The agents arrange tours and performances for bands, including negotiating contracts, fees, equipment needs, and schedules with promoters, venues, and labels. They handle logistics like transportation and accommodations for bands. Agents also promote bands through opening slots for popular acts, radio play, TV ads, online platforms, autobiographies, competitions, and signings to build the fanbase and market the band to the right audience. The goal is to arrange successful shows and tours that earn enough money to take a percentage as the agents' commission.
