A while back I looked through EDM and CGY event calendars for 2018:
CGY missed out on:
Old Dominion
Avenged Sevenfold
Brantley Gilbert
Jeff Dunham
Shania Twain (2 nights)
Paul McCartney
Drake (2 nights)
We got and they didn't (unless it was at a different venue in EDM):
Ellen Degeneres
Stars on Ice
Brad Paisley (Stampede)
Luke Bryan (Stampede)
UFC
Cirque Wonderland
Fleetwood Mac? (I know they've postponed show(s) in the last few years due to illness, not sure if this one happened or was a re-schedule)
It certainly skews in EDM's favour, but not by
that much. Even if/when we do get a strong-roofed arena, there is no guarantee we get every big show that comes through EDM. The balance probably comes a lot closer, but there will still be shows that only do one city or the other.
