I want to talk to the person / people who thought that these dudes were arena sellers. Like...huh?? In what world?
They’re also not a good live band. Dan and Pat looked legitimately bored last time I saw them and they played with almost zero energy. They’ve never seemed comfortable with having backing musicians and it shows.
During like 2012 - 2014 they were headlining major festivals and playing arenas. But in 2024, they should not even have booked an arena tour. Mid size venues/amphitheaters at best.
These guys rock and are always fun live but yeah the high prices are hard to justify in an arena environment.
