In the music industry, financial challenges have been a topic of growing discussion, now Fear Factory guitarist Dino Cazares has also added his thoughts on the challenges of touring, in response to a story on Metal Injection.

He revealed that due to high costs associated with more traditional tour formats, Fear Factory will be resorting back to travelling via a van for its 2023 schedule.

There are many factors that can make touring expensive for bands. Some of the main reasons include the cost of renting or purchasing equipment, hiring crew members to help set up and run shows, paying for transportation and accommodations for the band and their crew, and the general cost of doing business on the road.

Whilst these challenges have always been present, they have been greatly exacerbated in recent years following the Covid-19 Pandemic. Additionally, the size of the band and the popularity of their music can also impact the cost of touring, as larger bands and more popular acts may require larger venues and more extensive production, which can add to the overall cost of the tour.
