Actually it's becoming a prominent trend now. Drake just did Edmonton back-to-back nights rather than come to Calgary, and Kanye West is going to Edmonton but not Calgary.
I kinda have a conspiracy in my mind that it's kind of intentional to let these big acts skip Calgary to give the impression that they're not coming because of the outdated venue, which increases public pressure on getting a new one. Yes, Saddledome have some structural issues for some stages, and I don't know if these acts that have skipped simply couldn't do it in the Saddledome, but I find it suspicious since they've come before.
