Visit our concert calendar for a full show list, links to buy tickets and our top picks.
PICK OF THE WEEK: Rogue Wave @ Safari Sam’s
Indie Rock Economics Time: What happens when five large venues compete for the same target
audience on the same night? Here’s what the lineup looks like Thursday night:
SHOW: CAPACITY
Rogue Wave @ Vanguard: 1200
M. Ward @ Fonda: 1200
Sonic Youth @ Wiltern: 2200
Wolfmother @ Palladium: 3500
Scissor Sisters @ Shrine: 4000
—————————————————
Total Ticket Supply: 12,100
The Rogue Wave show promoters recognized market dynamics and moved the show to Safari Sam’s, a venue with a third the capacity of the Vanguard. By decreasing the denominator in the Losanjealous Number (buzz/capacity), the Rogue Wave show catapults ahead of M. Ward to become this week’s pick.
