Duelling Pianos

Book Duelling Pianos Entertainment for Your Event

Duelling Pianos is one of the most engaging and interactive forms of live entertainment available. Performed by two piano entertainers, the show blends live music, personality and audience participation into a shared experience that works just as powerfully in piano bars, events and concert settings. The piano transcends age, background and musical taste — everyone knows the songs, and everyone wants to join in.

At the heart of a Duelling Pianos show is audience-led performance. Guests are invited to make song requests, sing along and shape the direction of the music as it unfolds. The two entertainers perform face-to-face, feeding off each other and the room, building momentum and guiding the atmosphere from the first song to the final sing-along — turning the crowd into an active part of the show and bringing the entire event to life.

Energy & Interaction

Despite the name, Duelling Pianos is not about competition — it’s about collaboration, energy, and interaction. Two highly skilled piano entertainers perform face-to-face, taking turns to lead songs, play off one another, and build momentum throughout the performance.
