Sirah – TOUR TIPS

This new set of Tour Tips was written by the hip-hop/pop artist, Sirah! She is currently on the road with Icona Pop. You can check out her tips for being on the road, after the break.

1. Roll with the punches- If you’re on tour something if not everything will go wrong at some point. You just have to ride it out, whether it’s bad sound, broken down vans, bad promoters etc.

2. Dry shampoo- This is legit my best friend on tour. It depends on how you tour but I’ve done many an underground tour where you’re lucky to shower let alone wash your hair. Dry shampoo holds me down.

3. Wi-fi- Where there is wi-fi there is hope. When you find it DL books/movies etc because you’ll have a lot of free time where distraction is necessary. You can’t take having the Internet for granted, the tour gods know.

4. Perspective is key- Obviously being trapped in a vehicle with multiple people can sometimes get intense. Touring is one of the most fun/lonely experiences in life. If you allow yourself to get annoyed/bored/lonely etc. you have to flip it stat and remember you’re living the dream. I’ve seen a lot of people forget why they’re there.

5. Always wear sunscreen- I just wanted to pay homage to Baz Luhrmann but also it’s a good look. Getting sunburnt and sleeping in a bunk is a brutal way to live (shout out to warped tour).
