Peter Frampton: 55 million streams and I got paid $1700

Mr. Blue Sky said

$30k-$45k per year?? I think you’re referring to supporting musicians who play concerts on the road with established bands, right? I mean, if lets say, youre one of the founding members of Coldplay or Nickelback or something, why would you even subject yourself to the rigors of touring for under $50k per year?

It really depends on how the business of the tour is set up. The artists that have their own production company and keep it all in house (and sell a lot of tickets) can do very well. But if they're basically just talent employed by a tour production company, they don't end up making that much . . . depends on how much leverage they have (how well known they are).
