Do enough people in NYC or LA like Tom Petty to warrant 5 and 6 sows shows respectively?
The venue he's playing here in LA is a small-ish GA club. The very max capacity is 1,300. I'd imagine each of those dates will sell out. Smaller names have sold out the venue quickly.
He's an all time favorite of mine, but whoever does his booking must've been on vacation. These dates are lacking diversity so damn much! I kept hearing he plays The Gorge in WA all the time, apparently not this year. He's missing markets to chill with the only two cities in the country, NYC and LA. Seriously, it gets old always seeing those cities get the red carpet treatment. Pun intended.
Well, another year Tom Petty skips Cleveland. I think 2010 was the last time he was here. Pretty sure that was also the year it was a rain fest. Oh well...
