The War On Drugs

Fast forward seven years, and the band's popularity has grown immensely. In 2021, their album "I Don't Live Here Anymore" soared to No. 3 on Billboard's Top Rock Albums chart. Despite this, they found themselves performing in a smaller venue, making mobility a limited option. Personal space became a luxury many of us couldn't afford if we wanted to be close to the action. In fact, I witnessed a near altercation nearby due to this constraint. It's a peculiar quirk of regional bookings that an act, like the War on Drugs, could sell out the massive 20,789-seat Madison Square Garden in January, only to be scheduled for the much cozier 1,300-capacity Revolution Live. But, as many of us in Florida know, the state has its quirks, and we endure them for the love of our favorite bands.
