Eli5: How are large bands able to move from one city to another so quickly?

967 views

It just occurred to me when I saw a band on tour go from Connecticut on the 20th to South Carolina today the 29th while playing at various venues between the two states.

Like logistically it’s insane to me plus how are the singers voices not burnt?

12 hours later: Thanks everyone! Absolutely fascinating for sure, especially the Wendover YouTube links. Didn’t know that channel existed.

The really big acts have two or three stage sets that are leap-froggin’ over each other from location to location.

While one stage is running a show the other is on the road or already building up the next venue.

Plus very skilled and hardworking crews who have the building up and tearing down of those huge meccano sets perfected as an art.
