How Tunebooker works
Tunebooker is the direct way to book Australia's DJs and live acts. Stream their music, book the one you love, and pay securely — with no agency taking a cut in the middle.
Booking a DJ in 4 steps
- 1
Discover and stream
Browse DJs and live acts by city, genre, or vibe, and listen to their real sets before you commit. What you hear is what you book.
- 2
Request and agree a price
Send a booking request with your date and details. You and the artist can message and counter-offer until you settle on a price that works for both of you.
- 3
Pay securely into escrow
Pay through Tunebooker. Your money is charged to your card and held safely in escrow — the artist isn't paid yet.
- 4
Enjoy the gig — then funds release
The artist plays your event. Their payment is released afterwards, either when you release it or automatically 48 hours later. If you cancel beforehand, you get a full refund.
Simple, transparent pricing
Browsing, streaming, and sending booking requests are free. Tunebooker charges a 10% platform fee on the booking value when you confirm — that's it. No subscriptions, no hidden booking fees, no agency markup.
Built on trust
- Escrow on every booking. Funds are held until after the event, so your money is protected.
- Two-sided reviews. Venues and artists review each other after each completed gig, so the ratings you see are earned.
- Clear refunds. Cancel while funds are held and get a full refund — see our refund policy.
