License for Music in Revue and Dance Shows
For the public performance of music used in revues, dance shows, cabarets, sketches, and magic performances, the licensee shall pay a fee to Stim as follows:
The revue license covers standalone music and song numbers mixed with sketches and monologues, often without a clear plot in the performance. Stim’s revue license can also be used for music in student performances and magic shows, etc.
It is important to pay attention to how the music is used, as there is a limit to what Stim can grant a license for. For example, if the music is a key element in the revue, a direct license from the rights holder (publisher and/or creators) may sometimes be required. Find out if your revue is covered by a Stim license or if you need to seek permission directly from the rights holders (creator and/or publisher) .

Advance Notice
If requested by Stim, the licensee must notify Stim in advance about planned events. The notification should be submitted at least seven calendar days before the planned event and must include information about the date, location, and venue.
Visits
Stim has the right to visit events to ensure that the licensee provides accurate information about Reporting and Music Reporting. Stim must notify the licensee in advance about the visit, and the licensee is required to provide two entrance tickets at no cost.
Lease of Venue and Responsible Organizer
If a licensee rents out a venue to a third party (a so-called responsible organizer), the responsible organizer must usually obtain a license. The licensee must inform Stim that the responsible organizer has used the venue and provide the date of the lease. The licensee must also inform the responsible organizer that they may need to obtain a license from Stim. If the responsible organizer does not obtain a license when required, the licensee may be considered responsible for the music use.
The responsible organizer is primarily defined as the person with a permit under the Public Order Act or a permit for the sale of food or alcohol at the venue. Alternatively, it refers to the person whose ticket revenues are recorded in the accounting book. Independent ticket agents are not considered responsible organizers if the majority of the ticket revenue is credited to someone else. For free-entry events, the person with financial responsibility for the majority of the costs is considered the Responsible Organizer.
For additional terms, please refer to the General Terms.
