I was looking at some upcoming scheduling for major entertainment spectacles recently, and it really got me thinking about how much "event fatigue" is setting in. It feels like every year, everything has to be bigger, longer, and spread out over more nights just to justify the ticket price or the subscription cost.
Don't get me wrong, I love a good spectacle. There's something special about that high-energy atmosphere when a big crowd gathers for a massive show. But lately, it feels like the "event" status is being used as a way to stretch content thin. When you have these massive two-night formats, does it actually make the experience better, or does it just feel like they're trying to squeeze every last drop of attention out of the weekend?
I remember back in the day when a single big night felt like a genuine, concentrated burst of excitement. Now, it feels like we're being asked to commit entire weekends to things that might feel a bit diluted if they aren't perfectly paced.
Do you guys prefer these massive, multi-day marathons, or do you think we've reached a point of diminishing returns with these huge touring spectacles?
