We all have those bands that we’d see over and over again. What makes it hard, however, is when said bands are from another country and only come to the United States every once in a while. What’s worse, however, is when your favorite band does a tour but fails to stop anywhere near where you actually live. Here are the 10 stages of grief that you go through when your favorite band does a U.S. tour, but doesn’t actually have any shows near you.
1. Excitement. Yay! They’re going on tour!
2. Happiness. I get to see them again! I didn’t think this would actually happen, especially since they’re a foreign band.
3.Hope. I know that they have to be coming to Dallas…or Kansas City…maybe Oklahoma City? No?
4. Confusion. But, but, but… How can they come all of the way to the United States and not come near where I live? Ugh. How dare they?
5. Motivated. I’ll do whatever it takes to see them. WHATEVER IT TAKES!
6. Realization. You realize that you have obligations to life and can’t drop everything to fly across the country for one night.
7. Hurt. Love hurts. What a tease. Why did they do this to me?
8. Denial. I’m probably just reading the list wrong, right? There has to be a show near me.
9. Depression. All I wanted to do was see them again and my dreams are crushed. How am I supposed to go on like this?
10. Hope. The only thing stronger than fear is hope. Maybe they’ll add some tour dates to a city near me!
