Tours! Artist are always on tour, or at least the ones who actually care about their music and fans, so it is important to have a page with the dates and places of their shows, this makes it much easier for fans to find tickets. This page will often redirect the user to ticket selling sites such as Ticketmaster.com and others.
today any atist out there have their own merch. This generates more income for them and also more attention because having their name and faces plastered on t-shirts and tote bags creates publicity within ordinary places.
The store page within the website usually redirects to the actual store with the merch. Here it's nothing fancy, just the products separated into categories (clothing, accessory, bags, etc) and their prices. Artists usually create bundles where various products are sold together, usually as deluxe products or limited editions, for a cheaper price.
The websites also promotes and sell the artist's music and videos. They have up-to-date informaation on the latest music video and album details. Here you can see the artist's porfolio of work collaborations and extra projects.
The pages will fit in with the theme of the whole website but it might be more simple to the other pages and only really have the the videos and their tittles. This allocates all the attention to the videos because more Youtube views never hurt nobody!
You always want o see great pictures of your favourite musician, so there's a page dedicated just to that. Here are compilations of theirphotos over the last few days, weeks and months where they promote their new albums or are just meeting fans (which makes them look a bit more humane). there will be pictures from various ocasions and location.
The news page gives lots of information on where the artist and has been going on. It also gives information on where they have appeared on the press and their shows. It Keeps track of the artists success and where they will be performning or making an appereance e.g on TV shows, other musician's shows and more.
Main pages are bold and very clear at stating who the artist is. They usually have the colour/s predominently used by the artist. The font is exceptionally large and there are obvious pages named in the top menu bar.

The whole story is not present. you usually see the firts paragraph but there is a button with a link to another site, where you can read the whole story.
Colours are simple so not to distract the viewer from getting overwelmed.
