Future Preview 2/3/24 - 12/13/24
Here’s the latest Future Preview… it starts with a list of onsales, most of which happen Friday morning, and presales, most of which also become public onsales Friday morning…
The complete Future Preview is a perk for sponsoring and founding subscribers (many thanks to all of them!) though everyone can see through next weekend to get a feel for what it’s about and do some near term planning…
Access to the complete version can be very useful for longer term planning, so if you're not yet able to see it, please consider upgrading to a sponsoring subscription to support the list’s mission while receiving full access to all of the Future Preview information about music event opportunities available in the more distant future…
Please enjoy Future Preview, share it with those who might also enjoy it, and let me know what you think...
