How to book a DJ in Gothenburg

Here's how booking a DJ in Gothenburg works, and what's worth thinking about before you send your request.

Common events in Gothenburg

From a crayfish party in the garden to an office party for 300 people - these are the events Gothenburgers book DJs for most:

Weddings at farms and manor houses around the city, along the west coast and out on the islands. See wedding DJs.
Company parties and julbord in the city centre, around Avenyn and on Lindholmen. Read booking a DJ for a corporate event.
Crayfish parties and summer parties in August, often outdoors and usually with a singalong before the dancing.
Graduation parties and graduation truck parades (studentflak) in June, when the most popular weekends get booked early.
Bars and restaurants in Haga, Linné and Majorna that want a DJ at weekends. See live music at restaurants.

How much does a DJ cost in Gothenburg?

A DJ in Gothenburg is generally SEK 6,000–15,000 for a night, while DJs who are new to the scene often start at around SEK 4,000. In Gothenburg the date and the journey affect the price most: Saturdays in June and August and the weekends before Christmas go first, and a party out on the islands means a boat trip and more carrying. You'll find the full price picture in the guide how much a DJ costs.

Good to know about the venue and getting there

Gothenburg has its own challenges for anyone turning up with speakers and decks. Mention these when you send your request:

The southern archipelago. The islands are car-free and reached by boat from Saltholmen, so the equipment has to be carried on board. Give the boat times and say whether there's a trolley or transport on the island.
Parking in the city centre. Around Avenyn, Haga and Linné space is tight. Say whether there's a loading zone, a garage or a back entrance to the venue.
Outdoor parties. West coast weather changes quickly. Say whether there's a roof, a marquee or an indoor plan B, so the DJ can protect the equipment.
When the party ends. Many venues and housing associations have hours to stick to. Say when the music needs to stop, so the DJ can plan the night around it.

How much does it cost to hire a DJ in Gothenburg?

A night with a DJ in Gothenburg generally costs SEK 6,000–15,000, and DJs who are new to the scene often start at around SEK 4,000. Set length, date and how far the DJ has to travel decide where in the range you land - a Saturday in June on an island in the archipelago costs more than a Friday in the city centre. You see the price in the DJ's reply and pay nothing extra to Jocky.

What kinds of events can I book a DJ in Gothenburg for?

Anything where people want to dance: weddings, crayfish parties, graduation parties, 50th birthdays and the office Christmas party. Bars and restaurants in Gothenburg also book DJs for weekends. If your guests would rather sing along than dance, a troubadour is often a better fit.

Can I hire just the DJ decks without a DJ?

No, on Jocky you book a DJ who plays - but almost all of them bring their own decks and speakers, so you don't need to hire anything yourself. If you just need sound for a party without a DJ, see the guide hiring speakers for a party.

Can the DJ play out in the Gothenburg archipelago?

Yes. The islands in the southern archipelago are car-free, so the equipment travels on the passenger ferry from Saltholmen. Say which island it is, when the boats run and whether there's power - then the DJ can factor in the journey and the carrying.

How far in advance should I book a DJ in Gothenburg?

For weddings and popular Saturdays in June, August and December, many people book three to six months ahead. For a company party or a Friday a few weeks is usually enough, and sometimes it works out at short notice.

Does it cost anything to send a booking request?

No. Searching, listening and sending requests is completely free, with no obligation. You only pay once you've chosen an artist and confirmed the booking.

How quickly will I get a reply?

Most artists reply within a few hours and almost all within 24 hours. If you send your request to several at once, you see all the replies in one place and can compare price, availability and format straight away.

What kinds of artists can I book?

As well as DJs, you can book live bands, troubadours, saxophonists, quiz hosts and stand-up comedians. They're all booked the same way – search, send a request, compare and choose.

What does 'verified artist' mean?

It means we've checked their identity and contact details and that the artist can invoice – through their own company or through Jocky. Verified artists have also accepted our terms on cancellations and delivery, so you know where you stand before you book.

I can't find the artist I'm looking for – can you help?

Yes. We book far more artists than the ones shown on the site. Tell us who or what kind of artist you're after, and we'll tap into our network and get back to you with suggestions – usually the same day. Contact us and we'll sort it out.

What happens if the artist falls ill?

If the artist falls ill or can't make it, we'll help you find a replacement at short notice – often the same day. You never pay for a gig that doesn't happen.

Can I book DJs in Gothenburg and the surrounding area?

Yes. The list above shows verified DJs sorted by distance from Gothenburg, closest first. Many are happy to travel – just say where the event is and the artist will include any travel in their reply.

Can't find what you're looking for?

We book far more artists than the ones shown here. Tell us about your event and we'll get back to you with suggestions – or give us a call.
