selling out venues of around 1500-2000 doesn't mean you're out of the 2nd tier yet. Umphrey's McGee is selling out much larger venues than that and I still consider them 2nd tier behind bands like Panic and Phish.
these bands sell out amphitheater size venues consistently.
you have to ask, could Yonder Mountain anchor a summer tour of amphitheaters? the answer is no.
