Abstract
The planning of concert tours can be a challenging process which requires a large amount of data to be analyzed. The greatest profit cannot be obtained only by maximizing the expected number of visitors. However, most of the organizers mainly focus on that part of planning. To achieve the maximum profit possible, organizers must include other data in their analysis. Social media play a powerful role in music industry. Most of the mentioned data can be found online on social media like Facebook, YouTube or Instagram. Such data can be found in analytic sections of fan or event pages. In this paper, algorithms for tour planning have been introduced by using above mentioned data. Proposed algorithms are based on heuristic methods such as simulated annealing and genetic algorithm. A clustering based method is also implemented. Aforementioned algorithms were tested on real-world instances from Facebook fan page analytics and use number of fans and distance between cities.
