Which is the best and most famous Oktoberfest band?

Which is the best and most famous Oktoberfest band? That's impossible to answer because there are too many bands. But 3 bands are very well known and popular.

Kirchdorfer
The band Kirchdorfer was founded in 1870. Today the band usually plays with 21 musicians. The programme consists of the typical mixture of brass band music, Bavarian music and party music. However, the Kirchdorfer band can only perform before or after the Munich Oktoberfest because it has played in a large tent at the Oktoberfest in Munich every year since 1994.
Kapelle Josef Menzl
The brass band Kapelle Josef Menzl became famous throughout Germany because they were only allowed to play during the day, but no longer in the evening at the Munich Oktoberfest. The host of the tent thought the band didn't create enough atmosphere. All the other bands complained about it, even the band that played in the tent in the evening instead. Videos of the brass band were spread among musicians.
Bergvagabunden

The band Bergvagabunden specialises in international customers and plays not only in Germany but also a lot in other European countries, especially in France and the United Kingdom. The singer of Bergvagabunden sings in many different languages and speaks fluent English and French. The video "Sunny Yodel" has been viewed over 100,000 times on YouTube.

Not only in Germany

These 3 bands are among the best, most famous, most popular and best-known bands for an Oktoberfest. You can book Kirchdorfer, Kapelle Josef Menzl and Bergvagabunden not only in Munich and Germany, but all over the world. From Singapore, Japan and China to Dubai, the UK and the USA: these 3 bands bring German tradition and cheerfulness to every country.

What you need to look out for in a band for an Oktoberfest

Before you decide on a band for your Oktoberfest-themed event, check whether the band fulfils these criteria:

Authenticity
A Bavarian band is authentic if it plays the accordion. The sound of the accordion is associated with Bavaria and Germany all over the world. Therefore do not book a live band without accordion. The same applies to the bass: your band should play the bass with a wind instrument such as a tuba, a baritone (euphonium) or a bass trombone. The characteristic "oompah oompah" (hence the name oompah band) is just as important as the sound of the accordion.
Variety
People all over the world know and love the sound of traditional German folk music. What people outside Germany do not know are the melodies and lyrics of the typical songs. So that guests can celebrate, dance and sing along at your event, your band should play internationally known and popular songs as well as Bavarian music.
Flexibility
Every event is different: sometimes you have a large stage for a lot of musicians, sometimes only a very small area for a maximum of 2 musicians. It may even be that only very few guests are present and it is better if the musicians play and sing without a sound system. A professional band must be able to respond flexibly to your needs.
