touring musicians

Artists on tour

Touring musicians are performers who travel from place to place giving concerts, as opposed to those who remain in a fixed location like a house band or orchestra.

The touring life involves constant movement between cities or countries: The touring musicians lived out of suitcases for months.

The term often implies a grueling schedule and life on the road.
