I toured with noname punk and electro bands all over europe. They def make more money on tour than anything else and all of them have a network of free places to crash run by local artists, they borrow local gear so you dont have to pay for logistics, and the venues feed you on top of payout end of the night. Never did any come back broke a typical tour youd make $1-6k per show, plus around $1200 in merch, then do 20 shows while partying for free everyday at crash pads. Split that 4 ppl you go on a 3mos vacation to europe and return with $9-15k each which is pretty good income for a college band thats going back to school in sept. If you lose money touring youre doing it wrong
