Summer tours come with some of my best memories - as well as flashbacks of sunburns, busses exploding, heat stroke, you name it. Even if it hasn’t happened directly to me, I know someone who it’s happened to.

As much fun as a summer tour can be, if you dive in head first without any preparation, chances are it won’t go well. That’s why in this episode, Matt and I discuss what we’ve learned over our years on Warped Tour and other summer tours.

Listen now to learn how you and your band can survive and thrive on summer tours, so you can enjoy every tour to its fullest potential!

  • What to consider when booking and playing summer shows
  • The dangers of summer touring
