    Probably wouldn’t be huge bands doing that though, yeah? I would assume that would mostly comprise of older bands, who do one offs? If a larger band were flying in for mofo, wouldn’t it be more economically viable for them to do a few spare gigs around the rest of Australia? Seems a waste to gather all that gear and staff, and travel a lot of that, just for one gig.

      For sure except, from what I understand, they can afford to pay the bands for exclusivity. I don’t think it happens much any more but I’ve definitely seen more than a few bands come to oz just to play there then leave over the years.
