Reply to comment by okudakobayashi in ELI5: Why are Iron Maiden headlining stadiums where Judas Priest are playing clubs? by BigBobby2016

I know. I saw them a couple weeks ago in Boston. In a club, not a stadium.

MGM Music Hall? That’s a hall, bigger than a club. Also both bands played the same arena in my area this year.

It has a capacity of 5000. That's 10x smaller than the venues where Iron Maiden plays.

Check their past dates on this tour. Most are for arenas. I saw them at a 20,000 seat arena this year, same exact venue that Maiden played.

Huh...maybe the venue I saw them at isn't representative of where they typically play then. It's not like we don't have stadiums in Boston though.
