TOUR MANAGEMENT
Tours are an essential part of bringing music to market. Broadscope can provide comprehensive tour management services, including all the moving parts: financial, advancing and on-the-road. A tour is an intensely organized process which can quickly turn into a disaster if not handled professionally. The services typically include:
A. FINANCIAL
Complete tour budgeting, calculating costs for crew wages, per diems, accommodation, transport, sound, lighting and video equipment, visas and work permits, rehearsals and other expenses such as booking agent commissions
Preparation of weekly reports to be submitted to the business manager.
B. ADVANCING
Advancing is the process of contacting each promoter and venue to ensure the entire artist’s technical and hospitality demands (the rider) are met and to resolve any problems the promoter or venue can foresee.
The planning typically covers catering, production (sound, lights, stagehands needed), security, general show and legal issues, coordinating names and addresses, arrival times, equipment load-in times, sound check and performance times, any supporting/opening acts and live music curfews
To coordinate the effort, the tour manager also production of “tour book” issued to the band and crew.
C. ON THE ROAD
The tour manager travels with the band on the tour; his/her workload can include:
Overseeing hotel departures on time, settling accommodation bills, overseeing travel arrangements, i.e. band and crew onto the bus or to the airport in good time, paying per diems to the band/artist and crew
Overseeing venue arrival, double-checking hospitality and technical arrangements, arranging up-to-date running order with venue and promoter, overseeing promotional activities; i.e. TV, radio and press interviews at the venue or at other locations
Supervising setup operations, supervising any support or opening acts, ensuring venue is ready to open on time by supervising sound check times, liaising with transport department regarding the next days’ travel, ensuring all acts perform on time and for the allotted time
Settling performance fee with promoter and collecting any due cash, ensuring all touring equipment is re-packed and loaded back onto tour transport, preparing band and crew schedule sheets for the next day, overseeing band and crew onto appropriate overnight transport or to next hotel
Reporting the show’s attendance figures to management and booking agent, troubleshooting unforeseen issues and emergencies that occur.
