A lot of the "indie" bands from the 00s who held their nose up at "emo" bands at the time are sure as shit happy to get paid opening for them (a la Bloc Party opening for Paramore, Franz Ferdinand also opening up for MCR)
Yes - they're definitely a stadium band in Columbus, especially so if they're only playing this one date in Ohio. Cleveland and Cincinnati will travel for this for sure.
Random aside but I saw Brigitte Calls Me Baby last night and I assumed I'd be the usual odd old guy there given they are a young band but was amazed that I was like...the median age in the crowd.
I'd imagine Twenty One Pilots even add a second night to that stadium show. Ohio LOVES them. Back in 2013 when they were doing 2k venues here in NYC they were already doing arenas there.
Aren't those college stadiums like bigger than NFL stadiums? Wild they are doing it (and can obviously fill them).
I don’t know what the configuration is for a show there, how many seats are in use/any sections blocked off etc, but for football games Ohio stadium seats over 100k people
As someone who has been seeing this band in Columbus (and the greater Cleveland area) for the past 15 years...there's NO CHANCE a second show is added. 102K capacity stadium is bonkers. I don't think it'll even sell out. Despite how popular they are in their hometown, that would be super impressive.
To be fair, with an end stage a certain percentage of those seats aren't sold so it's probably more like 80k but STILL.
Interesting for 21P to front the production costs for a one-off stadium gig. Either this will be a scaled down show (compared to most stadium shows) or they got a streaming deal they haven’t announced yet to help off set the production costs.
There's no way they're mailing in their production for a once in an opportunity hometown stadium show.
Death From Above 1979 - Private Lives Tour 10/1 - Sacramento, CA - Ace of Spades 10/8 - Los Angeles, CA - The Belasco 11/27 - Toronto, ON - History 11/28 - Buffalo, NY - Town Ballroom 12/6 - Pittsburgh, PA - Thunderbird Music Hall looks like full tour getting officially announced next week
i know, that’s why I’m interested in seeing the setup. They’re not Beyoncé or Zach Bryan so they probably can’t price nosebleeds as high as them, so it’ll be interesting to see how the prices correlate to the production considering it’s a one off. wish more acts did this in their hometown/state.
