The group chat is not a tour manager
Stop answering “what time is load in.”
Tourouter texts your whole band the day sheet every morning. Plan the run once, free.

Plan your tour free
Build the whole run, add every date, and work out the routing without paying anything.
Your crew rides free
The tour owner runs the account. Invite the whole band and crew at no extra cost.
Your tours stay yours
A finished tour stays readable, settleable, and exportable for good, whatever happens to your plan later.
Every run fails the same three ways.
None of them are anyone's fault. The information exists. It is just scattered across six apps and four people. Putting it in one place is what band management software is for.
“wait is load in 3 or 4”
Asked in three separate threads, answered in none of them.
“the hotel is in an email somewhere”
Nobody has the confirmation number at 1am in a parking lot.
“what was the guarantee again”
The one number you cannot guess, and it is in someone's DMs.
Heard on the podcast: Curse Mackey, Rogue of Crüxshadows, Bellhead, Jet of Dark Force Fest, and NUDA.
At the desk, months out
Plan it at the desk.
Somebody in the band ended up being the tour manager. This is thetour management software built for them: a real screen, a keyboard, and the whole run side by side.
Paste what the promoter sent
One date a line or a CSV, or start a new tour from a photo of the flyer. It counts what it found before anything is saved.
Every drive, measured
On the map, in the Planner and on each date, with a leg over your limit flagged.
Holds that count themselves
Planning, inquiry, hold, confirmed, contracted, with a clock on the ones that need you.
Fill in a row at a time
Twelve set times typed in a row, not twelve pages opened.
In the van, show day
Run it from the van.
Today, with what is happening now and what is next. The drive with real drive times, the hotel, and one tap to the promoter. Your active tour opens with no signal, and anything you change syncs when you are back.
The day sheet sends itself.
Just after midnight, on the clock wherever the tour actually is, the day goes out as a text, so it is waiting when the band wakes up. Load in, set times, the venue, the hotel, the guest list and the day's notes. Show days come with the venue map attached. Nobody has to open an app, and nobody has to remember to send it.
Your crew and team are on the list from the start, and anyone you add to contacts can be switched on: the driver, the runner, the person doing merch for one night. No account needed to receive it.

Route the run before you book it.
A routing can look fine as a list and be obviously wrong as a shape. Every leg shows its drive time, on the map and in the Planner.
In the order you play it
Every stop labelled with its town and its night. Dotted behind you, solid ahead.
Over your limit
Set the longest drive you want in a day. A leg over it, with no day off around it, says so in red.
Add from the map
Search a town or a venue, or click the map, and add a stop where it falls in the run.
Money
Money, settled.
Every show is one page: the overview, the schedule, the day sheet and the money, a tab each. Guarantees, door, merch, fuel and per diems go in one ledger, each with who paid it. Settle each show against its deal, then read the whole run as a profit and loss.
It says who paid. Settling up is the band's business.
Two bands, one tour.
Invite the other band on the bill and the run becomes a Tour Package. Everyone shares the schedule, the venues and the morning day sheet. Each band keeps its own crew, its own merch and its own money.
Guest bands join free.
Founding members
The first 100 teams keep founding pricing, even between tours.
Founding teams get the Band plan at $29.99 a month or $299.99 a year, instead of $49 or $490, or a Tour Pass at $39.99 instead of $59. Each team counts once, and a founding Pass also gets you founding Band pricing later. The band's owner makes the purchase.
For managers, the first 10 get Roster at $99.99 a month or $999.99 a year, instead of $149 or $1,490. These are separate spots: founding Band or Pass pricing doesn't carry over to Roster.
The offer closes when the spots fill, or on December 31, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific. Checkout holds a spot for 30 minutes, and paying is what secures it. Signing up and planning for free don't hold one. There is no code to enter: founding prices apply on their own at checkout.
Cancel whenever you need to. If you come back for your next tour, your founding price is still yours.
Start planning freeFree to plan. Pay when you hit the road.
Build the whole tour before you owe anything. A plan starts when the tour goes live and the day sheets start going out. Crew seats are always free.

What is Tourouter?
Tourouter is tour management software for bands who manage themselves. One person plans the run: the dates and the drives between them, each day's schedule, the venues and the money. Tourouter then texts everyone the day sheet each morning, so nobody has to ask what time load in is.
Is Tourouter free?
Planning is free with no time limit: build the whole run, add every date and invite the band without a card. You pay when the tour goes live. Until December 31, 2026, the first 100 bands pay founding prices, applied at checkout with no code: $39.99 for a Tour Pass that covers one tour, or $29.99 a month for Band. After that a Tour Pass is $59 and Band is $49 a month. Crew and viewer seats are free and unlimited, and the stage plot maker is free with no account.
Does Tourouter have a free stage plot maker?
Yes. The stage plot maker is free with no account, no watermark and no limit on plots. Drag your band onto the stage and it writes the input list, monitor mixes and power drops for you, then download one PDF for the venue.
Can I check my tour routing before I sign up?
Yes. The free tour routing check reads a pasted list of dates and shows the estimated drive between every stop, the drives that are too long with no day off around them, and where the run doubles back. It needs no account and nothing is uploaded.
What is a day sheet, and is there a template?
A day sheet is one page that tells the whole band what happens today: where the show is, when to load in and play, who to call and where everyone sleeps. Tourouter writes one for every date and texts it out each morning. There is also a free template to copy.
How is Tourouter different from Master Tour, Daysheets or TourPro?
Three things. The day sheet arrives as a text, so crew who never install an app still get it. The money sits next to the schedule: guarantees, expenses, who paid and the settlement for each show. And it is built for a tour that drives, with the run on a map and the drive time between cities. The others are stronger on flights and on tools for a production office.
Does my whole crew need to pay?
No. The tour owner runs the account and everyone else rides free. You pay for editor seats, which are the people who change the plan. Crew and viewer seats are unlimited and cost nothing.
What counts as an editor?
Owners, admins and editors: anyone who can change the tour. Everyone else on the run is a free seat, however many of them there are.
What happens to my tours if I stop paying?
A finished tour stays readable, settleable and exportable for good. Your history does not get locked up because a plan lapsed.
What happens in a venue with no signal?
Once the phone has synced your active tour, the whole thing opens with no connection: the day, the schedule, the venue, lodging, contacts, guest list and the money. Change something offline and it is saved on the phone, marked as waiting, and sent the moment you have service again. If someone else changed the same thing in the meantime, the app says who. A few things still need a connection: signing in, sending the day sheet, imports, exports, billing and settling a show.
My run is longer than 45 days. What then?
A Tour Pass covers one tour up to 45 days, measured first date to last. Longer than that, take Band, or split the run into two.
Can I import a tour from a flyer or a PDF?
Yes. On the web or in the app, add a photo of the poster or the promoter's PDF, or paste the date list, and Tourouter reads it into a draft of dates, cities and venues. You review and correct the draft, then create the tour. Nothing exists until you do.
We are touring with another band. Can we share one tour?
Yes. Invite the other band from the tour's Tour Package settings, on the web or in the app, and it becomes a Tour Package. Both bands see the same dates, venues and day sheets. Money stays separate: each band records its own, marks a row shared or private, and never sees a total that includes money it cannot open. Guest bands join free.
Can I get my tour data out?
Yes. A finished tour stays exportable, so the run you just did can leave with you.
Put the next run together this week.
