CHAPTER 9Concerts and Touring
CHAPTER OVERVIEW
In this chapter, entrepreneurial artists and bands tell the story of the live music industry. Hundreds of online tools help DIY bands manage their shows, book tours, and stay in touch with fans. For many bands, however, this is only a short-term strategy. The live concerts sector of the music industry is a global business, with complex travel, customs, tax, and rights issues. The chapter concludes with short entrepreneurial sound bytes featuring artists and business people in the concert business.
