Management
Tour managers handle the management, correspondence and operations of an artists tour experience. They travel with artists and DJ’s as the on-site point of contact to coordinate with venues, promoters and crew members during the planning, preparation, and execution of a show. Whether that be reviewing agreements and contracts, obtaining required licensing and insurance, booking needed crew members, creating travel itineraries, or coordinating with the venue managers and promoters throughout the entirety of the process, they ensure an artists show runs smoothly.
