When Do You Become A Stadium Act?

After you’ve played one?

Do you have to be the headliner?

What about the moment just before you step on a stadium stage?

What about when the agent books the stadium gig?

What about when you’re rehearsing for the prospect of a stadium gig?

When you think you’re good enough for a stadium?

When you’ve been a good steward of the smaller gigs?

When you finally have pyrotechnics?


There’s just enough gray area to say…

When do you become a stadium act?

You decide.

***A few years ago Lady Gaga played at the 5 Spot in Nashville. A capacity of about two hundred. Was she a stadium act when she was playing that show?
