Yeah, millions. Believe it or not, the Chicago metro area has more people than London, and the population here in the central U.S. dwarfs that of the entire country of Great Britain. And it's not like there's no market for DJs or electronica -- even here in Madison, recent shows by Girl Talk and Pretty Lights have sold out in record time. House and Techno originated here in the Midwest, not in New York or LA or London.
As to whether enough people want to see them: It's circular -- keep skipping a region when you tour, and fewer and fewer people in that area will want to see you the next time you come around. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
