    Posty incoming

    he has to either get SZA or other female R&B artist. Or might as well just put Don Toliver, Sabrina Claudio back.

  • May 21, 2022

    My guess is Sal knew this a while back and has been hustling to get the replacement(s). I doubt this was news to them when she announced. Hopefully replacements announced soon to slow down resales.

    Hope they put don back on, maybe even Nav/Belly?

    demographically it would be best to get another female artist, plus replacing doja cat presents a unique challenge in that she's just big enough that she could probably already headline an arena tour and won't be an opener again for a while but not big enough to do a stadium tour. There's not many artists that are at that level right now.

    very intrigued to see what they do. I was going purely for The Weeknd so it's no skin off my back but I know for a fact there's definitely ticket holders that are at least very disappointed with her dropping out

    It's a unique challenge because of Doja's rise, and her fans were definitely upset. She's my fav artist of the new generation, but I think folks are overselling her drawing ability and underselling Abel's. I think maybe there are.....12,000-15,000 people upset that they wouldn't want to go or resell. They already sold maybe 700K tickets to this point so I think there will be some impact on resales, but not a lot.

    Doja is a superstar in waiting but is unproven as a touring act. Lil Nas X and Olivia Rodrigo are at the theater level, and Lizzo only now just doing arenas. Only person to parlay pandemic success to headlining arenas is Dua Lipa, and even that was somewhat of a gamble. As much as Doja dropping hurts for her and her stans, majority were still going for Abel.

    Doja just blew up faster than even her team imagined and not these rates dont make sense.

    Weeknd needs to get a solid opener.

    I don’t think having no opener is really a good idea, especially for ticket sales……..

    Part of Weeknd’s team is Doja’s team tho. And she’s still unproven as a touring act so it made sense for a stadium run. She just wanted a break.

    I don’t think there will be no opener, probably piecemeal depending on the city. Ticket sales are fine, you can’t get refunds cause the opener dropped out

    This won’t happen either. Willing to bet he’ll do a 1 hr 30 min set and call it a day
