Of course not, but their going rate for lets say a "black keys production" goes for around a million and then gets divided up to all those involved from the ground up

Well, certain bands or artists do have deals outside of their music label's arduous "360 music deals" where they play a onetime show for a lump sum. The musician (typically, it's a solo performance) nets all of the proceeds.

i always try to calculate how much a band nets when they do a show.

Also, with smaller places some bands can get a cut of the bar. I have a friend that is a white rapper and in his heydey, he would get 2-3% of the bar there was no cover. He said he made more money that way than doing cover charges.

Word.

Here is some random info on what DJs make. This is from a thread awhile ago. And the source is legit as they come.

quote:

The big guys could play every day of the year somewhere around the world. A lot of the younger guys will try to play in two different cities in one day if they can. Just say they play 287 gigs a year. 

Clubs(Non Vegas) 
250 @ 40k to 100k+ per gig (A Markets Pay More) 

Festivals 
25 @ 150k-500k+ per festival (International Markets Have Sponsorship Dollars) 

Vegas Club 
12 @ 500k-1M+ 

Over 90 percent of these guys income(besides Calvin and Guetta) comes from DJing. I think Forbes underestimated on some of them. Wait until you see next years amounts

I came across this list a while ago. I don't know how reliable it is, though.
