What should I do after my DJ set to get more gigs?
A DJ set alone rarely gets you rebooked. What matters is how reliable you are, how you follow up, and whether promoters remember you as easy to work with.
Get StartedHow to Get Rebooked After Your DJ Set
Signal reliability, not ego
Promoters don't book DJs because of one good transition. They book DJs they can trust.
That means:
- show up on time
- stick to the agreed time slot
- respect the lineup
- don't complain or negotiate on the spot
Your behavior after the set matters more than the set
After your set: thank the promoter personally, don't disappear immediately, don't ask for another gig the same night.
Most DJs kill their chances by:
- being drunk
- overhyping themselves
- asking "So, when can I play again?"
Follow up the right way (and at the right time)
Follow up 24–72 hours later. A good follow-up is short, references the event, shows appreciation, and keeps the door open.
Example:
Thanks again for having me last Friday.
Loved the vibe and the crowd.
Would be happy to play again anytime.
That's it. No pitching. No pressure.
Stay visible without being annoying
Promoters rebook DJs they remember. You stay memorable by tagging the club/promoter in your recap, posting one clean clip from the set, and interacting naturally over time.
Not by:
- spamming DMs
- sending links every week
Think long-term, not gig-to-gig
One gig rarely changes everything. Consistency does. Promoters look for DJs who are easy to work with, fit their crowd, and don't cause problems. That's how one gig turns into many.
