Biggest Draw

Which DJ has the biggest drawing power in NYC? There are alot of good crowds that many djs get, however who would be the top 5 in order. Using data from previous events is probably a good way to go about figuring this out. My guess would be....

1 Tiesto - 07 Two back to back sold out concerts at Hammerstein and in 08 3 straight sold out nights at Webster Hall

2 PVD - The king of outdoor events in NYC, the Roseland Ballroom is also his home during the fall and winter.

3 Armin Van Burren - Getting too big to stay in a club, here comes the Roseland for him as well.

4 ATB - Was Pacha EVER that packed (besides an Armin night)

5 Ferry Corsten - Right behind ATB, but not quite as many people.

atb no

how you figure
they both have monthly residencies

as for international dj's i would say tiesto,pvd,carl cox,s&d
draw the biggest crowds in nyc

but seriously armin, pvd and tiesto draw the most. There are only so many guidos that can come out for boris and jp

Louie DeVito

Yea, if you're talking JUST in NYC then you're gonna get a different top 5 than best attended DJ's in general. I don't have a clue what the order would be, but Tiesto, JP, VC, PVD are obvious locks for the top 4 imo. There are plenty of guidos to support the JP VC contingency...lol

ATB really packed FUR the last time he was here as well.

dj sammy by far!

Thanks for the replies! Frequency Frank, is New York that different from the rest of the world in terms of who is popular? JP and VC arent very popluar anywhere else? I know JP has been here in CT a few times and I have seen videos of half empty clubs.

And he's a more talented DJ than any of the others mentioned in this thread IMO.....

Tiesto, Armin, and PVD own the international and US crowd when they're in town, and in NY, JP and VC are the kings of the locals/B&T's.

that was once, the time he was here before that i went and it wasn't packed. when you ask who draws a lot of people there has to be some sort of trend. i don't draw conclusions from a one time action. not saying anything bad about the party but seriously it was once versus PvD or AvB who pack it out each and every time. kyau & albert / ronski speed combo generated a fantastic showing but i wouldn't say they have a huge draw because it happened once.

also, there are only trance djs mentioned...i have yet to experience VC in nyc but at bal en blanc this year he was the last dj in the house room of a 15hr party and the house "room" was bumping with a couple thousand people . no mention of erick morillo who has people in pacha until god knows when. these two guys do it gig in and gig out and they play to a larger audience.

I went to one of Calderone's parties at Arc back in the day...one of his Tribalism nights, and it wasn't packed. Could have been an off night maybe. 6 years later, and he is definitely packing NYC clubs to the gills.

Is he really that big everyone else though? I don't really get the impression he's very big overseas.

i mean, if you think about, the biggest draws would be the DJs who play the most in NYC and bring in the biggest revenues for clubs and promoters. right?

so who plays the most in new york. who brings in the most money and the most people

in no order, I'd have to guess van dyk, van buuren, boris, JP, and calderone. no? i guess morillo would have to be on there too.

not sure how big he actually is but i remember hearing chatter about him before i even started going out.

Tiesto � No one else can pack out Webster Hall 3 nights in a row
PVD � Too big for clubs, packs out largest of nyc�s outdoor venues
AVB � Again, too big for clubs alone
Sasha AND Digweed � One alone isn�t big enough
Tenaglia � For the number of times that he plays in NYC vs the number of people he brings each time I wouldn�t be surprised if he tops some of these guys over the course of the year.

�as far as Borris, JP ect� I have never been to one of their parties but they do fill up a room the same way/frequency as DT so they have to be in the running.

You do have to consider how often a dj plays in NYC too. Tiesto once in a blue moon of course will bring out tons of people.
