I feel like the tour date table should be changed. Most of the other concert tours use this format which I will use as an example below from the Sixty tour article.
Example 1:
| Date (2022) | City | Country | Venue | Opening act(s) | Attendance | Gross |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 June | Madrid | Spain | Wanda Metropolitano | Sidonie Vargas Blues Band |
52,752 / 52,752 | $9,502,011 |
| 5 June | Munich | Germany | Olympiastadion | Reef | 56,144 / 56,144 | $10,484,400 |
| 9 June | Liverpool | England | Anfield | Echo & the Bunnymen | 36,917 / 36,917 | $6,194,285 |
Example 1 is the standard table used in most concert tour articles. For this article, this is the format which is being used.
Current Table:
| Date | City | Country | Venue | Opening act |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 28 April 2024 | Houston, Texas | United States | NRG Stadium | Gary Clark Jr |
| 2 May 2024 [a] | New Orleans, Louisiana | Fair Grounds Race Course | — | |
| 7 May 2024 | Glendale, Arizona | State Farm Stadium |
Carín León Electric Mud |
With the examples present, the question is: if the other concert tour articles can use the format of Example 1, why can't we apply that for this article? In my honest opinion, I think if the majority of concert tour articles use Example 1 for most of their tables, then this article should use it as well. But I digress, as I would like to see if a consensus can be built.

- I agree. Example 1 should be the used for this article also. Adding cities and states is understood by mostly United States residents, and could be confusing to list if the tour extends to other territories. Most tour tables only use city and don't name the state immediately after it.

- As far as I can tell, the differences are:
- A lack of attendance and gross figures
- Defined widths
- Re: #1: sure, please do add them, if you have
reliable sources. That would be great. Re: #2: there is no reason to define widths for these cells. In 2024, browsers are competent to render tables without being artificially told to fill them up with meaningless white space. ―

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Those articles should be changed. C'mon. Surely you know the
difference between what is and what should be. I would wager most tables on Wikipedia also lack table captions and most images lack alt text. Should we remove those accessibility features because 50%+1 lack them? Most articles of x words or longer have at least one unsourced statement, therefore more unsourced statements are okay? Honestly, this is just silly. Do you have absolutely any reason for preferring centered text and defined column widths other than "other stuff exists"?
