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

939 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 touring life is no joke, weather your a stagehand, in the band, or Eqing the set. It’s very stressful with a lot of deadlines. Most people who go on tour with a band make pretty good money. My buddy was a main lighting technician for a semi popular group and said your basically on the road about 8 months of the year. Your constantly working so you never really spend your money since they give you daily money for food and whatever. He was making almost about 90 grand a year doing that. The bus life is not for everyone.
