I think it's good for the artists and bad for the fans. Look at the bigger US marekts now, or the UK for comparison. Smaller markets make better crowds, make a better experience for those involved - with few exceptions like the DEMF, but I don't think that's what you're talking about. A lot of prominent DJs love to DJ in smaller cities and smaller venues for this reason. The crowds are better.
