Longest you've travelled to see a show?
 

Next year, Radiohead are doing an Australian tour. Although i wish the bands would stop fucking saying Australian tour and just say East Coast of Australia tour. Cause they never come over here!

Anyway, Radiohead and Tool are my favourite bands atm, and i saw tool in May 2002. Now i just want to see Radiohead, who haven't come to Australia since 1998. What a fucking joke.

I was lucky enought ot get tickets and i am now at the extreme measure of flying over with my brothers or one of my brother and someone else to see them in Melbourne next year.

So i am going across Australia to see them and this'll be the longest i've travelled ever. I was wondering if anyone else has ever travelled quite long way just to see one of your favourite bands or concert experiences?

Should be a great concert though. Since they're only doing 2 shows in Australia, maybe they'll play for 5 hours. Fingers crossed :p

I once travelled 3 hours by coach to see The Wu Tang Clan in Gasgow, only to find out at the door that the show had been cancelled.

Also when I was 14 years old I took a train (by myself) to Liverpool to see The Stone Roses. That was a voyage of discovery more than a great distance travelled.

longest i've traveled is about 4 hours to see metallica in seattle.

I took the train to NYC to see Dashboard Confessional last May. About 3 hours from here. Then in September I drove to Boston to see them again, another 3 hours.

I drove from Houston Texas to Kansas City, Missouri to see They Might Be Giants. I can't remember for sure, but the drive was about 14 hours. It was totally worth it.

3 hours to see Killswitch Engage
3 hours to see Lynryd Skynyrd/ZZ Top
3 hours to see System of a Down
6 hours for Mitch Hedberg/Lewis Black/Dave Attel

A couple of times I went up to the Big Day Out music fest in Auckland, its just under 1000 km's from Wellington to Auckland.

The first time I drove up, that took maybe about 12 hours. Then last year I caught the plane, and that took just over 45 minutes.

about 9 hours to go to the Cornerstone music festival.
worth every minute of travel time.

longest i have traveled was flying down to brisbane to see the big day out this year. i hate the fact that most of the over seas bands dont come up here, and neithe rdo some of the australian ones

Washington DC, at the 9:30 club to see Andrew WK - Lostprophets.... outstanding show (even though I don't like AWK), that trip made from Long Island, approx. 5 hour drive one way. SEVEN hour drive upstate to Woodstock '99, but that was due to traffic, not distance.

Once drove from New Orleans to Dallas to see Genesis.

12 hour trip to las vegas to a big music festival called ska summit. best show of my life

I followed Roger Waters on part of his tour a couple of years ago. I drove from Davenport, Iowa to Chicago for show 1, then to Cincinnati, then to Washington DC to pick up a friend, then to NYC at MSG, then back south to Virginia at The Nissan Pavillion, we were then supposed to go to North Carolina, but that show got cancelled.

I regularly make trips to Madison, Wisconsin (3 1/2 hours), Chicago (3 hours), Des Moines, Iowa (3 hours), or St Louis (5 hours) to see shows that don't come here. Luckily I've got friends I can crash with usually.

Half an hour to see a local band :|

Asta!!

2 hours to see Stretch Armstrong. I don't think i'd travel anymore than 3

2 hours to see red hot chili peppers
2 hours to see incubus
2 hours to see radiohead
