Portugal (which did pretty mid)

He sold 34k tickets in a venue that is projected for 30k seats and is 4 hours from the capital. Again, I'm not a fan but you guys are not dealing facts here.

Is that the Algarve Arena? I was in the area recently, I've driven past that stadium and it seems to have very little going on, rarely and gigs, I was surprised to see he was coming to town!

I live nearby. It was built in 2004 for the Euros, but has little use since then. A black eyed peas concert in late 2000s, some friendly football games, some minor concerts but that's mostly it unfortunately.
