The one-day sellout of the AC/DC show told us what we already know about Pittsburgh -- it loves the metal.
So why aren't we getting Metallica?
Seems like a natural that the band, having recently discovered its awesomeness, would play here on the "Death Magnetic" current tour. But it seems like they always skip Pittsburgh, even with dates in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. in January.
Of the top 20 tours listed on Pollstar, only five (AC/DC, Eagles, Dylan, Smashing Pumpkins, Motley Crue and Buckcherry) are scheduled to play here or have played here recently (see the list below).
Those are the big, mainstream shows. There are lots of smaller, indie bands people want to see here as well.
I'd be interested to know who you're waiting to see in Pittsburgh....
Here's the Pollstar list:
1. AC/DC
2. Metallica
3. Coldplay
4. Eagles
5. Bob Dylan
6. Neil Young
7. Depeche Mode
8. Oasis
9. Madonna
10. Tina Turner
11. The Killers
12. Smashing Pumpkins
13. The Who
14. Motley Crue
15. Queen + Paul Rodgers
16. Beastie Boys
17. Beck
18. Buckcherry
19. New Kids On The Block
20. Nine Inch Nails
