About Travel 2 Concert

WHAT IS Travel 2 Concert?

Travel 2 Concert is a bilingual website (Portuguese and English) created by cultural journalists Priscila Roque and Rafael Boro, both with over 20 years of experience in journalism, interviews, and live music coverage around the world.
The project was born out of their passion for music and travel, and from the desire to provide a reliable, professional guide for those who dream of combining these two passions.

LAUNCH

Travel 2 Concert was launched on July 13, 2024—a meaningful and symbolic date: World Rock Day.

OUR MISSION

We are specialists in music tourism, focusing on the history of rock and heavy metal. Our mission is to inspire fans not only to travel for concerts and festivals, but also to explore the places that preserve rock’s legacy: legendary venues, historic bars, record stores, museums, memorials, and iconic landmarks.

We believe that traveling through music also means preserving the history of rock and metal worldwide. Our values guide everything we do:

 

  • Preserve history: connecting fans to places that shaped rock.
  • Immersive experiences: transforming travel into a personal and sensory journey.
  • Community: bringing people together through rock and metal.
  • Practical tips and inspiration: helping fans fulfill the dream of traveling for concerts.
  • Music as identity: recognizing rock and heavy metal as transformative forces in our lives.

RED BIRD: OUR COMMUNITY SYMBOL

Our logo features two birds in flight, one black and one red, connected by a line representing a heartbeat.

 

The birds are inspired by the blackbird, a melodious singer rich in meaning in popular culture. In pairs, they symbolize peace and good fortune.

 

Our inspiration comes from two songs:

 

  • Blackbird by The Beatles, where the bird’s song is part of the recording.

  • Blackbird by Alter Bridge, featuring a powerful solo by Myles Kennedy and Mark Tremonti (both of whom play PRS guitars, traditionally adorned with flying bird inlays along the fretboard).

At Travel 2 Concert, these birds become the Red Birds: fans who, like us, travel in search of great music, feel their hearts race at shows, and help keep the history of rock alive.
