In other news, rich artists tend to focus on locations likely to provide a profit and that they're likely to survive the visit.
sad finnish noises
I think a lot of people have a misconception about how much money modern musicians are making
There's an error there, Tasmania is coloured red. They never visit Tasmania. You live in Tasmania, you want to see your favourite band, it's a plane ticket and a hotel stay, plus ticket. So close and yet so far. I hear the Tasmanians have given up and just built a huge ear horn, to collectively use.
yeah the Australian red should just be brisbane, sydney, melbourne.
W.A. and S.A. occasionally get concerts, Tasmania rarely get concerts, and I've never heard of a band going to the N.T.
And Brisbane only if you're lucky.
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?
Could we chop off the top half of Australia please.
I live there and artists go on Australian tours and don't even come to the Northern Territory.
Could probably change Australia to 3 red circles for Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
Could we chop off the top half of Australia please.
Done. Should I put it in Tupperware or ziplock?
Then you also have Metallica who played Antarctica.
They have a song called "trapped under ice" and of course they decided to NOT play it on their tour in fucking antartica
Smaller metal bands don't often have the means to tour off the beaten path. Just the logistics of organising tours in e.g. South America or Africa are likely prohibitively expensive.
Some bigger rock and metal bands have actually been pretty good in touring places that aren't just the standard tour countries.
You forgot the part where the US is only CA and NY.
And australia is only Sydney and Melbourne (this coming from a Perth lad)
Why the fuck would a global tour go to places that can't afford tickets?
Yeah let me go to Ukraine real quick 💀
I hear they have some killer pyrotechnics.
The absence of Scandinavia checks out. Generous of them to leave Poland in, though.
"I'm going to the places where people can afford to see somebody who goes on a world tour."
Unless you’re Horse the Band, which did their best to hit up every country on their world tour.
The map of asian groups "international" tours is also funny.
Korea, Japan, and maaaayyyyyee Hawaii if they're adventurous
I've seen World tours with stops only in the US and UK
The other parts aren't worth visiting
Assuming that guy is American, he is roughly 13 foreign countries over the US average.
(1st) World Tour!
How about the baseball world series?
I mean, do you expect them to go to every country in the world?
Fair enough tbh. Most counties are fucked up.
That would be around the world so it’s fine
Here's a mindblower: OP didn't create this map. It's just a map of something unrelated entirely.
looks like only the important places

Memes. For metal music.
Don't be an ass and try to keep the gatekeeping and whatnot to a minimum. Memes from all sorts of metal genres and bands are welcome here.
