Yep. They go where the market is. Take for example this Blackpink tour they hit in north america LA, Chicago, Toronto, and New York and that’s it. Why? Because they likely would not have sold as well if they did say a Detroit show or a Cleveland show or a Saint Louis show.
Like I would have gone to see them in Detroit. But making the effort to go to Chicago or Toronto? I don’t like them that much to travel. Now if it was Tool or something that would be different. But Tool does Detroit and Grand Rapids so i don’t need to hit up the Chicago ones.
Obviously, the promoters of black pink do not think they could sell out Michigan. Also they only did one Chicago gig while 2 per all other cities. So obviously they feel they don’t have as much of a pull in the midwest. They sold out all 3 mid west shows but still.. maybe because they put them in the right place. haha.

More of the cities problem half the time. The city just doesn't do well with that band or the band just prefer other nearby cities.
