Waterboys Tour Merch Management

Gaining Ground Group are excited to announce our recent partnership with the legendary band, The Waterboys. As part of this exciting collaboration, we have taken on the responsibility of managing their touring merchandise operations and ecommerce rights. Having successfully executed these duties throughout their European tour earlier this year, we are gearing up to continue this operation during The Waterboys' highly anticipated UK tour in October. 

Tim Bowers, Gaining Ground’s VP Product Management, explained that with the business taking charge of The Waterboy’s touring merchandise and ecommerce operations “... this represents our comprehensive business model that encompasses all aspects of the merch offering”. He goes on to explain that “By controlling the entire process, from production to distribution, we "close the loop" and ensure a seamless and cohesive experience for both the band and their fans. This approach allows us to maintain quality control, maximize efficiency, and provide an enhanced fan experience that aligns with our vision of managing every aspect of the merchandise journey.” This ensures The Waterboys can focus on creating and performing while trusting us to handle their merch operations and keeping fans satisfied.
