Rayburn TOurs
  Rayburn Tours makes sure your budget as well as your music objectives are met

Rayburn Tours have launched their 'Budget-Friendly' Band Tours for 2017 and beyond — and not surprisingly there are some fantastic bargains to be had alongside memorable performance experiences in exciting new venues.

So whether you head to the South Coast for a weekend of summer concert performances or hop across the channel to Belgium or Normandy, Rayburn Tours can create a tour that matches your performance objectives and your budget.

Budget-friendly Belgium:

Belgium is a brilliant budget-friendly option for bands looking to tour abroad. Keep the costs down and travel by coach, enjoying the added bonus of being able to journey between Bruges, Ghent and Ypres with ease and see more of this beautiful country.

Not so pricey Normandy:

A popular close to home and budget-friendly option, Normandy is a hidden band tour gem! With lively bandstands dotted along the coastline, it is also suitable for any type of ensemble!

Stay local!

With so many fantastic venues across the country, why not make the most of home turf?

Keeping things local is a great idea for a short concert tour getaway. Often the first stepping stone to an international tour, a local weekend break in London, Edinburgh or Cornwall will give your band a taste of touring and set you up for more adventures to come!
