Post about your gig on socials (insta/ facebook/ twitter). If it's a ticketed show, make sure you have a link to buy tickets in your instagram bio. You can house multiple links in your insta bio by signing up to linktr.ee/
Send an email to your fan database. Let them know about the shows! If they've supported you before, they're likely to support you again.
In the lead up to the shows, make sure you're posting weekly in your facebook events. You might like to post a music video, press interviews, announcement about the supports or anything you like really! You've got a captive audience, so talk to them!
Make sure at the very least, the venue/s have announced the tour on their socials. If they can put up posters in venue, that's great too!
