State Fair Music Bombs
So, the Illinois State Fair released details today of how all the concerts faired, in terms of did they make money or did they lose (taxpayer) money?
Big winner: Florida-Georgia Line, profit of $337,000
All that profit was eaten-up though by the big losers:
Hunter Hayes: lost $73,000
Pitbull: lost $101,000
Robin Thicke: lost $120,000+
American Idols: lost $140,000+
What a mess!
The 2 classic rock groups (Boston, Steely Dan) both made money.
So did the other country artist, Jake Owen.
All the statistics, including attendance figures, here:
Seems to me there's a very simple solution.
Book more country.
Book more classic.
Skip the cheap, pop and rap one-hit wonder, wannabee talent of today.
Out for now......
