In this 90-minute Masterclass, you’ll step inside the real-world systems that keep professional tours running smoothly. Designed for new artists preparing to tour and aspiring tour managers, this session breaks down the practical, behind-the-scenes work that separates organised, profitable tours from expensive disasters.
From advancing shows to settling at the end of the night, you’ll learn how to think like a tour manager — and operate like one.
By the end of this session, you’ll be able to:
Advance a tour properly — communicate with venues, confirm logistics, and eliminate surprises.
Plan and budget with clarity — build realistic tour structures before you hit the road.
Report and account accurately — understand settlements, track spending, and close out professionally.
This is not theory. This is how tours actually work.
1. Introduction
The real role of a tour manager — beyond the clichés.
2. Before the Tour: Budgeting
Building a workable financial plan that protects the band.
3. Before the Tour: Advancing
Confirming tech specs, hospitality, schedules, and expectations.
4. During the Tour: Accounting
Tracking income, expenses, settlements, and documentation.
5. During the Tour: Day-to-Day & Troubleshooting
Problem-solving in real time. When things go wrong (and they will).
6. After the Tour
Closing the loop, reporting, and setting up the next run for success.
✔ Live Q&A
✔ Real-world scenario task (including show settlement walkthrough)
You won’t just watch — you’ll apply what you learn.
Aspiring Tour Managers looking for a professional foundation
New artists planning their first tour
Crew members wanting to step into larger roles

But this is different.
You get:
Direct access to an experienced professional
A structured breakdown of real tour systems
The opportunity to ask questions specific to your situation
An applied activity to test your understanding
This is about professional standards, not guesswork.
