Check Sunday’s A&E section for a look comparing the two cities’ concert scene, and whether Kansas City is beginning to overshadow St. Louis.
Kevin C. Johnson has covered the St. Louis' music and nightlife scene for the past decade. 
hahahahaha. Sprint Center is the only game in town? This is funny.
Kemper Arena
Municipal Auditorium
Starlight Amphitheater
Verizon Wireless at Sandstone
The Midland
The Uptown
The Rivermarket
The Music Hall
Power and Light Live
Madrid
and any number of small indoor or outdoor venues (i.e. Grinders).
”It is clear that St. Louis has a much more diverse blend of music which gives that entire city an opportunity to attend a event of their choice at a large venue. But Kansas City has more of the “old reliable” acts that would tend to have a “ready made” audience for them.”
Ridiculous statement. Arenas draw mainstream acts in all cities. The smaller venues draw more obscure acts, and both KC/STL have a mix of both. Although Lawrence gets more obscure college oriented music than either KC or STL.
Wow….I think those are both pretty awful line-ups.
RADIOHEAD went to St. Louis.
Stl- 1
KC- 0
STL hosted NKOTB…cant beat that!
radiohead was in kc on the last tour but not in stl, so no hoopshot for u.
sigor ros and mars volta in kc this year and not in kc. take that.

I think Great White had a gig at a place called The Inferno…oh wait a minute…
Yea sorry but KC has been KILLING STL lately with concerts.. So I gotta go with KC. (plus I had to go there to see Janet this year) And I would’ve went to see Tina too (u know it’s bad when she skips the town she grew up and got her start in.)
Was in KC this summer and experienced Latvian throat singing on the loading dock in the back of an art gallery and kangaroo boxing as performance art down the street - on the same night. Score 2 for KC.
The Cure Played Starlight and No STL date. But DMB at Busch trumps all!
