About
Where Music Meets Travel
LiveMusicGetaways.com was born from a simple truth: some of life’s most memorable experiences happen when great music and great travel come together. We’re passionate music lovers who found ourselves constantly planning trips around concerts, festivals, and performances—and we realized there was no comprehensive resource to help fellow music travelers make the most of their journeys.
Our Story
The idea for LiveMusicGetaways sparked during a road trip to Bonnaroo in 2019. After spending hours researching where to stay, eat, and what to do between sets, our founders—Jamie, Marcus, and Sophia—realized that planning the “everything else” around a music event was often as time-consuming as choosing which acts to see.
What began as a shared spreadsheet between friends quickly evolved into a passion project. By 2023, we’d built a community of music travelers sharing tips and recommendations. In early 2024, we launched LiveMusicGetaways.com as a dedicated platform for connecting music fans with everything they need to transform a concert ticket into a complete travel experience.
What We Offer
LiveMusicGetaways provides comprehensive resources for music-focused travelers:
Venue Guides
Detailed information about concert venues across the country, from legendary spaces like Red Rocks Amphitheatre to hidden gem clubs in music-rich neighborhoods. Our guides include seating tips, acoustic sweet spots, parking information, and historical context.
City Guides for Music Lovers
Music-focused travel guides for cities with vibrant scenes. We cover where to stay, eat, drink, and explore between shows, with recommendations that connect to the local music culture.
Festival Planning Resources
Everything you need to prepare for multi-day music events, from packing lists to accommodation options, transportation tips, and survival guides.
Concert Travel Packages
Curated travel packages built around major tours and festivals in 2025 and beyond. We partner with local businesses to create experiences that go beyond just the show.
Community Reviews
Real experiences from fellow music travelers who share insights about venues, nearby accommodations, and hidden gems you won’t find in standard travel guides.
Our Approach
What makes LiveMusicGetaways different is our music-first approach to travel. While most travel sites might mention a city’s music scene as an afterthought, we put it front and center. We understand that:
- The ideal hotel for a concert-goer might be different than for a typical tourist
- Dining recommendations need to consider pre-show and late-night options
- Transportation matters differently when you’re planning around concert times
- Music travelers want experiences that complement the shows they’re seeing
Our team personally visits venues, stays in the accommodations we recommend, and attends the festivals we cover. We don’t just aggregate information—we experience it firsthand and share insights you won’t find elsewhere.
Our Values
Authenticity
We only recommend what we’ve personally experienced or what has been thoroughly vetted by trusted members of our community. No paid listings or sponsored recommendations without clear disclosure.
Inclusivity
We believe live music is for everyone, and we strive to provide information about accessibility, safety, and comfort for all types of travelers.
Community
We’re building more than a website—we’re cultivating a community of like-minded music travelers who share tips and experiences.
Sustainability
We promote responsible music tourism that supports local economies and minimizes environmental impact.
