Country music industry is so bizarre to me...these acts push out new albums each year, without any real growth or evolution in sound and their fan bases EAT IT UP! The local amphitheater venue near me hosts the same country acts every year (Aldean, Toby Keith, Brad Paisley, Zac Brown, Lady Antebellum, Radius Rucker) and people continue to go. Is the music just background noise at this point? Imagine if Blink or FOB played the same,venue every summer for the past 5 years, I highly doubt they'd continue to draw, its so bizarre.
Idk enrique Iglesias plays the same weekend in Vegas every year at the same venue for the past 4 years and it seems to do rly well and the same people make the trip every year. Fans gonna fan
