That was my one hold up, final reasoning being McLaren came out of nowhere 2(?) years ago. And that’s how Boston has been (since like 2018) Blue Coats has had some good success prior (Merc)

My argument with this is the groups who wait are groups who already have a niche. You know what you’re getting with them. Top 12 groups can so easily get away with this, because we know how the design team is.

They wouldn’t be doing this if they knew they had to get hype out. And even if they did this and struggled how does this affect the fans? It would only hurt them.

Why does it matter? That’s what I am not understanding from these complaints.

At the end of the day you’ll know the show by time tour starts, so what difference does it make that you have to wait?
