Will Sheff goes on tour, expects to lose $5-7,000

Okkervil River's Will Sheff is about to embark on the US tour, and he estimates that he’ll lose approximately $5-7,000 end on his East and West coast tours. He expects to lose double that in Europe. He shares his thoughts in the Stereogum interview: “These tours feel like you have to charge in with the bayonets and cannons. You already know from the manager telling you and every other band telling you, ‘It’s a tough climate, there’s no money – go out and fail!'”. On the other hand, Animal Collective have cancelled their UK/EU dates, citing "inflation, currency devaluation, bloated shipping and transportation costs and much much more",
