Why You're Losing Money on Every Tour

Touring can be expensive, and it's hard to know where to start when putting together a budget. A lot of artists just skip the budget when they plan a tour, which is never a good idea.

Without a solid tour budget in place, you could easily end up spending way more than you planned on your next tour. That could mean getting stranded on the other side of the country, or having to cancel a tour halfway through – neither is a good option.

  • The advantages of budgeting and tracking expenses
  • The eight basic categories of a DIY tour budget
  • How long can you tour? Let your budget decide
