Generally does, mostly because Manchester is already on the tour. It's much easier to get back from Manchester to Leeds / Liverpool than it is to get back from Leeds to Liverpool, for example, which can mean that in additional to cannibalising sales, people will plump for the other out of convenience.

 

A lot really does just depend on the size of the market though. Iron Maiden did every UK arena on their 2017 run, and the only ones they didn't sell out? Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield.

 

You generally only make that mistake once as a booker though if you don't pull it off.

 

A Leeds absence from pop-punk tours can also suggest a slot at Slam Dunk however. There's a lot in play.

 

Born in Sheff, now living in West Yorks, this has ever been an issue.  To be fair, I think Manc comes out in the lead as it's more accessible from the other cities and Sheff misses out the most on arena tours for some reason.  Luckily, in smaller venues (which I much prefer) lots of bands do all 4.

Sheffield got a lot more before Leeds opened its doors. Generally think Leeds has better transportation links, again, for many.
