How Many Gig's Per Year?

How many venues do you think top DJ's play in one year?

Close to 100. Maybe more if they are promoting an album that year.

Depends on the deejay, most A list deejays do 6-8 a month or more if they tour. The most that I ever heard, dunno if it is true but it is probably close to the actual number. Timo Maas claims to have played 230 gigs in 2000 and I bet he did, he was everywhere that year.

I think 150-175 is a good estimate. It appears to me that often the big names will spend about 3 weeks touring, doing an averrage of 5 shows over that time. They take a week off, then resume their tours. this adds up to about 280 per year, and I figure im over estimating, so i went with a lower guess...
