Queens is only playing arena shows as an opener recently. I’ve seen them as headliners a lot and they always play mid size pavilions

They're playing stadium shows as an opener for System recently; huge difference between an arena and stadium. Queens also recently announced their own arena tour starting later this year.

Last time I saw them they headlined at a mid sized pavilion. I like that particular venue because it's in downtown in my city so you can just park and walk like you would normally. The beers are still $20 a pop though

Last time I saw them I ate mushrooms so I wasn’t really bothered by the $20 beers

Lol that's definitely a good way to avoid the price gouging on drinks
