This topic actually raises some interesting points about what motivates people to attend events/stay at home. In the case of MK, is it the man, the music or a mixture of both? Even on this forum, there is obviously a mixture of viewpoints & I would think that most forum members probably are 'hardcore fans'.
I'm actually considering attending this event, partly because I have to confess that I'm curious about it, but also because of how I feel about this music. I welcome opportunities to hear it performed (well). As a member of a DS tribute, perhaps I have a skewed perspective on this, as I'd obviously like people to be enthused about MK's songs as well as his personal performances. However if you think outside the realms of 'popular' music, it's not unusual to appreciate performers who have not taken part in the writing process, or indeed may have been born hundreds of years after the music was first performed. Yet this doesn't actually detract from the performances themselves. No doubting that this event would be of more interest if MK (and JI), were participating, but I'm starting to think that for me, the music itself might actually be enough to tempt me out for this.
