oldprune Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Following on from the success of Elton John playing a concert at Chesterfield FC, multi-million selling artist Tom Jones is coming to the Proact Stadium for one night only on Saturday, June 7, 2014. Just think. If we had had decent management at the Don Valley Stadium these acts could have been booked to play there. http://www.chesterfield-fc.co.uk/news/article/20140108-tom-jones-1280538.aspx#zJoIDdsXxyt0uMOO.99.

Stoatwobbler Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Sheffield also has other venues such as the City Hall and the Arena. I think part of the attraction is the the Proact is a new venue and the likes of Elton John might not have played in Chesterfield before. Plus, in a small town like Chesterfield it's a bigger deal when a big name act such as Elton John plays there. Edited January 22, 2014 by Stoatwobbler .

willman Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 There is likely to be a financial incentive to visit a new venue rather than to visit a prominent and established venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that with established acts like Elton John usually the venues bid for the acts to come to them. Also to be honest I fail to see Elton John or Tom Jones selling out a 50 thousand arena nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, looking at the tour schedule there are a few odd places he's going to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeMaquis Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Tom Jones to play Chesterfield. Why not Sheffield Stadium. He's thinking of moving there and prefers the green, green grass of home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoilhat Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 He's thinking of moving there and prefers the green, green grass of home. And likes the convenience of a large tesco next door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
