Franky Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Firstly, hi all :) I haven't posted for a while as no Glastonbury this year but I am happy to be back and start the fun all over again leading up to next year. So, ,my question is this. How would a DJ go about getting a slot somewhere to play at Glastonbury ? Here's the real trick, he's 14. Now I know this will probably have a lot of you thinking why are you even asking but, I'm asking because he's f*cking good ! I was surprised by how mature his choice of music was, he plays house music and was mixing in some great tunes like a pro. Anyway I just thought I could ask on here incase anyone had any contacts for like a 30 min session on Wed or Thurs afternoon somewhere. Many thanks for any help anyone can be.

JoeyT Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 I'd say a good place to start would be to contact some of the smaller tents / stages facebook pages? This is the ridge and furrows page: https://www.facebook.com/Eventbarsltd/ They may also be able to point you in the directions of others who run small bars etc...

Hugh Jass Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 I'd play the Birdie Song on repeat for half an hour on the Wednesday if it guaranteed me a ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian the worm Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Where abouts do you live? Then spend your time finding who runs a bar / venue that lives near you and badger them first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crystalbrincks Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Festivals are interested in people who achieved something already. I would recommend to promote a self brand, get followers on instagram, make music streams via youtube or twich, it can take several months, but 1) it's a great start for a fanbase, 2) it proves that the DJ is serious about what they're doing, 3) it shows what the festival will benefit from when inviting the DJ for a set.
