    Pretty big jump in size of the venue's compared to where they've been playing the past few years.

    I agree. the problem, at least in Winnipeg, is that you don't have a decent venue in the 5,000-7,000 capacity range. you from 1,300 (Burton Cummings Theatre) to 13,000 (MTS). You COULD play Convention Centre, I think that's around 3,000, but that's too small for Billy's ego. Plus the sound in there is shyte.

    He's probably counting on the nostalgia factor, that most of these places haven't seen him since 2000.

    Hopefully the opener is ok.

    I really don't see how he can fill the ACC...I'm guessing they're dropping the curtain half wy and playing a theater style show there.
