But in terms of the sheer Mount Everest-ness of mounting a major artist’s tour, the further back you go in time the more daunting it gets.Notwithstanding soaring production costs, things are buttery for big artists and their teams criss-crossing the post-COVID globe, as they’re reaping more revenue than ever thanks to a roaring return to live events, better ticket resale regulation in some territories, and 3D video imaging that mimics much more expensive steel staging.Interesting new tour management and accounting software is also helping pave the roadways and runways that lead to sunny net revenues for journeying music acts.A newly launched app called Daysheets allows musicians and their road crews to create and manage logistics directly from mobile phones in a simpler way than before. The app is great “for smaller acts that may not be able to afford, and don’t need, a more complicated tool, and of course it’s also ideal for established operations,” says Ben Melman, co-founder of Daysheets and former road manager for Rod Stewart. “This app declares war on tour complications, allowing band members to bypass load-in details irrelevant to them, while admins are able to manage all aspects of the day-to-day from a single interface,” he says

Chicago-based firm Eventric, developer of the popular tour management software Master Tour, has launched a venue-specific version of the program to help streamline production logistics and show advancement from load-in to guest lists to settlement on tours of all type and size.
