A Day In The Life Of Being On Tour Don't Shit On The Bus

There are so many different jobs that exist on tour. So what happens during the day? Who does what? Where do they do it? And for how long? This week we break a single tour day down into its different segments and explain job by job what each person is doing. We hope this helps fill in some areas of confusion and give you a better understanding of what goes on all day to make a concert happen.
