Types of DJs

5. Festival DJs

Imagine massive outdoor stages, pyrotechnics, and tens of thousands of screaming fans—that’s the life of a Festival DJ. These performers are often at the peak of their careers and bring high-energy sets to grand events.

Festival DJs typically play original tracks, remixes, or mashups and know how to deliver an electrifying experience. Think headliners like Calvin Harris or Armin van Buuren. While their performance spaces are colossal, the pressure to deliver iconic sets is just as high!

Key qualities of a Festival DJ:

• Advanced performance skills and original music production
• Ability to energize diverse audiences
• Comfort with managing show-stopping stage setups
