Working fewer than 90 days?

No work permit required for musicians and associated staff, ‘if they are of importance for a significant artistic event.’

The Danish Immigration Service have updated their guidance to clarify their requirements:

• The artist, musician, performer etc. must, as a rule, be the focal point or main attraction of the event, or at least be of major significance for the artistic event
• The artistic event must be a public event, i.e. it must be possible for anyone to buy a ticket or through other means gain access to the event
• The artistic event can be part of a tour or take the form of one or more single events
• The event must have a short-term character, normally with a duration of less than 14 days

An example is also provided:

A music venue has arranged a single concert with a band from a third country (a country outside the EU/EEA). The band appears on the music venue's website, where you can buy a ticket for the event as well. The band will be exempted from the requirement of a work permit in connection with the concert.
