Anybody can look up the big concert arenas in any city to see what big mainstream acts are in town, but it takes real insider info to find the small tucked-away venues where the really great live music takes place. Unless you happen to have friends in every big city, that info is hard to find.
Skyscanner, one of the world’s best travel apps, has made those friends for you and created curated deep-dives into the music scenes of New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Berlin, and Manchester. Skyscanner’s collaboration with Exceptional Alien, a platform featuring a global community of inspiring creators who love travel, has resulted in immersive guides with the insider expertise of a local artist who knows what’s hot and where to find it.
Your Own Tour Guides
The Skyscanner x Exceptional Alien insider’s guides are like finding a cool local musician who’s totally plugged into the scene and is willing to take you to all the very best live-music spots. Except that sort of devoted tour guide would likely cost you an arm and a leg, while Skyscanner’s guides are free and accessible to all.
Better still, by partnering with Exceptional Alien, Skyscanner has created the best possible one-stop-shopping experience for live music-themed excursions. Once you decide where you want to spend your musical adventure, all the tools you need to find the best prices on airfare, hotels, and car rental are right there on Skyscanner’s easy-to-use booking module.
Detailed research and planning like this usually requires hours and hours of legwork and a million open tabs on your laptop or phone. Now with Skyscanner’s collaboration with Exceptional Alien, all the information and resources you need to plan and book an exciting journey filled with the best live music are in one convenient spot.
All the Local Flavor
Each of the five Skyscanner x Exceptional Alien music guides feature a local artist with a bio featuring their background, their work, and their insights into their home city and how living there inspires their work. They pick out their favorite venues — most of which are hidden and almost totally unaccessible to anyone who doesn’t live and breathe the local scene — and explain what makes those places great and why you need to check them out.
From there Skyscanner handles the rest — detailed interactive maps, great hotel information, and other hidden gems located near the venues chosen by Exceptional Alien’s resident experts. From there, booking is a cinch when you use Skyscanner’s search and booking engine. It’s your ticket to experience the hottest local music in five of the world’s biggest cities.
