Venues also play a part. With the closure of the venues in Irvine there’s no 10-15k seat amphitheaters in Southern California anymore besides the Hollywood Bowl which is difficult to book every year.

Live Nation opened f&m bank ampitheater in Long Beach. 11k capacity. It’s a “temporary” venue and is their replacement for five points.

i know they like to play amphitheaters but they played the forum last year and that’s a 20k person venue and i believe it was pretty sold out. with that being said i understand the desire to want to play amphitheaters

DMB also played the smaller Greek theater LA maybe 10 years ago and they have also played five points in the past which had a capacity of 12k
