Which concerts have you missed (or will miss) this Spring and Summer that you are still looking forward to seeing once they’ve been rescheduled?
|
Rich Davis, KDWB: My birthday is next month and my wife told me she was planning to surprise me with tickets and backstage passes Poison, Motley Crue, Def Leppard Stadium Tour. She was working behind the scenes to set everything up. Also, that Hella Mega Tour would’ve been cool as well.
Bartel, WKTU: KTUphoria, Halsey, My Chemical Romance and Goo Goo Dolls. Buster Satterfield, Q102: Billie Eilish. Sue O’Neil, WKSE: The Weeknd. Rob Roberts, Cox Media Group: Avett Brothers in Austin. Rescheduled for 2021! Max Volume, KOZZ: All of them. What was one of the most exciting concert seasons in years ended up a COVID bust! Mase, CD1025: The co-headling tour with Slow Motion Boner Party and Butt Slut Rox. It’s going to be EPIC!!! |
Matt Johnson, KSLZ: Billie Eilish was supposed to be here in March and I know it’s rescheduled and I’m really looking forward bigtime to seeing the show when it’s reinstated. I was promised BILLIE EILISH, Fred!
Jonathan Shuford, WRVW: The Hella Mega Tour with Green Day, Weezer and Fall Out Boy scheduled for this June in Atlanta. I really wanted to go to that…hopefully it will be rescheduled. Java Joel, WAKS: Hall & Oates w/Squeeze at Blossom Music Center here in beautiful Northeast Ohio, but… not looking good. By the way, everyone should subscribe to my weekly 80s pop music podcast, “This Week In The 80s” on the iHeartRadio app… #1 for podcasting!
Jon Zellner, iHeartMedia: Quite a list but the ones that come to mind would be: Taylor Swift, Rolling Stones, Madonna, Elton John, Dave Matthews Band, Bon Jovi, and of course, the iHeartCountryFestival, Wango Tango and the iHeartRadio Music Festival. Rick Vaughn, KENZ: Halsey! |
Bob Patrick, WXLK: Me lady and I were going to see Michael Buble in March but hope to see him when it’s eventually rescheduled. Josh Wolff, WAEB What I’m missing mostly is the engagement and connection with our audience that comes from giving away concert tickets to big events.
Mike “OD” O’Donnell, WKRZ: Dan & Shay. As an opening act last year these guys got a great reception in this market. I feel bad, as hot as they’ve been at Pop, that this year their headline tour got derailed. Also Harry Styles, I’d love to see him in a smaller venue as they had planned. Kobe, @kobeontheradio: I was supposed to see Billie Eilish in NYC in March. My daughter is a huge fan, and we’re definitely going to hit up another date. |
Erik Bradley, B96: I was REALLY stoked for the B96 Summer Bash, our lineup was gonna be bonkers – but it’ll make the next Bash all the most exciting and highly anticipated. I was also so stoked to see Sam Hunt’s tour (which he has rescheduled) as well as Lady Gaga at Wrigley Field.
Jagger, WKSS: We missed out on Elton John in April in Long Island. We were also looking forward to the seeing Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber tours this year. Bon Jovi/Bryan would’ve been very cool, and the Poison, Motley Crue, Def Leppard Stadium Tour would also be great to see if it’s rescheduled.
Eliott King, Q102: I was two days away from seeing Billie Eilish in March!! Also was looking forward to the Firefly festival because that lineup was crazy!
Jeff Hurley, iHeartMedia: The Radio 104.5 Birthday Show was going to be huge this year! Instead, I guess we’ll celebrate at home.
Toby Knapp, WASH: Backstreet Boys. Our iHeartCountry Festival in Austin. SXSW. Bon Jovi. Dave Matthews. The *NSYNC REUNION TOUR. Okay, that last one is me suffering from cabin-work-from-home-fever and I just made that one up. Billie Eilish. The list is endless. Live music is something I truly love and live for… and to NOT have it around right now… just is not good for my soul.
Valentine, WBHT: The Justin Bieber tour. I was really excited to see his evolution since the last tour.Next Week’s Question Of The Week:
