you dont. in fact, most bands that play as opening acts are actually unsigned and it is usually how most are discovered and become famous. you have to have good connections to book an opening act, but usually after a number of gigs you will get record label offers.

Emi/Parlaphone in Britain July 20, 1967. Intresting to note the original Magical Mystery Tour album was two ep's and not a full sized LP. The American version was released as a LP with additional singles to fill out the album. The british ep changed to the American configuration LP in 1976
Well, honey, getting your band signed to a record label is like trying to catch a unicorn – it ain't easy. You gotta hustle, network like your life depends on it, and most importantly, have killer music that sets you apart from the sea of wannabes. Oh, and a sprinkle of luck wouldn't hurt either. Good luck, kid.

As of my last update, Gary Allan's opening act for his tour was not specifically mentioned. Opening acts can vary by location and date, so it's best to check the official tour schedule or Gary Allan's website for the most current information regarding his tour lineup.
The opening acts are B.o.B. and fun.
Christian rock bands are usually offered the chance to tour to open for secular bands. They are paid more to do this. However, most Christian bands refuse the offer to open for secular bands. However, Skillet did not. Skillet was also signed by a secular label called Lava, that also allows them to tour with secular bands.
