01 — STAGE IMPACT
Festival-Scale Sets
BIG ROOM ACOUSTICSMain Stage Dynamic Pacing
A 60–90 minute festival set has to land fast and hold a big field. Records are still chosen live, reading the crowd from the front barrier to the back.
Visuals & Lighting
Artist logos and visuals are available on request, and screen specs are agreed during the advance. Per the rider, no CO2 or pyro is directed over the DJ equipment.
Stage Changeover Efficiency
Simple stage logistics: USB playback on the rider's CDJ-3000 set-up, one point of contact for the advance, and set times kept to the run-sheet.
QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BOOK
Booking Questions
ANSWERED PLAINLYHow do you book a DJ for a festival?
Send the festival name, date, stage, slot time and length, expected capacity and your offer to bookings@djkimworld.com or through the enquiry form. DJ Kim's fees are quoted per booking, and every enquiry gets a reply within two working days. Once confirmed, the advance covers the technical rider, travel and visas, which the promoter arranges. Her bio, photos and rider are in the DJ Kim press kit.
What is a festival DJ rider?
A rider is the artist's list of technical and hospitality requirements, agreed as part of the contract. DJ Kim's technical rider asks for two Pioneer CDJ-3000s on wired PRO DJ LINK, a DJM-A9 mixer and two booth monitors, with USB playback and no laptop. Her hospitality rider covers flights and a minimum 4-star hotel for her and her manager, plus private ground transfers.
How long is a festival DJ set?
Most festival slots run 60 to 90 minutes, and that is DJ Kim's standard festival set length for stages of 3,000 or more. A longer set, such as a closing slot or an aftershow, can be agreed in advance. Because she chooses records live rather than playing a fixed set, the set can be shaped to the slot. More on how she builds a set: melodic techno and afro house.
What travel does a festival need to cover for a touring DJ?
For DJ Kim, travel covers two people, the artist and her manager, unless agreed otherwise in writing. Flights are economy up to four hours and premium economy for longer, with business class possible on long-haul by contract. The promoter also provides a minimum 4-star hotel, private licensed transfers and any visas or work permits. These costs sit alongside the fee: how DJ fees are worked out.
Is DJ Kim available for festivals in 2026 and 2027?
Yes. DJ Kim is taking worldwide festival bookings for 2026 and 2027; 2026 dates are limited and 2027 is open. She has twenty years behind the decks, more than 500 shows across 24 countries and a 4.9 promoter rating. Send your festival dates early, as summer weekends are the busiest. Promoters balancing a line-up can read more about her as a female melodic techno DJ.
