The Rolling Stones play NRG Stadium on Sunday. How much longer will classic rock continue to sell out such venues?on Sunday night. If you haven’t seen them, you should, if only because seeing arguably the greatest band in rock history is something any music fan should witness. Plus, as Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and crew enter their 80s, you never know how many more chances to see the Stones will arise. Of course, given Keith may outlive us all, it might be a somewhat moot point.
Sure, the genre will continue to fare well enough in the coming years, as aforementioned artists like the Stones and Springsteen not only continue to release new music, but to tour on it. And a list of theis somewhat promising. The Red Hot Chili Peppers are still a major draw; Phish still jamming to thousands of adoring fans; Metallica still giving fans their money’s worth.
Of the top 10 rock tours of last year, only two bands – Muse and Coldplay – are anywhere near their commercial primes. Muse is massive overseas and a solid draw stateside, but it’s hard to fathom Muse as a band that will ever be considered “classic” rock. Coldplay? Please. Point being, how many mainstream rock acts, currently in their musical prime, could sell out Toyota Center? The number is few, if any, and that’s troubling.
