The private and corporate events market in Ukraine is gradually reviving, and with it, figures that once remained behind closed negotiation doors are entering the public domain. Ukrainian artists and their representatives have recently been increasingly naming specific sums for corporate performances and New Year's events. According to the entertainment project Styler (RBC-Ukraine) and the 1+1 TV channel, fees vary from 15,000 euros for group acts to hundreds of thousands of dollars for top showmen, although most performers do not have a fixed price list.
Verka Serduchka: from $30,000 to $100,000
Producer Yuriy Nikitin explained in an interview with Vasyl Tymoshenko that Verka Serduchka, like any other major artist, does not have a single fixed performance cost. "No artist has a fixed sum. It depends on where you work. It depends on who you work for," he noted. According to him, the cost range for a private performance by Serduchka is between $30,000 and $100,000. Nikitin emphasized that the artist performs with the full ensemble, and the concert organization includes a full-fledged stage program, which determines the upper limit of the bill.
MONATIK revealed his rate
Singer Dmytro Monatik (MONATIK) personally announced his corporate performance fee on the FEDORIV VLOG. According to him, the standard cost of such a concert is 30,000 euros, however, the final amount can be adjusted depending on the agreements with the client: "A corporate event costs 30,000 euros, but as a rule, it is possible to negotiate less." Monatik also disclosed his team's workflow: there is an agency fee of 10%, which, according to him, motivates the representatives handling the booking of performances.
Klavdia Petrivna and "Kurgan & Agregat": confirmed sums
The cost of a private performance by the singer Klavdia Petrivna was confirmed by the artist's representatives in response to an inquiry from journalists of the "Snidanok z 1+1" program: the manager named the sum of 25,000 euros for a New Year's corporate performance. Similarly, 1+1 journalists verified the fee for the group "Kurgan & Agregat" — according to the TV channel, the group's performance fee for a New Year's corporate event was 15,000 euros. In both cases, organizers must separately account for technical requirements and the artists' riders.
What really goes into an event budget
It is important to understand that the disclosed sums do not always reflect the full budget of a private event. In addition to paying for the performance itself, organizers usually need extra funds for transportation, accommodation, stage equipment, and fulfilling the technical rider. The final cost also depends on the venue, date, length of the program, and individual agreements with the performer. Thus, the named fees are the base price for the performance, not the final check for organizing the concert.
Market context: transparency and event industry revival
The publication of specific sums fits into a broader trend towards transparency of fees: including music critic Sergey Sosedov, who in a conversation with "Gazeta.Ru" supported the idea of disclosing stars' incomes, stating that the audience should know how much idols receive. At the same time, as market participants note, for example showman Vadym Mychkovsky (Uncle Zhora) in an interview with Blick.ua, prices depend heavily on the performer's popularity: fees for beginner artists start from about $3,000, for the "second tier" — about $10,000 and above, and for the most sought-after stars — from $20,000; a standard performance at a private event usually lasts about 45 minutes. After the start of the full-scale war, the events sector practically froze, but thanks to charity events, it began to revive. The XAB.info editorial team notes that the cited fees were disclosed at different times and reflect specific public statements by artists, producers, and their representatives, rather than a single current price list for all corporate performances in 2026.
