11 Times The Fray Nailed What Being On Tour Is Actually Like (PHOTOS)

I’m just going to go ahead and say it: The Fray’s Instagram is my favorite place to hang out. With nearly 600 posts chronicling the band’s adventures in the studio, on the road, at home and at play, The Fray’s official Instagram account is literally everything a fan could ever want when it comes to keeping up with Colorado’s finest.

Never afraid to peel back the curtain and let fans into their world, The Fray have graciously given the world a glimpse into a part of their career we really only see as the finished product: tour life. Sure, no one can get enough of the bright lights and anticipation that comes when your favorite band hits your city for night of fun, music and memories, but there’s something about getting to experience what actually goes into being on tour that’s even more special than getting to see what everything looks like when it’s slick, polished, and ready to go.

From endless Starbucks runs and soundchecks to the backstage calm before the storm and the best part of ANY tour for anyone lucky enough to live their dream, it’s pretty safe to say that The Fray have absolutely nailed what being on tour is actually like – check it out in the photos below!
