As someone from Alaska, this hurts! I live out of state currently so can’t speak for recent or upcoming, but when I was a kid larger bands would come through. Metallica, Kiss, Megadeth & Pantera (I went to those last two) etc. Basically, large bands with good pull. Although, Jewel was going to play once when she was huge but canceled because not enough tickets were sold (Kiss played that night/venue instead ⚡)
I was just guessing … I’m from northern Ontario in Canada … I live near Sudbury and whenever there are major concerts, it’s always Toronto, which is about four hours from here … and that’s just the distance travellilng to get there, you basically have to set aside two days to attend a concert because if its a major event, thousands of people are doing the same and there will be no hotels, no parking, no taxis, no transport and everything will be expensive … and even if you’ve paid for everything, expect hours to get to the venue and hours to leave because of all the traffic.
That’s a lot of Canada colored in for Toronto and maybe Vancouver
As a recent transplant from the US living in not Toronto or Vancouver, I agree.
To be fair to the artist though, I don’t think many US tours include any stops in Montana or the Dakotas (nevermind Hawaii or Alaska).
For the US section … I think they skip coloring Alaska too.
?? What about when the Internet sent pitbull to Kodiak?

Ugh, yeah that’s awful. I meant “this hurts” as my frustration at lack of bands playing there!
Yo what about Banff
