Maybe reducing their carbon footprint is also why the tours are shorter for this environment friendly band.
I'm fairly certain it's because certain members of the band don't like being on the road. Which makes sense to me.
I've been watching this TV show that is hosted by Brian Johnson from AC/DC. He spends an episode shooting the shit with people from big rock bands. Last night he did an episode with Lars from Metallica.
They had this conversation where they talked about how it's exciting when you're super young, but once you get older it becomes challenging. They talked about how planes can lighten the load and even though that might cost 1.5 shows to get a plan, you might be able to do 30 more because it's less travel time. Then they talked about touring Europe and setting up temporary residence in paris. They could have their families there, and it's a small piece of home. Then they'd fly from Paris, go do the show, then fly back.
I found it really insightful at just how challenging being on the road is, and what the bands that tour heavily have to do to keep themselves going.... it seems it's not easy on anyone.

I disagree on the basis that festival performances do not require all the band’s gear to travel. The guys could fly east for the festival and reunite with their gear in the Midwest. Some gear would go with them but nowhere near the full setup for their arena shows. In any case, it doesn’t take a week to drive a truck from Illinois to New Jersey.

Would love to go back to Pittsburgh. We spent a few days there a couple years ago. Very nice and walkable city. Did a Pirates game and a Steelers game as well. Beautiful and fan friendly stadiums.

Citizens Bank Park on 9/13 would fit in there. Stage is already there from 9/12 show for Tim McGraw and that is the only show currently scheduled there that weekend. They normally try to fit a few shows in a weekend with a show due to the setup that goes into a concert at a ballpark.
If you guys are booking multiple days its better to do single day bookings. A lot of the time if you try to cancel a day or two if you do more than one day they get you for the going rate when you rebook instead of your earlier rate.

Yes... agreed on that. But I’m staying the whole weekend.

Yeah, that would be like touring from Toronto to Ottawa to Quebec City and then all the way back to Hamilton. Or playing a show in NYC, then Baltimore, then NYC again. I get it, these are both shorter trips, but I'm sure they'd play dates in between, so it's not entirely unreasonable.

Fair enough. If Pittsburgh is 9/4 then that feels like the starting point of the tour
could go Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago on 9/11 and 9/12 or 13, MSP 9/15, then 5 days of travel down to Asbury for Sea Hear Now
Glad to hear of shows around Labor Day weekend so I could get away without vacation days!

They could even hit another show or two between 9/15 and 9/20, if they wanted. Maybe in the NY/NJ area.
