The fire sax act is a saxophonist who performs with fire as part of the show. It is not background music. It is one strong moment that guests film and talk about afterwards. Watch the video on this page to see how it looks.
When a fire sax act works
Stage entrances. Open the show or bring on the guest of honour.
Product launches and reveals. A short burst of music and fire as the product appears.
The peak of a party. Bring it in when the dance floor is full, often over the DJ's music. See DJ and sax.
Outdoor and beach events. Open spaces at night show the fire at its best.
Check with your venue first
Every venue in Dubai sets its own rules on fire and open flames. Before you book, ask your venue:
- Is fire allowed, and where?
- Is it allowed indoors, or only outside?
- Do they need anything from the performer before the event?
Share the answers with the team. They will tell you what is possible and plan the act around it.
How to plan the moment
Pick one moment. The act works best as a single highlight, not spread across the night. Choose the entrance, the reveal or the peak of the party.
Give it space. Plan a clear area around the performer, away from guests, decorations and anything that can catch fire. Your venue will tell you how much space it needs.
Time it with the music. If you have a DJ or a host, agree the cue so the music, lights and fire start together.
Tell your photographer. The act lasts a short time. Make sure the photographer and videographer know when it starts.
Combine it with a regular sax set
The fire act is short, so it pairs well with something else. A regular saxophonist can play during drinks and dinner, then the fire act takes one big moment. See saxophonists for events for the rest of the evening.
How to book
Send the date, the venue, the moment you want the act for, and whether fire is allowed there. The team replies with options and a price. Read what affects the price to plan the budget.
