Booking software
built for DJ agencies
DJ booking software is the system a booking agency uses to manage its DJ roster, route incoming offers, generate contracts, send invoices, and run show advancing for every gig. Artistu does this in one place, with native iOS and Android apps and Peppol e-invoicing built in.
Made for the people behind the decks (and the agency)
If your day involves chasing offers, locking dates, sending riders, and reconciling fees across a dozen DJs, this is the tool you've been faking with spreadsheets.
DJ booking agents
Run inbound offers, hold dates, and confirm shows across your full roster. Send contracts, track commissions per artist, and keep promoters on a tight reply loop without spreadsheets.
Artist managers
Stay across every gig your DJs play. See itineraries, flights, hotels, and payouts in one view. Share the right details with the right people. No more zip files.
DJ agencies
Whether you book 5 DJs or 200, manage the whole agency in one tab. Multi-agent permissions, shared calendars, and commission splits that match how your team actually works.
Lock dates faster
Incoming offers land in one inbox. Hold them, counter them, or confirm them. Every offer is tied to an artist, a date, a fee, and a status, so nothing slips between Slack threads and email folders.
When you confirm, the show is automatically added to your shared calendar and to the DJ's calendar. Google Calendar and iCal sync keeps everyone aligned across timezones, without manual reminders. See how booking management works
Contracts and eSign, no detours
Build a contract from your own template in seconds. Pull the artist's technical rider, hospitality rider, and fee structure straight from their profile. Send it to the promoter for signature without leaving Artistu.
eSignatures are built in, with full audit trails. The promoter signs from any device. The contract status updates in real time. You stop scanning paper and chasing PDFs that nobody can find at 11pm. See how contracts and eSign work
Invoices the way Europe does business
Generate the invoice from the confirmed booking. Split fees between artists and agents. Apply the right tax rate per country. Send the invoice in your own branding, in the right language.
Peppol e-invoicing is built in, which most other DJ booking software in the category does not support. For European agencies dealing with corporate clients and government-adjacent venues, that turns a tax-compliance headache into a one-click send. See how invoicing and Peppol work
Show advancing without the panic at 3am
Every gig has a show advancing page with the load-in, set times, tech contact, accommodation, ground transport, and rider status. The DJ sees it in the mobile app. Your team sees it on the dashboard.
Live flight data pulls automatically from the flight number, so when the connection in Frankfurt is two hours late, you and the artist see it before the promoter does. The show advancing module is the most detailed in the category.

Who Artistu fits best
Electronic and DJ agencies
Built with electronic-music agencies in mind. Multi-territory tours, tight turnarounds, riders that change weekly, and DJs who answer in voice notes. The product matches how this part of the industry actually works.
Festival and club bookers
Run a season of bookings across a portfolio of clubs or a festival lineup. Hold dates, run radius clauses, and keep every contract and rider in one place. The shared calendar makes clashes visible early.
Touring DJs and managers
If you manage one DJ across two continents or ten DJs across one, the show advancing and flight tracking modules cut the 3am panic. The DJ sees their gig in the mobile app, you see the agency view.
What DJ agencies say about switching
“I am incredibly happy that we switched to Artistu. The system performs better than all the other platforms we’ve used before as an agency and management. What makes it even more impressive is that updates appear almost daily, which are not only improvements but genuinely innovative. So Artistu is not only effective, but also remarkably efficient. A powerful combination that makes working a lot more enjoyable.”
“After having worked with Aboss for many years, Artistu was a program that required minimal change from me. I got used to the interface and way of working within just a few days. Since using the software, bookings have been created and sent out incredibly fast. Definitely recommended!”
“I play in local cafes and bars on a weekly basis. I used to keep track of my bookings in a spreadsheet so Artistu is a game changer for me.”
“When doing advancing for my artists I used to have to switch between different tools. Now I can do everything in Artistu.”
“I’ve been using Artistu for a few months now & I have seen insane improvements on my time management when it comes to agency bookings. It basically does everything for you & is so easy to keep track of all updates & advancements. Best in the business”
“We use Artistu to manage our roster of artists. It’s a great tool to keep track of all the important information. And our artists love it too.”
