Tour insurance overview
The short answer
Tour insurance is the coverage a band needs on the road: cancellation for the money at risk when a covered event cancels a show, coverage for gear in transit, and liability for the venues that ask for it. SongSure builds it around your dates.
For full tour cancellation coverage, see Tour cancellation insurance.
