After each tour, we'll refine and update our goals:

1) Create a logical tour route with host bands in each city and at least one tag band.
2) Each city host can do whatever they want to arrange and promote their show since they know their market best.
3) We act as a central coordinator for the tour routing, getting out national promotions to the media, and making available national promotion material to each of the host bands so that they can customize the information for their show.
4) We communicate "best practices" through www.MusicTourNetwork.com and here on tribe so that everyone can learn from each other.
5) We make sure that financial compensation issues, venue information, backline issues, and show times (load in, set start times, set length) are all communicated well in advance via the www.MusicTourNetwork.com website. This allows us to help people who are having trouble organizing a show to succeed, makes sure that everyone knows what the details are in advance of each show, and allows us to drop shows that are clearly not going to succeed.
