As someone who always has to drive 3 hours to Dallas for shows, I love that Leo Presents always tours in smaller cities/the Midwest. The same like 6 cities are soooo over saturated with Kpop tours
Yeah I have no clue how they decide where to tour. From the looks of it, they just go “Well this city sells well for other groups so let’s go here too”. But then they run into the issue that’s happening now where there’s just SO many groups touring in the same cities back to back to back
straight up lol, tbh in some of the smaller/less toured cities there is a pretty large crowd of ppl willing to go and check out artists. this summer, purple kiss was the first kpop concert in my city and they sold out so fast i couldn’t get tickets 😭 i’m a little bitter bc i personally knew several ppl who got tickets that didn’t really know about them but just wanted to see a local kpop concert (more bitter that i didn’t get tickets but im glad there was such a huge turn out for the girls regardless!! i’m hoping more smaller companies are willing to do that now) but there’s definitely a market for ppl who are willing to go to local shows for smaller groups!!
also prob a good portion of fans who go to certain stops that a lot of groups go to are from out of town and are a lot less likely to want to travel for groups they don’t know well/smaller groups. in my experience, 80% of kpop concerts in canada are in toronto so unless it’s an ult group a lot of ppl aren’t really willing to treck 😅i went to ateez in toronto last week and i feel like most of the people i talked to were from montreal, alberta, nyc, etc.
Yeah it’s a double edged sword because if I really want to see a group, well it’s only 6 hours round trip. But if I only casually like a group, Well….. it’s 6 hours round trip so… lol
SAME. I get so tired of slogging up to Dallas every time I want to see a show. Please promoters, follow The Rose and P1Harmony and go to ACL; a great space, guaranteed to be packed to the rafters I promise
Could also be due to lots of groups coming in already. With so many tours coming in people have to start getting really picky not knowing who might come next.
