Why do all the good concerts happen on weekdays when we must work the next day?

Question

No matter who is playing it always seems to be a weekday. In the last five years the Dave Matthews concert has been on a Tuesday or Wednesday night every time. Is Phoenix, AZ just in a weird place when scheduling a tour or is there an actual reason?

Answer 1

No, -you're right about Phoenix. I THINK the deal IS- that MOST really BIG acts- save their weekend "venues" for the cities THEY enjoy playing in (like Vegas, or Miami, or Chicago, etc.). Let's face it, WHO wants to spend a weekend in JULY in a place like Phoenix??! Even the people who LIVE here try to go somewhere else!!! (I know this from experience- as I live in Scottsdale, & everyone I know- is up in the Mountains this weekend...). This is just another part of LIFE- in the Valley of the Sun...
