However, when it comes to touring, things start to get
difficult. Promoters don’t want to take the risk of putting an artist on stage
without proven
popularity. Concert crowdfunding mitigates this risk because it could become a
presold show. A great explanation of how this method works is shown at Gigfunder.
On the other hand, artists can add more dates to their
existing tour with this method. There are a few websites such as Bandastic,
Queremos!, and PledgeMe that are offering this service to fans and artists. Sites
like Detour by Songkick help
artists, fans and promoters by
expanding the tour range. Artists play concerts in cities where they have not
played before, which translates
to more money. For fans, the dream comes true; they can finally see their
favorite band playing live in their city. For promoters, it is a safe deal with
no risk. Most important of all, if crowdfunded concerts succeed, the new date and venue will be going to be added
for the next tour.
Concert crowdfunding is going to keep growing. You can count on that. New artists will keep emerging every day with the hunger of playing gigs anywhere, and the fans will be in the front row waiting for them.
