As for shows that skip PHX and hit Tucson - they tend to be more alternative/electronic in nature. PHX still pulls (some) of the big EDM acts (but Royksopp did 2x shows in LA instead of one here - yet they did SLC?). Last year I went down to the Rialto to see Ministry with Front Line Assembly and Gary Numan (a hell of a show). There are other similar shows that wind up down there but not here.
Not sure what it is - but seems like 5M+ people here can draw enough people to fill a small venue for these acts - or even a decent sized one (i.e. Royksopp, Depeche Mode, etc). Maybe we don't have enough venues? I mean SLC is 2m people and drawing these acts...

Would have loved to see Royksopp. I think it boils down to venue availability and timing with certain tours. Disappointing. I feel the same way about DM skipping Phoenix. They literally started their tour in March 2023 in CA, then hit Vegas. Later in Nov. and then Dec., hit Denver, SLC, hit west coast again, Vegas again, then wrapped up North American leg in Southern CA again (2 shows in San Diego, 2 in Inglewood, and 2 in LA). Where there no venues to tack on a PHX date at the end? Lame...
