How to Book a DJ for Your Event

Booking a DJ for a festival, club night, brand activation, or private event takes more than a quick message on social media. As the management agency representing artists like MONCION and LIDIJA, we walk every promoter through the same process. This guide explains each step so you know what to expect.

1. Send an Inquiry

Start by reaching out to the artist's management with the date, city, venue, capacity, expected audience, and event type. The more context you give upfront, the faster you'll receive an accurate offer. For Numu artists, send this to our contact form.

2. Receive an Offer & Fee

Once management reviews availability, you'll receive a quote covering performance fee, set length, and any travel terms. Fees vary by artist, region, day of week, and exclusivity radius.

3. Contract & Deposit

After verbal confirmation, management issues a performance contract outlining fee, payment schedule, cancellation terms, billing, and marketing rights. A deposit (typically 50%) is paid to hold the date; the balance is due before or on show day.

4. Technical & Hospitality Riders

The artist's technical rider specifies the DJ setup (CDJs, mixer, monitors, booth requirements). The hospitality rider covers travel, accommodation, ground transport, and green-room needs. Confirm with your venue that every line item can be met.

5. Promotion & Assets

Management provides approved photos, logos, and bios for your announcement. Always send artwork for approval before going public.

6. Show Day

Have a stage manager and sound engineer ready. Run a soundcheck when possible, settle the balance, and provide a tour pass for the artist and any travelling crew.
