The On the Road Again program will continue rolling out extra support to every artist playing shows at Live Nation’s clubs through 2024. Launched last fall with the legendary Willie Nelson, On the Road Again helps developing artists on tour and recognizes crews working tirelessly behind the scenes.
For every show played in an On The Road Again venue, each headliner and support act receives $1,500 in gas and travel cash on top of nightly performance compensation. Additionally, artists keep 100% of merch profits as On the Road Again clubs do not charge merchandise selling fees.
“Our goal was to make touring a little easier and we’ve accomplished that night after night for over 4,000 artists, with more on the way,” said Willie Nelson.
On The Road Again has distributed tens of millions of dollars to over 4,000 artists and counting, with no set end date for the program. The program also distributed special bonuses and elevated club staff to a $20 minimum wage to recognize those working to support developing art
