Gig Tripping: Named the best city for visiting music concerts and festivals
The growing popularity of "Gig Tripping" - traveling to attend concerts and festivals - has prompted experts to identify the best places for this tourist trend. After in-depth analysis, it was determined that Glasgow in Scotland can rightfully be considered the best place in the world to enjoy live music.
Thanks to the large number of bars with singers or bands, music arenas, festivals, concerts, and affordable hotel prices, Glasgow has beaten the fierce competition and taken the first place in the ranking. The list was compiled by experts from Planet Cruise, as reported by The Scottish Sun.
The Scottish city can be proud of its 7.02 live music bars per 100,000 people, 4.31 music arenas, and an impressive 61.94 concerts per 100,000 residents.
The variety of genres - from rock to folk to jazz - makes Glasgow a music lover's paradise.
Festivals and iconic events, such as the two-day Glasgow Pride with its parade and concerts, as well as performances by international stars such as Nicki Minaj and Liam Gallagher, which are expected this year, make Glasgow even more attractive to tourists from all over the world.
The average price for a hotel room in Glasgow is about £120, which allows travelers of all budgets to find overnight accommodations.
The top five cities in the ranking also include Lyon (France), Zurich (Switzerland), Oslo (Norway), and Marseille (France).
As previously reported by TravelWise, in 2024, Gig Tripping became a bright trend among both travelers and music lovers.
