Launched with the legendary Willie Nelson, "On The Road Again" is a Live Nation program designed to support touring artists & crew at the club level. On The Road Again has distributed tens of millions of dollars to over 9,000 artists and counting.
WHY IT MATTERS
Artists playing in clubs are the backbone of live music. Almost every artist plays clubs at some point in their career. According to live music charts from Pollstar, there are 4,000 venues in the United States, and small venues host about 70% of all shows each year.
These hardworking artists are impacted the most as tour costs rise and fluctuate. Touring is a crucial part of an artist's livelihood, and we understand costs like venue merch cuts take one of the biggest bites out of artists’ nightly profits. By removing this core expense, we aim to make it easier for artists on the road so they can keep performing to their fans in more cities across the country.
“Touring is important to artists, so whatever we can do to help other artists, I think we should do it. This program will impact thousands of artists and help make touring a little bit easier,” said Willie Nelson, who generously provided his famous hit song, "On the Road Again," as the anthem for the program.
