Getting to gigs can be a pain, that's for sure. The van breaks down (again), traffic is totally gridlocked, and your drummer is snoring in your ear. Don't you wish you could revamp your transportation into something more functional, nay, glamorous? Well, here are nine options that are sure to change your touring life!

1. Canoe

For all those island gigs. Careful, though – don't get your gear wet!

 

2. Moped

Badass.

6. Unicycle

If you play guitar while you ride it, people will give you money even on your way to your gig! Can't do that in a dumb van, now can you?

 

7. Dogsled

In case you're playing in Alaska.

 

8. Crocodile Mile

 

Perfect for getting to gigs that are wayyyy down a hill.

 

9. Hot air balloon

Touring with a view!

 

In case this isn't abundantly obvious, Happy April Fools' Day.
