I guess it depends on where you%26#039;re booked and what you get paid, but my experience is you%26#039;ll be lucky to make less than half of that.

Depends on how many shows you%26#039;re playing in that 2 months. $36,000 for 1 1/2 months? Thats making $6,000 a week? Maybe, depends on how much whoever is in charge of your booking set your fee.





If you%26#039;re not in the loop of how much each venue is paying you, then only your manager will know. Cos at the end of the day, the venue pays your booking agent or manager, and after taking their cuts, the rest goes to you guys. Oh ya, and your tour costs might cut that amount too, if it%26#039;s not already covered (i.e. accommodations, travel expenses, etc)





Maybe it%26#039;s good to ask your manager about these things too. I don%26#039;t know what your professional relationship is with your manager, or if you%26#039;re comfortable talking dollars and cents with him/her.





But don%26#039;t be left out of the loop on the finance side of things. Make sure you know at least what%26#039;s happening, what you%26#039;re entitled to, what portion of income generated by the tour should you keep (booking fee, % of merch sales etc) etc.





Don%26#039;t be taken for a ride and the tour manager and booking agents takes more % than they should. It%26#039;s your band!





Hope this helps! And good luck with the tour!


Touring is probably one of the highlights of being in a band.
