Road touring date snapped up by rock group — good place to make money (2,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

el dorado

'good place to make money' is the definition.
(mythical land of gold)

'road touring date snapped up by rock group' is the wordplay.
'touring' indicates anagramming the letters (touring can mean moving around).
'date' becomes 'd' (common abbreviation eg in DOB, date of birth).
'snapped up by' indicates putting letters inside.
'rock group' becomes 'elo' (Electric Light Orchestra).
'road' anagrammed gives 'dora'.
'dora'+'d'='dorad'
'dorad' inserted into 'elo' is 'EL DORADO'.

(Other definitions for el dorado that I've seen before include "Land of great wealth" , "Place promising great wealth" , "Famed place of wealth" , "Place of fabulous opportunity" , "Mythical city of gold" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
