well coachella in the middle of the desert, which isn’t worth the time and hassle. Plus its real hot and like twenty dollars for water. It’s a bummer. The best place to see live shows is in a little venue or bar. I speak the truth.

The concert industry seems ripe for a change of some kind. For quite a while there have been bands (a lot of them reunion tours or older acts) that are charging through the roof for shows. Festivals will always exist, but they’re usually one-offs in select areas, making them a different beast.
Maybe some of these acts who think they’re large arena-worthy could benefit from doing mid-venue shows and creating a higher demand and maybe multiple shows.
Could be wrong, just a thought…

I will take my rent money to see Janet Jackson, (just kidding). However, she does do a great show !

tom petty and steve winwood sold out completely in pittsburgh 2 weeks ago…20 thousand-plus, outdoor venue…

no, Bonnaroo did not sell out.

Didn’t Bonnaroo sell out? How could sales have dipped when you have to sell second tier tickets after twenty minutes on the market?
