Love Travelling for Music? We’ve Got You Covered

People travel for different reasons: learning about different cultures, snapping photos, discovering food… or the music experience. If you’re one of us “weirdos” who don’t shy away from an exciting music pilgrimage, you’ll love our latest platform upgrades.

Here’s the thing about travel and music: you can’t get enough of either. At least that’s the case with our team. To our delight (and occasional eyeroll from our families), we don’t have the slightest problem plotting our entire overseas holiday around a gig that we simply can’t miss.

Here’s the farthest each team member has travelled specifically to attend a music gig.

Discover countries through music

When we were outlining the latest platform upgrades, we shared stories of such travels and discoveries. I remembered how surprised I was to discover that an artist I like is from Belgium, so I started browsing other Belgian artists, finding out what kind of music’s popular and/or traditional there, what the club scene’s like, which festivals are out there… and before I knew it, I had spent a good half hour looking at a country through a music lens, absorbing interesting facts, and really considering visiting soon.

And just like that, a new discovery option presented itself.

New: search by country, city, or even subgenre

Any Salsa festivals around? You bet. Upcoming Garage Rock gigs in Austria? We got you. Anything you might be interested in, it’s there.

Simply type in, say, Belgium, and we’ll show you the country’s biggest music stars, the hottest videos being watched right now, the artists performing next month, venues and festivals you shouldn’t miss… Just about everything music-related, including the most popular genres and subgenres.

Let your music preferences guide you, and get some additional tips while you’re at it.

Plan your festival visit with these new features

If you were browsing popular subgenres in a specific country, and got to clicking on related festivals, there’s a good chance you decided on crossing a specific one off your bucket list this summer.

Now you can discover all its perks and highlights, while your inner overthinker can be reassured about the amenities and nearby accommodation options. Thanks to our new accommodation feature, the map and search options with correct festival dates are already displayed, while additional filters such as pricing, accommodation type, and reviews are all ready for your clicking pleasure.

Everything’s here except your travel checklist.

Discover new stuff that you’ll like

All the upgraded search functions are also perfect for just casually spending time and discovering new artists in your favorite subgenre, and stumbling upon interesting events coming up near you. Just don’t tell your boss it was us who gave you the idea if you’re caught browsing during work hours.
