Get Them To The Greek: Transportation Special (Hub)

In motion. On the move. Around the world and back again. A concert can be anywhere but a tour is — by definition — a multi-stop journey for not only performers but their crew, gear and sometimes even their fans.

Pollstar’s annual Transportation Special continues to cover the business of moving people and things – from small van tours to large global tours, which Pollstar chronicles every day of every year. These precision operations are set up and torn down on strict timelines and involve dozens of stakeholders and skilled individuals.

Much more than getting from point A to point B, Pollstar hopes to shed some light, and move the needle, on the transportation sector of the industry, which includes everything from bus transport to shipping containers taking freight across large bodies of water to private planes getting VIPs on stage on time.

Pollstar also recognizes the importance and priority of artists, tours and venues in striving to make the movement of tours more sustainable, spotlighting efforts to keep the touring industry as green as possible while on the road and on the stage.
