Madonna, Tina Turner announce tour dates and cities, but where’s St. Louis?

St. Louis is definitely used to Madonna giving the city the bum’s rush every time she tours, and this summer’s Sweet and Sticky tour, announced today, is no exception. The closest Madonna comes to St. Louis is Chicago on Oct. 26.

But what does sting a bit is out-of-retirement Tina Turner’s fall tour is noticeable without a St. Lous date either. The tour opens in Kansas City Oct. 1, then goes to Chicago Oct. 3.

Nothing is currently listed on Scottrade Center’s schedule for Oct. 2.

We get the whole Chicago thing, but when did Kansas City officially become a preferred concert town over St. Louis? Oh, that’s right, ever since they got that shiny new Sprint Center.

The main difference in the entertainment in Kansas City vs St. Louis is the fact that Kansas City has done a TON to improve the downtown area. This isn’t happening in St. Louis. Not only was the Sprint Center built, but the Power & Light district across from the Sprint Center draws huge crowds and gives people a place to not only attend a concert, but also have places to eat and other entertainment. St. Louis is lacking in this area, and probably will be for a while now that the Ballpark Village has fallen apart.

If Radiohead can’t sell out Stl, why would other good bands want to come. Truly pathetic

Who cares if DMB is coming to town. What does one show prove when all the other big names just pass you up?

If they revamped the Scottrade Center and UMB Bank Pavilion every time they changed names, everyone would beg to play in St. Louis. With gas being what it is and will be, they had best drop their ticket prices, or the KC arena will be at half capacity!

what a total joke. “kc is on the way up, stl down”. St. Louis is the 18th largest metro area in the country. KC isn’t even in the top 25. look at our downtown compared to theirs.. St. Louis is full of such pessimists. where does this come from? what IS up with the american/orpheum though.. bring that baby back! aint what she used to be…

Kansas City has a regional cooperation thing going. There are two huge universities equal distance away. The new Power and Light district is great. Kansas City Police know how to handle crowds. The SLPD hate crowds, they want to crawl back to sleep. Kansas City folks are more friendlier than STL folks anyway.
