The reunion tour economy is out of control (and we're not mad about it)
Written by Mara Voss. | Photography by Charles Leon
Every band you thought was done is suddenly back on a stage somewhere, and ticket prices have officially entered "sell a kidney" territory. But here's the thing — nobody's complaining. There's something about watching a band you loved at fifteen play the same setlist twenty years later that hits different than any new release could.
Call it nostalgia, call it a shared cultural moment finally getting its flowers, call it the algorithm resurrecting things it thinks we miss — either way, the reunion circuit isn't slowing down. Venues are booking years out, resale prices are absurd, and somehow people keep paying it.
Maybe it's less about the music and more about proving the era actually happened. Either way, see you in line for presale.
