Tour Manager (TM)
The person responsible for the day-to-day running of a tour: schedules, travel, hotels, advancing, settlements, and keeping the artist and crew informed. The TM owns the day sheet and is the main point of contact for promoters and venues on show day.
In practice
The TM turns the confirmed plan into clear calls, contact details, and updates that the party can use on the road. They track what is confirmed, what has changed, and who needs to know, then pull the day’s key details into the day sheet. On a large tour, some of these duties may sit with a road manager or production manager.
