An unforgettable world tour like U2’s 360 degree tour or The Rolling Stones’ A Bigger Bang is put together by the efforts of hundreds of people, right from artists and managers to roadies and logistics staff. The elaborate stages, lights and other equipment, constitute the skeleton of these larger than life performances. They too travel the world with the artist over the course of the touring period.
Logistical feasibility is one of the major deciding factors of creating a tour schedule. Even the legendary rock band KISS didn’t tour in Australia until 1980, because it wasn’t logistically cost effective enough for them in the 70’s.
