How much do people get paid to play live? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
depends. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
on what? size of crowd? status? |
||||||||
|

how much do people get fined, after the us goverment passes a law that basically says "if drugs are found at a club, that the promoter, the owner and the dj get fined" even though none of them are actaully passing out the substance ? $5,000 to $12,000, that kinda cuts out on the payence for scratchin some wax |
||||||||
|
|

|

Well thats the law in the states not here (UK). Anyway back to the topic. Anyone here in the UK got any ideas what electronic artists command etc. |
||||||||
|

Dunno, but if heard Sven Väth, Jeff Mills & Dave Clarke earn over 8000 $ for one night. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What individually? Thats for big clubs though. What about artists of the Rephlex, Mu size. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
around 100 pound for pubs and small places, or depends if you want cut of the door. just be happy with free drinks and 20 quid each if you're just starting |
||||||||

The really big names - Tong, Oakenfold etc. can demand between £5000-20000 per night. Lesser, but still household names like judge jules etc can expect £1000-5000 (Leaders of a "fringe scene" I imagine ours counts as that) can get around £1000 per show. I'm quoting these figures from How to DJ: Properly by Frank Broughton and Bill Brewster (DJs themselves) All that said, AFX got paid £50,000 for 2 gigs in Brazil once! Me, I'm happy for £50 and free drinks for the night... |

its around 10 grand for a Rephlex night, with a few artists, so they probly earn around a grand a gig or something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thats a bit pricey JC. Lol. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
phiz, Your joking! 10 grand. Thats nuts. How do the promoters make any money? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know kid606 only got about £250 for a gig in manchester |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
£1000 per show! No wonder these people get sod all bookings. At prices like that, it just about prices them out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah but what was the capacity for the Kid 606 gig? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The really big venues/festivals have insane capacity remember... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ceri JC, It all comes down to cost. If something isn't economic to do then it ain't worth doing I guess. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

owners of the venues and such must make most through drinks and maybe a cut of the tickets. costs 10 grand for rphlex, depending on the venue, tickets will be around 10 pound, 300-???? tickets sold, plus drinks and other things on top. not many events turn a profit, only the big guns, most of it is promotion for the artists or labels, gigging and doing events is one of the main forms of promotion so the actual artists usually play for nothing till theyve been around for a while |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Venues have got their costs too. 10 grand is total rippsville. If your an outside promoter then putting on a Rephlex gig is a waste of time. If you got 1000 people through the door it'd be a miracle! Its only economic for Venues as you say. |
||||||||

thats it, the Artist is fucked besically until they can get some sort of following or become a commercially viable prospect (??), Rephlex i think has the status and security to be able to demand 10 grand, i mean look who owns the label, he's not arsed about turnover for the label, more a thing of giving the people on the label a living instead of scraping it. most electronic artists must be makin nothing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh sure totally. Thats the real world. Though electronic artists have to first and foremost do it for pleasure. |
||||||||
|

I think the irony of events like the big ones especially is its just basically a way to shift booze. So many business are based on just shifting booze or drink at inflated prices especially in London. |

||||||||
|

most play for airfare and hotel. if the artist is staying with someone in the area then anywhere from 100-300 depending on the artist and the draw. as well as the cut at the door. that equals shit basically if they are on a tour. so next time youre at a show remember to buy the merch the artist sells because that is how they are feeding themselves. i dont know about large name acts but the above is average. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
$100 dollars, thats fine. Thats £60 not bad for playing some music for 1 hour. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats for a released artist, alot of opening acts and no name people dont get anything and play for the exposure and free drinks. i did that route for years. although i will generally play for free drinks no matter what. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
