If anyone is in line for merch, I'd recommend getting out of it and exploring the city instead. Lots to see and do in Nashville.
made that mistake in 2022... didnt lose the whole day at least but i know better now

If you are in line for 4 hours for this stuff…yeesh. Can’t help you! LOL. Let’s have a good concert to make up for it

I have to say he gets some mileage out of that image
Someone must have told him that its good
I like it but as 75% of the print a little too minimalist for me. Lots of good stuff if you dig into more of his work though.
Yeah, I checked him out. Pity he didn't reuse or rehash some of his other prints. I like the simple posters but this looks like potato printing gone badly wrong.

Lots of comic book western themes that I think people would have gone nuts over
This has gotta be the worst run of your posters potentially ever. But when the merch guys are making tokens for 25 cents and selling them out (almost immediately) at $5 a pop, I doubt the band cares.
I think the issue is Tsurt has used all local artists this time, apart from Ames and Kevin Tong (who is an established Alternative Movie Poster artist) who unsurprisingly had the two best posters. Hardly any of these have done concert posters before. For me the solution is simple, just go back to using mainly established poster artists. You can see it works from last year. Australia and NZ had the best posters and they had a higher number of established poster artists (Ken Taylor, Ben Brown, Rhys Cooper, Bella Grace, Travis Price etc). It also impacted the Euro tour posters last year as well. Apart from London and Dublin, mainly local artists were used.
While Francesco Francavilla does live in Atlanta it’s extremely reductive to call him a “local artist”, he’s done a ton of movie stuff and his day job is comic books and covers.
ISO merch buddy for 1 deck, 1 plate, 1 token, 1 button, 1 sticker, and 1 XXL (or XL) shirt. Not essential, just shooting my shot.
I will bring you some lunch, and pay for your plate (unless it's 1 per person, which would be understandable).
I should be getting downtown between 12-12:30👍

Only 17 left! Like the standard better. Hopefully it doesn't take another week for him to sell it out.
I'd buy it, but it's just so... fleshy😳

Agree, sorry I had forgotten about him. Yes he is well known in the AMP world.
I’m not saying it’s bad to use local artists, just much more hit and miss than using established ones who have been there many times before and know what works and doesn’t work on a concert poster
I actually think the poster is cool. Although I do agree it’s a bit lazy reusing an image especially for a city with such a rich music history to pull inspiration from. Nonetheless, I still think it’s a cool image.
