curious, approx. how much money do you think a DJ like tiesto or PVD get for a 4 hour set?
I've always wondered how these DJs can go from performing at a grand ballroom like roseland/hammerstein... then then next thing you hear, they are at a lounge like provacateur, lavo, etc etc.
I hear numbers from $40k to $75k
does anyone actually know? or are they just rumors?
TIA

| a few years ago, tiesto charged 10k/hr. now, probably more unless he is playing a college campus. |

| The top 5 DJs make anywhere in a range of 40-100K for a gig, depending on country, venue, promoter, etc.. |

As much of a PVD fan as I am, he makes much less than Tiesto now a days and really shouldn't be in the same sentence as Tiesto.
Ecos statement is as close as you can guess because it really does depend on city, venue, promotor, and capacity and even expected ticket price but I know of quite a few shows where Tiesto got more than 100k |

That's insane. I guess a lot of these guys really are in it for the money now. |

Most of those Top 5 and sometimes Top 10 guys can easily make 100-200K on New Years gigs or some of those 2-3 night shows. It's really incredible to imagine that kind of money and kind of makes you question the whole idea of showing up with a CD book and pressing some buttons for 2 hours vs. playing with a band (guitars, basses, drums, roadies, backup singers, band members, merchandise people, etc.). But that's another conversation for another day. |
