GUIDE
How to Create a DJ Timetable
Learn how to build a professional DJ timetable in your browser with GIG DECK. Easily manage set lengths, drag and drop to reorder artists, and sync changes instantly with your event crew and attendees without Excel formulas.
Searching for dj timetable or dj time table usually means you’ve hit the limits of spreadsheets or paper run sheets. Last-minute lineup changes, set overruns, and frantic group chat messages are the norm at DJ events—GIG DECK is built to handle exactly that. Everything runs in the browser with no install required.
1. Create Your Event
Sign in at gigdeck.app and hit “Create New Event.” You’ll fill in:
- Event name and venue
- Date
- Start and end times (overnight events past midnight are handled automatically)
2. Build the Lineup
Add each DJ with their set length, then drag and drop to reorder. When you move someone, all the start and end times down the list recalculate instantly. No formulas, no copy-pasting rows.
3. Share with Crew and Attendees
One click generates a read-only public URL. Post it on social media, drop it in the crew group chat, or print the auto-generated QR code and put it at the entrance or bar. Attendees open it in their browser—no app install.

Common Mistakes (and Quick Fixes)
-
Lineup changed last minute, but no one got the update
→ Drag to reorder in GIG DECK. The public URL updates automatically for everyone. -
A set ran long and threw off the rest of the night
→ Extend that DJ’s time, and every subsequent slot recalculates. -
Staff and DJs were looking at different versions of the schedule
→ Retire the printed sheets. Use the GIG DECK URL as the single source of truth.
