Default Longest You Traveled To See A Concert (when that was the trip's main purpose)

I added the "main purpose of the trip" because it's a bit unfair to say "I went to visit my cousin in Australia and we decided to see a concert after I got there."

In my case, the distance was 367 miles from my home in the Cincinnati area to the Lincoln Theater in Marion, Virginia to see a live taping of the PBS music show Song Of The Mountain. That beat my previous record of 200-plus miles to Chicago to see The Fall.

Royal Oak (Michigan) is only 3 hours from my house but I had to drive 90 minutes to pick somebody up and it was 4 hours to Royal Oak from their house. I did divide the trip up but it was a couple long days of driving and I would do it all over again to see another show by Sparks.

I was a passenger for a road trip to Wilmington (DE) to see the Dead Milkmen. That was 6.5 hours. However, it may have been a concert only trip for me but it was a business trip/concert trip for the driver.

If it was a concert only trip for you, that's what counts. IMHO, the Dead Milkmen are worth such a trip. I was lucky to see them in Cincinnati back in the day. I'm glad they's reformed. I wouldn't mind seeing them again sometime.

I saw them two years ago at a club called 'The Queen'. Very odd show!

I travelled three hours to Hickory, NC on August 30, 2000 for a concert.

God bless you always!!!

P.S. I travelled five hours to Cincinnati Ohio on September 29, 1997 for a concert that took place the next day.
