You forgot the part where the US is only CA and NY.
For musical tours it’s usually something more like: Seattle, LA, a big city in Texas, Minneapolis OR Chicago, Atlanta, NYC and sometimes Boston. But I take your point lol
The odd thing to me is the Minneapolis or Chicago. In pure numbers, it should be Chicago every time, but Minneapolis seems to draw a strangely outsized amount of musical acts. I think it’s because MSP is a big airline hub. Or something? I honestly don’t know.
A lot of artists don’t have the bandwidth to go to every single country. So they have to choose.
In other news, rich artists tend to focus on locations likely to provide a profit and that they’re likely to survive the visit.
As a resident of Ohio, that might as well be a grey spot too.
