Tropico Premiere on Vevo

Recommended Posts

I hate to keep addressing this issue, but I hope my earlier post wasn't misinterpreted. I wasn't trying to start a pity party or a contest about which country's fans have it worst. There are many fans on this forum from far-flung places that don't have a snowball's chance in hell of Lana performing within reasonable travel distance. Obviously they have it worst. Rather, I was trying to make these points:

 

  • The low number of US tour dates Lana has performed relative to the number of European tour dates she has performed is unusual and disproportionate for an artist from the US (especially one that fetishizes Americana), even accounting for the disparity in her popularity between the US and Europe.
  • The degree of disparity defies financial incentives and seems grounded in less than admirable motivations (either pettiness and spite or thin-skinnedness and fear).
  • While most people in places other than Europe or North America have less or even no opportunity to see Lana perform, that is not that unusual for an American artist. It is unusual for an American artist to perform so relatively infrequently in her own country.
  • A large proportion of her American fans do not live within reasonable travel distance of any of the few shows she has done in the US as they've been concentrated mostly in just two cities. A much smaller proportion of her European fans can say this.
  • I'll not be lectured by Brits of all people about this when the number of opportunities they've had to see Lana is wildly disproportionate even compared to the rest of Europe. Especially when they bring it up unprompted.
 

But for what it's worth, I agree with you @@Lanakai that Canada has gotten the shaft too. You're collateral damage in her avoidance of US shows since most popular artists plan North American tours with dates in both countries (and sometimes Mexico). And as a side note, Toronto was actually the closest show I could have gone to before Lollapalooza.

Oh no I was aiming my post at the non-North American group. I agree with everything you said as well, it was very well stated. On a side note, if she ever hits up Toronto again, we need to have a LB meetup!

That's the worst part though. :( When they do come to Canada, it's usually just Toronto. IDGI. :oprah3: :aw:
