What concerts do you want to see in Pittsburgh?

Written by Scott Mervis on .

metallicaThe one-day sellout of the AC/DC show told us what we already know about Pittsburgh -- it loves the metal.

So why aren't we getting Metallica?

Seems like a natural that the band, having recently discovered its awesomeness, would play here on the "Death Magnetic" current tour. But it seems like they always skip Pittsburgh, even with dates in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. in January.

Of the top 20 tours listed on Pollstar, only five (AC/DC, Eagles, Dylan, Smashing Pumpkins, Motley Crue and Buckcherry) are scheduled to play here or have played here recently (see the list below).

Those are the big, mainstream shows. There are lots of smaller, indie bands people want to see here as well.

I'd be interested to know who you're waiting to see in Pittsburgh....

Here's the Pollstar list:

1. AC/DC

2. Metallica

3. Coldplay

4. Eagles

5. Bob Dylan

6. Neil Young

7. Depeche Mode

8. Oasis

9. Madonna

10. Tina Turner

11. The Killers

12. Smashing Pumpkins

13. The Who

14. Motley Crue

15. Queen + Paul Rodgers

16. Beastie Boys

17. Beck

18. Buckcherry

19. New Kids On The Block

20. Nine Inch Nails
