Logistics makes it possible for us to go on tour
"We tour through the world"
They are members of one of the most successful German bands. Bill and Tom Kaulitz from Tokio Hotel. The twins perform with their band mates Georg and Gustav worldwide. In this they experience a lot - even in traffic and logistics.
planet-beruf: For your performances you're on tour a lot. What do you take with you?
Tom: Mainly we have clothes and instruments. But it depends, how long we're away from home. On the latest tour we were on the road three months straight and everyone of us had about ten suitcases. So, on long travels we take along up to 40 suitcases. Bill always has the most suitcases!
planet-beruf: When you're on tour, you're almost all the time together. How does living together work in such little space?
Bill: Well, on the latest tour it worked surprisingly well. I had expected that we annoy each other way more. But it only came to that at the last show in Paris. I think it helped that we had two tour buses and could drive separately!
planet-beruf: Traveling on the tour bus is certainly fun! Could you imagine yourself driving such buses as a professional driver perhaps?
Tom: I think everyone is destined for a different job. We've always wanted to only make music, others love to drive long distances, like our bus drivers. They definitely do their job very well!
planet-beruf: How are your instruments transported?
Tom: Everything is stowed in specially designed cases. Depending on the distance they are transported on an airplane or a truck. If we go to America or Asia, then they sometimes get transported in containers on a ship as well.
planet-beruf: For your "Humanoid Tour 2010" you had an impressing show. How does the equipment get transported to the cities you play a concert in?
Tom: The tour is extremely complex. A forwarding agency is only responsible for tours, planned and implemented. The parts of the stage is divided into 12 trucks on the road throughout Europe. Everything is planned to the minute and when the trucks are stopped in a traffic jam ever, time is growing short. The scenario takes place every morning at 7 in two different parts of the site and then come together. Directly after the end of the show they dismantled the stage and it all starts again ...
Bill: Depending on the requirements of the site, the technicians take about eight to ten hours to build the show. Hard work and a real coup!
