You” video, and Boyd called in from Europe where the band was on tour with 311 and Hoobastank. The band was then featured on MTV’s Becoming, TRL, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and played the Late Show with David Letterman on February 14, 2002, all before heading off to play dates in Japan and Australia for the remainder of February and March.
In February and March 2008, Incubus hit the road again, starting in New Zealand and headlining the Soundwave festival in Australia alongside Offspring and Alexisonfire, and toured Asia, performing to sell-out crowds.
In April, Incubus performed at the Festival Imperial in Costa Rica, along with the bands the Smashing Pumpkins and Duran Duran, and later in Venezuela at the Poliedro de Caracas. Incubus also performed a number of shows throughout Europe this summer, including the Rock am Ring and Rock am Park Festivals in Germany, the Nova Rock Festival in Austria, Pinkpop Festival in the Netherlands, and the Download Festival in England.

Their influences include Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Alice in Chains, Ani DiFranco, Stone Temple Pilots, Primus, Fishbone, Suicidal Tendencies, Beastie Boys, Soundgarden, Rage Against the Machine, The Police, Jane’s Addiction, and Phish.

How is the fee of Incubus determined?
✅ Incubus fee determination
Incubus’s manager determines the artist’s concert fee (also known as a guarantee) by evaluating a combination of business, market, and logistical factors.
Here’s a breakdown of key elements considered:
1. Incubus’s Popularity and Demand
-
Ticket Sales History: How many tickets they’ve sold recently in the same market or similar ones.
-
Streaming & Radio Metrics: Spotify/Apple Music numbers, YouTube views, Shazam stats, radio spins.
-
Social Media Following & Engagement: Followers, reach, and how active and loyal the fan base is.
2. Market Strength
-
City or Region: Artists can command higher fees in cities where they are more popular.
-
Venue Size: Bigger venues mean more ticket sales and higher potential revenue.
-
Local Competition: Is the artist competing with other events nearby on the same date?
3. Incubus Touring Expenses
-
Band & Crew Payroll: Salaries, per diems, union rates.
-
Production Costs: Lights, sound, transportation, backline, hotel, security, etc.
-
Travel: Flights, buses, fuel, lodging. Fees are often higher for more distant or logistically complex locations.
4. Type of Event
-
Hard Ticket Show: The artist is the main draw; ticket sales drive revenue. The fee is based on expected gross revenue minus expenses.
-
Festival or Fair: Often pay higher flat fees as the event assumes ticket risk.
-
Corporate or Private Event: Typically, higher pricing due to exclusivity and often minimal promotional benefit.
5. Promoter Offer and Negotiation
-
The manager evaluates received offers and may negotiate elements to modify the fee or reduce expenses.
-
Promoters/Private Buyers typically present a formal offer sheet that includes:
-
Guarantee (flat fee): Minimum the artist gets paid.
-
Backend or Bonus: Extra earnings based on ticket sales after breakeven. (Typically, this is not applicable to private/corporate events.)
-
Expenses: Travel, accommodations, hospitality, etc.
6. Comparing Fees
-
Managers often compare fees of similar-level artists to stay competitive in pricing.
7. Incubus Routing Considerations
-
If the date fits smoothly into a larger tour routing, they might accept a lower fee.
-
If it’s a one-off or out-of-the-way show, the fee might be higher to justify the extra time and effort.
