I bought my ticket for Tool in St Paul last week. Was still able to get a lower bowl spot on (even on the aisle). Will be going alone as the show is on Halloween and my friend who would go with me to Tool has children and trick-or-treating to handle.
Were all of these Tool shows mentioned here newly announced dates? Whenever they play around here, they sell out very quickly. By the time I get around to deciding that I'd like to see them again, tickets have long sold out.
Oh, Wednesday added a Philadelphia date to the beginning of their tour, so now they're playing every large city in the northeastern U.S. I can't think of a single major market in that part of the country that they're not playing on this run.
I'm assuming that the Green Day/Smashing Pumpkins/Rancid/Linda Lindas tour pretty much takes the top two names in the lineup out of contention to be festival headliners in 2024.
Kind of amazed how many artists are being elevated to stadium acts now. Foo Fighters? Green Day? Wouldn’t have pegged them for stadium acts this far into their career.
Speaking of adding Vegas shows, U2 have added more shows to their Sphere residency late January through mid February. I will not be biting on these as they are too soon after I go back in December.

I think for Green Day it helps having big openers. On their last stadium-ballpark run they had Fall Out Boy and Weezer on the bill.

Something I've been thinking about the past couple years is we seem to be reaching a point as a ~society where the venues we've built aren't big enough to cater to the amount of people interested in the events held there. I feel like we'll see more and more shows at 60k stadiums because we're starting to outgrow the 18k arenas. I've also noticed more arena tours for acts that I would have assumed would be playing 3-5k clubs or theaters.
We still see shows/tours downgraded or outright cancelled because they were overly optimistic with their booking, but in general I think the appetite for live events is at an all time high.
This is the first message board I've ever been on, the only reason I joined is because I love Bonnaroo and wanted to read and talk about it all year long.

Definitely agree with this - but it also seems like for a variety of reasons this level of insane demand is only for more popular artists. It’s sad this effect hasn’t really trickled downstream to smaller bands.
If it's just a band going out there and playing their songs, I agree with you. But the Eras tour was the most impressive performance/production I've ever seen, and it only could have been done in a stadium.
Upcoming Shows: 10/18 - Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit & Iris DeMent @ Ryman Auditorium 11/8 - Goose @ The Andrew J. Brady Center 11/13 - Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros w/ The Wolfpack & The Cincinnati Pops Orchestra @ Cincinnati Music Hall 2/14 - Alan Walker @ The Fillmore Detroit 4/15 - Ben Folds w/ The Cincinnati Pops Orchestra @ Cincinnati Music Hall
I did. It was technically a great show and I had fun but it’s pretty much impossible for me to fully connect with something at that scale. I would take a scaled down production in an arena every time.

caught one of these shows last summer, do not hesitate to catch it. just incredible. the theater is not that big, not a bad seat in the house, and the production is truly breathtaking.

Green Day have been playing stadiums in some capacity for almost 20 years. ( saww em at ATT park in 2005 ) And hella Mega was all stadiums. Is this nfl stadiums though? Thats the question.
If they advertise this as Dookie in full its gonna sell like hot cakes. And theres been rumors that Pumpkins were going to announce a Siamese Dream tour. So if this is it thats even lore of a draw.
Dusk launches a fairly extensive midwest and northeast tour tonight. I had never heard of them before, but this post should suggest whether you'll probably like them.
When and if Oasis reunion happens, they will start at Man City stadium for sure. Image thing. London should follow after Man City dates.
I think they can sell around 400,000 tickets at home and another 700,000 in London.
Why warm up, after years apart, at the most significant city to your band? The winning move is to do some dates in the U.S., Australia, Japan, basically anywhere far away from the UK, so that by the time you do the hometown shows, you've shaken off the rust.
