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

789 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.

Singers get tired, but its possible to sing 5-7 nights a week depending on how rough you are on your vocal chords.

Some people exercise 7 days a week. Not much different.

As long as the artist knows their limitations and stays within them, it’s not that bad. I used to sing casually at open mics and private events for friends, and there were a few songs I’ll sing that push my vocal range. If I’m not careful I’ll often find myself discomforted after. I’ll often save them for the end of a set because of that. If I were performing regularly, I’d cut those songs or sing them in a different key.
