RoadPony is a new way to support musicians by crowdsourcing concerts

I would love for this to work, but I'm wondering how well itt actually might?

Performers likely know already where their fans are, especially if they're on services such as Spotify which aggregate location data of listeners.

This reminds me of this one guy in high school who went to a concert abroad to see Alter Bridge and managed to catch up with them as they were about to enter the venue. He tried convincing them to come play in Sweden. They promised to do so if he gathered enough interest and gave him a huge lot of stickers with their logo that he put all over town.

Do you know Rockin1000 [0]?

In 2015, a thousand of (mostly italian) musicians played simultaneously "Learn to Flight" as a way to ask the Foo Fighters to visit the town of Cesena, Italy. Dave Grohl then agreed to have their last tour date in Cesena :)

I hadn't heard of that. That's really cool!

By all accounts I've heard Dave Grohl seems to be a really nice person.
