</div>

What if I misspell the artist name?

If the artist name doesn’t match our artist name, you’ll likely get a response that the artist has no tours. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you spelled the artist’s name wrong;

Can this widget also be used for sports teams?

Yes! You can add a sports team (e.g. “Boston Red Sox”) instead of an artist
