There was a time when seeing your idols live was a matter of chance—crossing your fingers that they would include your city in their tour. But with the way we consume music evolving—from streaming every new release to witnessing the rise of global fan communities—it’s clear that how fans “follow” their favorites has also shifted.

From dedicated Swifties following the Eras Tour across continents to hip-hop enthusiasts heading to Rolling Loud in Thailand or chasing K-pop comebacks in Seoul, concert and festival-goers have transformed into global travelers with a clear mission. Planning trips around headliners’ schedules has become a way of life, turning music into a top source of travel inspiration.
