EDMBoston has gotten its hands on the rider contracts of some of our favorite artists. A rider contract is a list of all the demands a venue must contractually fulfill when hosting an artist. This means if the contract says the artist requires in N out burgers to be flown in from california for their show they must acquiesce.

Just thinking about going without even one of those things would be a total buzzkill #sarcasm. Of course, you never know how far people will go to please you unless you ask. David Guetta asked for a laundry list of 100 items for his Fuck Me I'm famous show at Roseland Ballroom.
Longest Request List: David Guetta Roseland Ballroom Show
Simplest: Sidney Samson & Nero.
A lot of DJ's are simpletons and require very little of venues other then a good time and the bare minimum equipment. But it’s impressive how little some need compared to others to have a good time. Hell, some didn't even ask for ice!
