I do 6-8 hour sets regularly on weekends. good to have a plan, but always, always read the crowd. agree with vintage – you wanna build it in waves, don’t be afraid to bump it up early to get people in the mood, then ease off a bit, if you’re hitting lots of genres, i’ll generally transition every half hour or so to keep it fresh, but once you’re at the tipping point then keep giong with it and build the energy. long gigs are about reading your crowd, knowing when to give them a break, ease off then pull them back – don’t be afraid to drop the tempo drastically if u’ve been hitting them with 120+ bpm for ages. goodluck!!
