I have received some brochures from some local theatre's. Again it's page after page of tribute bands or some very generic rock cover band. I wouldn't call them cheap to see these bands, unlike the old days.

Before the Plandemic the venues used to be booked of famous and semi famous bands even the smallest of venues.

Yes, tribute bands can put bums on seats if they are well established, there is a Beatles tribute band that has been sale since about September and it's only half booked still. The Beatles tribute bands I have been told that are worth seeing are Rain, Bootleg Beatles and the Fab Four.

The Pink Floyd band has about 10 tickets left and they were released a few weeks before Christmas.

I have noticed that the same venues will book several Genesis, Blondie, Beatles, Foo Fighters, AC/DC, Bon Jovi, GNR tributes. Talk about stepping on toes.
