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.

Lots of semi trucks and personnel. Taylor Swift has a reported 90 trucks for her Eras tour.
Singers voices do get fatigued though, it’s not rare for a singer/band to pause their tour (Paramore just paused theirs as Hayley has a lung infection). Depends on the genre/style too, if you aren’t belting lyrics then there’s less strain, also matters how loud they are actually singing when they have a backup track playing (the female pop stars who do lots of choreo don’t really sing much during those segments).
