Why do pop stars skip Asia?

It's bizzare to me how many pop girls skip Asia on tour. Worldwide stars like Beyoncé, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus and many others don't visit Asia. Japan alone is the second largest music market on earth and the touring potential is huge. So what gives? It seems Gaga might not even go there on her current tour.

a lot of artists just don't have any popularity in asia so there's no point in going somewhere where you can't sell out a venue

Is it expensive or the language barriers? I don't know but it sucks :(

They probably aren't that big in those markets and it wouldn't be worth it to put money into an Asian tour if it won't be massive. Plus they're still J-Pop/K-Pop crazy over there.

Ariana Grande goes to Japan quite a bit though :oprah: I'm not sure about the other girls though. I think it has to do with cost, just like how many pop acts don't go to South America very often :shrug:

Edit: I read Asia as Ariana :giveup: My mistake, please disregard that comment. :laughga:

Mess. Does she not have a big market there?

probably has a lot to do with expenses to put on a show there.... the transportation of the equipment all over such a huge continent for just a few shows (compared to a lot of countries being close in Europe, and cities being closer in the US), and maybe renting the arena is more expensive, the permits to put on a show, local taxes..... money basically
