Tour managers are involved in budgeting, scheduling, transportation, accommodations, dealing with vendors, and sometimes even managing the artist's personal needs. They are the main point of contact for venues, promoters, and production crews, coordinating everything from soundchecks to after-show wrap-ups.
It's worth noting that tour managers often double as personal managers. This means that they not only oversee the logistics of the tour but also manage all aspects of an artist's life. They are responsible for not only ensuring a smooth-running tour but also ensuring the artist's happiness and well-being.
A tour manager (or concert tour manager) is the person who helps to organize the administration for a schedule of appearances of a musical group (band) or artist at a sequence of venues (a concert tour).
Road managers can be confused with tour managers. Generally speaking, though, tour managers work with upper-mid to large scale tours and are often granted a much greater degree of authority in tour operations.
