Music tourism is the act of visiting a city or town to see a music festival or other performances. This sort of tourism is particularly important to small villages such as Glastonbury, as well as bigger cities like Glasgow. The fairly recent jam band phenomenon is a contemporary example that encourages music tourism. Music festivals are attended by many tourists annually. Taylor Swift's Eras Tour and Coldplay's Music of the Spheres World Tour are prominent instances of music tourism with their impact on global economy.[1][2][3]
The Artful Music Tourist Board movement, started by musicians at London's Paradise Bar (now Royal Albert Pub) in 2003, celebrates the phenomenon.
