Emerging as a key travel trend in recent years, so-called \u201cgig-tripping\u201d is on the rise, thanks to a growing number of international festivals and the huge success of world tours from the likes of Taylor Swift<\/a>, Coldplay, Beyonc\u00e9 and Oasis. <\/p>\n

These days, music fans don\u2019t just want to book a ticket to watch their favourite acts in their home towns or countries. They are ready to pack their bags (and\/or guitar), plug in their earphones, choose the playlist, and then hit the road for an international tour of their own. <\/p>\n

According to data from Skyscanner<\/a>, around 60% of travellers would consider going abroad for a concert or festival, while more than half of Gen Z and millennials are planning music-related trips. <\/p>\n

The wider music tourism market is also booming, with Forbes<\/a> calling it \u201cone of the biggest travel trends\u201d and industry estimates suggesting it could grow from around $100 billion in 2025 to more than $400 billion by 2032. <\/p>\n

Music tourism<\/a> \u201cisn\u2019t just a cultural trend\u201d, it\u2019s an \u201ceconomic force\u201d, wrote Justin Reid, Senior Director of Global Partnerships Solutions of Tripadvisor in Advertising Week<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s reshaping travel and changing the ways consumers are choosing to spend their money.\u201d<\/p>\n

A roadmap for music tourism<\/h3>\n

Against this chart-topping popularity, a new US-based platform, Music Roadtrip<\/a>, is tapping into the rise of the trend by turning gig-tripping into fully curated travel experiences.<\/p>\n

Launched in early 2026, Music Roadtrip is a free app<\/a> that offers a map-based way to explore destinations through their musical identity. It brings together more than 100,000 concerts, festivals and live music events alongside venues, record stores and cultural landmarks.<\/p>\n

Users can build itineraries that go beyond the headline concert \u2013 incorporating stops at iconic venues, artist-related sites, music museums and even album cover locations. <\/p>\n

The app also integrates practical travel tools, including ticket access, dining and nightlife recommendations, and transport options, allowing users to plan entire trips around a single show or festival. <\/p>\n

A plus for travellers seeking more from their musical trip, curated local guides highlight the best music-focused experiences in each destination, from historic recording studios to live shows from up-and-coming local artists. <\/p>\n

For now, Music Roadtrip is just focused on destinations across the US, but as music tourism and gig-tripping continues its global growth, fans could soon see it topping the app charts in their own countries around the world.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
