For the vast majority of bands the record company makes no money out of gigs. Often if a band is small then record companies will help fund the first couple of tours and at this point the label will have a significant degree of influence but once the band have paid this money back (which is definitely the case with the manics) then the band are the only ones making money out of tours then it really is all in the bands control. They will usually co-ordinate with the label out of a courtesy and a shared interest. Album promotion sells tours and tours help to sell albums.

I can't see Sony or MSP making anything out of this tour. It's not like the band are actually promoting anything... NT was released last year and the only real bit of promo they did was the one off NT gig. Playing small venues will hardly bring in the millions that an arena tour inevitably could. Personally, I feel the band still enjoy playing gigs but just don't wanna bother with the same old UK venues for a little while, which is fair enough as it has been pretty much non stop here since 2007.
