world tour
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
You forgot the part where the US is only CA and NY.
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.
sad finnish noises
i like how my country is circles red yet in the last 15 or so odd years i never heard of any world tour actually coming to us
"I'm going to the places where people can afford to see somebody who goes on a world tour."
That would be around the world so it’s fine
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.
As a resident of Ohio, that might as well be a grey spot too.
looks like only the important places

That's a lot of Canada colored in for Toronto and maybe Vancouver
For the US section .... I think they skip coloring Alaska too.
No Brazil? Are they even a band?
The other parts aren't worth visiting
