There\u2019s a palpable thrill in experiencing your favorite artists in a room (or stadium) full of fans. In 2023 live music has roared back with a vengeance, and creatively dazzling blockbuster tours are inspiring an unprecedented wave of fans traveling to unexpected\u2014and often far-flung\u2014destinations, powering the phenomenon known as Tour Tourism.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-one-key-storytelling-toolkit-collage-breaker one-key-fade\"><div class=\"one-key-block-container\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Tourism-640x640.jpg\"\/><figcaption role=\"textbox\">In 2024, people will be on the move for music<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Tour-Tourism-Image-2-640x640.jpg\"\/><figcaption role=\"textbox\">Festivals are now a key part of the travel calendar<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\">Behind the boom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have seen less of them on tour, but musicians weren\u2019t exactly putting their feet up during the pandemic. As well as staging ingenious livestreams, a couple of quiet years gave artists the chance for a creative reset. So, when the concert industry bounced back, it did so with freshly thought-out shows that delivered the euphoric highs of the live experience. \u201cFans missed out on years of live music,\u201d one tour industry expert tells us. \u201cNow, we are slowly working through the backlog of artist tours; fans are keen to see their favorite stars perform once more.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\">The Swift effect<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to high demand and prices in some major cities, it\u2019s no longer a given that superfans will be seeing their favorite star in their nearest city. Curiosity for new experiences and burgeoning appetites for travel have led to Taylor Swift\u2019s tour becoming an industry unto itself.<br><br>\u201cWith the wild demand for concert tickets, fans are making savvy financial choices by choosing shows that are off the beaten path for concerts,\u201d says Daniel Finch, Managing Director of Expedia Brands. Over 60%* of those surveyed say they are more likely than ever to travel to a concert outside their hometown.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Tour-Tourism-Image-3-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5106\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Crossing continents to be a part of the crowd<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\">Superfan bragging rights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting on a plane to see a concert may previously have seemed like an out-of-reach extravagance. Yet travel deals to affordable destinations have piqued the interest of savvy music lovers\u2014destinations like <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.au\/Kuala-Lumpur-Hotels.d180008.Travel-Guide-Hotels\">Kuala Lumpur<\/a>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.au\/Edmonton-Hotels.d180002.Travel-Guide-Hotels\">Edmonton<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.au\/Warsaw-Hotels.d178317.Travel-Guide-Hotels\">Warsaw<\/a> are on the tour itineraries of the world\u2019s biggest artists, but offer hotel rooms for less than AU$238 a night on average (see sidebar).

The price tracking feature on <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.au\/app\">Expedia\u2019s app<\/a> also makes booking these flights as cost-effective as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\">Beyond the usual headliners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Artists with a more cult appeal are also enjoying a renaissance and staging more affordable shows in unusual locations. American fans traveled to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.au\/London-Hotels.d178279.Travel-Guide-Hotels\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">London<\/a> for a performance by goth legend Siouxsie Sioux in an East End music hall this summer\u2014part of her first run of shows for a decade.

Fans traveled from as far afield as Japan and The Netherlands, proving that even relatively lower-profile artists can be a potent spur to travel, and that smaller shows can give you more flexibility in your travel budget. So if you\u2019re exploring Tour Tourism, look for less obvious artists.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\">The future of tour tourism <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With global tours from the world\u2019s biggest acts in the pipeline, music tourism is set to rise next year.
