I was just checking concert tour listings on Pollstar to see who was coming to town. Orlando's Matchbox Twenty is on the Top 50 list with a tour. There are two Florida dates: Hollywood on January 25th and Tampa on the next night.
So what about Orlando? The hometown isn't good enough for the boys who used to play at The Mill? I think the last time they played here was back in 2003. Actually, it was a great show. They played up the hometown angle and Rob Thomas wanted to call the venue the "O-Rena" just for the night. They did a great cover of U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name", too.
Don't expect any love from Matchbox Twenty this time around, Orlando. I guess they've outgrown us.
