In other news, rich artists tend to focus on locations likely to provide a profit and that they're likely to survive the visit.

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.

That's a lot of Canada colored in for Toronto and maybe Vancouver

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.

Then you also have Metallica who played Antarctica.

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.

Yeah let me go to Ukraine real quick 💀

Why the fuck would a global tour go to places that can't afford tickets?

As a resident of Ohio, that might as well be a grey spot too.

The absence of Scandinavia checks out. Generous of them to leave Poland in, though.

Hey now! Sweden is a hotspot for great metal concerts!

"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.

Come to Brazil

I've seen World tours with stops only in the US and UK

The map of asian groups "international" tours is also funny.

The other parts aren't worth visiting

Fuck Portugal I guess.

Assuming that guy is American, he is roughly 13 foreign countries over the US average.

(1st) World Tour!

How about the baseball world series?

That would be around the world so it’s fine

Fair enough tbh. Most counties are fucked up.

I mean, do you expect them to go to every country in the world?
