Los Campesinos! publish their tour accounts: an 11-date North American run lost money until the merch table
Los Campesinos! itemised every cost of their 2024 North American tour. On ticket income alone the 11 shows lost about £2,000; merch turned that into a profit of roughly £38,000, which pays for the band's next project, not wages. That is why venue merch cuts decide whether tours like this work.
