First 5 dates are festivals and events, so I'm not counting them. Her first real show is that Seattle one on August 22nd. 4700 venue theater. That next show is at an arena in Portland. followed by multiple other arena shows. I assume they're gonna do this like the Meg arena tour, offering cheaper tickets than normal. But can she fill up a 20k arena in Portland, Lincoln, Grand Rapids, etc? I fukking doubt it. Feel free to clown me if I'm wrong though, it's possible.

This reeks of what we've been talking about. The greed of labels, the arrogance of private equity and the disinterest in smaller tours from a financial perspective. She should be doing smaller spots like that 4700 one, and maybe some amphitheaters in the south.

Its mostly 10-15k venues
Good luck performing at 1/3rd of capacity

Depends on the venues. But I seriously doubt she can sell out a tour with more than 5k seats a show.

There’s more established artist who can’t do that.

She should still be doing smaller venues, working on her craft and properly building her fanbase. This generation is in such a rush to look big time instead of trusting the process.



Now wait for videos and reports to come out about the tickets not selling… which will hurt her image and lead people to thinking she fell off or has no fanbase.


These labels aren’t doing them any favors. What happened to artist development? She has one album. You shouldn’t be headlining a tour with one album.

Can she sell out the Barclays? I wanna see that. My brain says fukk no but if she's on the radio promoting it nonstop and the tickets are super cheap...

Maybe that Meg tour is the future.

I’ll wait for the numbers to start rolling and in before I can say whether or not she can sell them out. Even if it’s 2,000 ppl there you know that shyt finna be live with booty shaking ratchets all around.

They should have put her on tour with her "rich baby daddy" bff then this would of had a shot of not getting ultimately canceled.

Red doesn't have enough viable songs for this and the rest of the tour lineup doesn't have a fanbase to pack a local club outside of their respective cities.

This is weird.
