Drummer Martin Atkins (Public Image Ltd., Killing Joke, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails) has written a book, 'Tour: Smart', which is a primer for touring bands. He recently spoke with Andrea Seabrook of NPRs All Things Considered about the book.

"The basic rule that I'm finding now," Atkins says, "is I'm trying to let everyone know that they are completely and totally screwed. But if they can just accept that fact, then they might not be."

NPR also outlines one of the more important chapters, "Marketing IV — 61 Strategies For A More Successful Show:"

1. Give your ticket-buying fans plenty of time to commit.

2. Tour within a reasonable time of a new release.

3. Create Your Own Event!

4. Play the right venue.

5. Play the right venue on the right night!

6. Play where your fans are.

...and more

You can listen to the entire show at All Things Considered.

      Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?

      NelsonG posted a topic in General News,

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
