Petition for Opeth to visit Southeast US

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   PA Contributer FloydWright and I made this petition to show demand to the band and/or their managers for stops in the Southeast of the US, which they don't visit. Several states... Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, Mississippi, I think even Arkansas... haven't had the privelidge of seeing an Opeth concert yet. There are quite a few larger cities in this area that would be a good market... Memphis probably the biggest one, but then there's also Birmingham, Montgomery, Jackson, etc.

Atlanta, Florida, and Winston-Salem get to see Opeth frequently and although I suppose it is humanly possible at least, that is quite a stretch for most people in the region mentioned above, whether it be because of money, parents, work, etc. Most people aren't able to afford it, timewise or moneywise.

This isn't meant to be bitchy... this region's most popular genres are country and rap, so we don't blame Opeth or their management at ALL for not visiting this region. The purpose of this petition is to SHOW that there's an audience very willing to attend.

Also keep in mind that if Opeth performs in that area, more and more rock bands are likely to go there as well, and it's fairly rare that they do. If you're not really an Opeth fan but you're sick of no good concerts coming to your area, this would be a good chance to expand your options.

So please... if you live in those states, would go to a performance in those states, or know people that either live or would go to those states, sign the petition and get the word around.

Many thanks!!
