I do remember The Zutons supporting REM though. Manics did support oasis on at least one tour so would have been that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute torture listening to them for an hour before the band we went to see came out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tickets were no where near that price, mind you probably same for all! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the price of tickets so far this year, Foo Fighters @ Villa Park £180.00ea Manic Street Preachers & Suede @ Edinburgh Castle £59.50ea And December will be Paul Heaton (with Zutons as support) @ P&J £35.00ea The variance in prices scary. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say Nickelback (who still have Chad Kroeger as a front man), but they played the Utilita in Birmingham as part of a European tour in May, and released an album in 2022. Yet, they may as well have disbanded fifteen years ago. ETA: Green Day is probably a better shout in general.

Green Day have been touring this year for the 30th anniversary of Dookie! and the 20th anniversary of American Idiot, including a show at Wembley. Since American Idiot they've put out 5 or 6 albums. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count Mongo del Fantastico Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Anyone mentioned Stereophonics? Fecking everywhere in the late 90s/early 2000s. Now, not so much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 How about acts that were everywhere... then disappeared... then reappeared and were everywhere again? Tina Turner would be the prime example. Huge in the 60s. Completely forgotten by the end of the 70s but launched a comeback and was huge again in the 80s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
