Life on tour is an exceptional state. Lack of sleep, high pressure, irregular meals, and constant travel – it’s an intense strain on both body and mind. But who actually takes care of the health of artists and their crews?

Moderated by Rosalie Ernst (Zwischen Zwei und Vier), touring doctors Dr. Sriskantharajah Arun-Castro (RoadieMedic), Dr. Jochen Habsch (Jochen Habsch Eventmedizin), and Julia Frank (tour and production manager) discuss the physical and mental challenges faced by performers on tour. From exhaustion, sleep deprivation, and chronic pain to psychological strain that often remains invisible – they share how medical care can be integrated into touring life, the importance of preventive approaches, and why a comprehensive health strategy is long overdue. This conversation sheds light on the realities of health on the road and explores how medical and organizational support can help artists and crews stay healthy and perform at their best in the long run.
