      For musical tours it’s usually something more like: Seattle, LA, a big city in Texas, Minneapolis OR Chicago, Atlanta, NYC and sometimes Boston. But I take your point lol

      The odd thing to me is the Minneapolis or Chicago. In pure numbers, it should be Chicago every time, but Minneapolis seems to draw a strangely outsized amount of musical acts. I think it’s because MSP is a big airline hub. Or something? I honestly don’t know.

    A lot of artists don’t have the bandwidth to go to every single country. So they have to choose.

    In other news, rich artists tend to focus on locations likely to provide a profit and that they’re likely to survive the visit.

    Smaller metal bands don’t often have the means to tour off the beaten path. Just the logistics of organising tours in e.g. South America or Africa are likely prohibitively expensive.

    Some bigger rock and metal bands have actually been pretty good in touring places that aren’t just the standard tour countries.
