Music Roadies often work long and irregular hours, including nights, weekends, and holidays, as their schedules revolve around rehearsals, performances, and event setups. Extensive travel is common, with tours requiring roadies to be away from home for days, weeks, or months at a time. Roadies are typically part of a collaborative crew that works together to load in, set up, troubleshoot, and load out equipment before and after each show. Flexibility with both hours and travel is essential, as schedules can change quickly to accommodate artists’ needs, venues, and tour routing.
