This kind of goes for just about any band as most bands I see live will sweat quite a bit while on stage regardless of what they’re wearing. How do bands that travel from city to city without much stopping get their clothes cleaned for each show, especially if they have multiple costumes/clothes they wear on stage?

The show will have multiple copies of every outfit. Plus big shows have an extensive staff, roadies and wardrobe being the big ones. Wardrobe is going to be responsible for cleaning and setting up clothing. Plus part of their responsibilities will be finding laundry services when the tour is being scheduled. So the show finishes up for the night, the performers strip off, change into their comfy clothes and the laundry is picked up by wardrobe and then cleaned and shipped so it catches up with the tour before it is needed again. Or on a smaller tour, Wardrobe takes the clothing and has it laundered that night and delivered to the hotel before the band is up and ready to go the next morning. So there is a laundry service that has been contracted to stay open late, do all of that laundry and get it delivered before a certain time (so the laundry gets on the tour bus).
Its like one of the last Rolling Stones Tours. They had at least three stages for the tour. The one being built, the one being used and the one being broken down so it could be shipped and then set up again. These big shows have a huge staff that comes in advance to set up and stays afterwards to break down.
