ABOUT THE HIDDEN GEMS OF
MUSIC TOURISM
Created by Sound Diplomacy, Hidden Gems of Music Tourism is a global guide to discovering the world's most authentic music destinations, one city at a time.
Released in volumes, each release is a curated collection of one-day music itineraries, each crafted by a local Sonic Gem Seeker who knows their city's music scene inside out. Think less tourist guide, more music-obsessed friend showing you around their hometown.

WRITE A LOVE LETTER TO THE MUSIC SCENE OF YOUR CITY
In 2026, Music Tourism can no longer be considered a niche—it's a global movement reshaping how destinations attract visitors, generate revenue, and build cultural identity.
However, Music Tourism is much more than people travelling to other cities to enjoy the concerts of their favourite artists. Music tourism is about understanding a city's DNA through its music scenes and connecting with the people who are part of them.
That is what the Hidden Gems is all about, and we want you to be part of it. Join our community of sonic gem seekers and help curate the world’s most comprehensive music itinerary magazine.
