Every act here passed three checks:

  1. It climbs at least 5 places with a town venue's fans, and at least 5 more than with a venue abroad of similar Qloo popularity.
  2. Its popularity is inside the tier's range.
  3. It shares two genres with the headliners.

Fans of any busy venue lift some acts; a venue abroad with similar Qloo popularity shows how much of the climb is this town's.

Of the acts that pass all three, the strongest Qloo match takes each slot.
