Tour Buy Ons

ABOUT US

Tour Buy Ons was founded in 2022 by a group of touring musicians in North America after experiencing a loss of work due to the recent industry interruptions.

With a lot of free time on our hands, reflections turned to our years working in the music industry and the lack of pathways for emerging artists to join established acts on the tour circuit was too big a problem to ignore. The past decade or so saw the road paved with struggles and red tape, but disappointment aside, it brought with it the kind industry knowledge that you need to make a dream a job. After living what we love to do, we built up an extensive network of industry contacts and have created a blueprint to guide emerging bands through the process of taking their first steps out of the DIY local scene and into the touring arena.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

To start the process, please fill out the online submission form below with the requested details and one of us will review your proposal. If we have a suitable contact in our network, we will offer to make the connection between you and the relevant promoter or agent.

Please keep in mind that the clue is in the name; your proposal will be to 'buy on' to a tour. Please give careful consideration to the level of funding you have available to support this project. Historically, we have seen buy ons go from anywhere between two to seventy-five thousand dollars. As money doesn't grow on trees, please be aware that options are available at various price points on the scale and opportunities exist to buy on to only a section of the tour run.

A buy on is your opportunity to give your act a signal boost and break out of the local scene. We hope to assist you in achieving this dream.
