What day of the week Are Concerts Normally?

Just a random question, when an artist is on tour, what days of the week do they normally have shows? Random I know, but I was just wondering.

Tuesday March 3rd. That's all.

Honestly though, check out the FM/Stevie/Lindsey/Anyotherartistthatevertoured tour archives, and you'll see that it's any day of the week.

Jimmy Buffett only plays Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays...
He even has a live album by that name.

Must be nice...

Here in Europe they're only on Tuesdays. That's not the case in the US? I really thought it was.

****, that's right, I should have guessed that.

Promoters have a tendency to book the larger markets on the weekends with fill dates being added during the week in the smaller markets.

I prefer concerts to be scheduled on Thursday-Saturday. Even for Stevie, I'd have to think hard about going to a show in the middle of the week, especially if she's playing in hell on Earth, or Concord.

I always wanted to have concerts scheduled for mid to late morning, around 10:30 or 11 a.m. There's always been something about that time of day that makes rock concerts seem more palatable to me. Things would be over by 1 or 1:30 in the early afternoon, & you could head over to Frosty Freeze for a cherry bomb & then head home to nap in the hammock in the backyard.

I know a few promoters (for big acts) and whereas they try to do that, generally it doesn't work out if they're on a tight tour schedule and if the target city is already booked by a another act. They need to keep the flow from city to city in a organized scheduled and time it takes to go from one city to another. Even though many artists fly, the stage crew always trucks.

A good, current example: Bruce Springsteen is playing Mon & Tues in LA this month.

No, this wasn't a joke. I was just asking.
