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.
