Here's a newsflash: Montreal has twice the population of Calgary, and even Montreal sometimes gets skipped by big acts.

If acts are performing in Edmonton it makes no geographical logistical sense to not also perform in Calgary. If anything Calgary should be making far more sense as a tour stop to generate some revenue travelling between the west coast and the Midwest. Edmonton is far more remote and more often than not requires going through Calgary to get to or out of anyways if touring by bus. If acts are performing in Edmonton and skipping Calgary there has to be something outright preventing them from doing it, it makes no sense for them to skip a more conveniently located, bigger city by choice.
