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.

    Except when they come and play exclusively for Dark Mofo and then leave. To be fair to you though, that's rarely part of a "world tour"

    Probably wouldn't be huge bands doing that though, yeah? I would assume that would mostly comprise of older bands, who do one offs? If a larger band were flying in for mofo, wouldn't it be more economically viable for them to do a few spare gigs around the rest of Australia? Seems a waste to gather all that gear and staff, and travel a lot of that, just for one gig.
