Reckon this years resale will be massive. Just reading on this forum so much has changed - Children, break ups, financial changes, some people losing interest, new commitments in 2022. Not to mention people who cancelled last year thinking that it was going ahead and they had commitments.

reading through this forum I reckon there is going to be alot of tickets up for grabs. Alot has changed in the 2+ years we waiting- children, break ups, changes in financial circumstances and not forgetting people who would of cancelled last year thinking it was going ahead and had other commitments.

So you have an issue with under 30 but under 22 is ok? . Big age milestones are 16, 18 , 21 and 30 then its 40 so choosing 30 is wholly appropriate cut off. Otherwise how else can you split an audience. Age is a big influence, if I was born in 2010s I would be more likely to be a rap fan as Rock doesn't have a hold on the industry as much. Ive never argued that under 30s dont like Macca ( highly likely they like the Beatles vs his solo stuff) I've just said that its not making it on young people Spotify wrappeds which would indicate its not at the forefront of their listening habits. People will enjoy Macca but what I've argued is younger people have lots of others they prefer headline. Like I said before, Lionel Richie got a massive crowd, doesn't mean people want him to headline over Arctic monkeys

😂 I dont think you know what point youre making. You said "Your under 30's scenario is arbitrary and generalising to the point of meaningless."- the post youre commenting on argue against that. Please re-read my response to you. we're making different points

This guy gets it @Hugh Jass @Florian Saucer Attack - Its not hard.

Again not what I argued. Never said all under 30's aren't fussed. nice try but focus on what im arguing. Ill repeat my argument - Other artists e.g. Kendrick and Taylor would be bigger headliners for more under 30's because they are at the forefront of the industry. If they were given the option to see Kendrick/Taylor vs Macca, more would opt for Kendrick. (For note I would rather see Macca). The reason being Macca and the Beatles aren't at the forefront of the industry currently. Lionel Richie got a massive crowd, doesn't mean under 30s want him over the arctic monkeys as a headliner. If the Beatles really still hit with Younger people on a deeper level - get back doc would of been a much bigger hit. (Didn't crack the top 10 original acquired shows when released and Peter Jackson said that those who watched were majority over 55) Not saying they are irrelevant. Im saying that under 30s acknowledge them and respect them and listen to them but they aint on the top of their lists on who should headline.

Back tracking a bit aren't we? Never said under 30s wouldn't be interested. I commented on someone who argued that Macca was a massive headliner and I said it was a generational thing why the OP wouldn't consider it. That people under 30 would generally wouldn't consider him being a massive headliner. You had the rigid view that Macca is massive and I argued that its a perspective.

Jheez take some time to actually read what I said instead of writing an argument on what you think I said to fit your needs. It really doesn't come off smart. My argument is not whether under 30s listen to the Beatles at all. Its the frequency and volume >"as a significant proportion of their music times" (Should have said listening hours). I listen to the Beatles but I listen to Oasis and The Killers more. Taylor swift is undoubtedly more frequent and captures that demographic more. Fact. Just look at her numbers on Spotify. Doesn't have to be Taylor, could be any current artist. How many people under 30 get their Spotify wrapped and the Beatles are anywhere on that list. Again you guys just presume things about me or try and put words in my mouth. Clearly anyone who says anything about Macca gets you rattled. Literally said the Beatles is the greatest rock band ever. I listen to all sorts of older music - Tribe called quest, Oasis, Bowie e.c.t but sure you... got me pegged and presume I limit myself. Log off for the day - its actually embarrassing

My point exactly - you're not too interested in any of the headliners. Exactly what im getting at

You're just being flippant now... Do you really think the people under 30 are listening to the Beatles as a significant proportion of their music times. Or better yet, how many have them on their playlists. Vast majority would have music from the last 15 years and they will have elements from older eras. Thanks for proving my point, Perspective is important to relevancy. Her music is more relevant to young people. Wasn't hard was it? Im going in a big group., Macca isn't high on their lists. Different generations, different tastes. We can appreciate his music and his standing but we do the same with Lionel Richie. Jheez you are really out of touch with young people. The argument of who's music will last is just dumb. Really doesn't matter for someone who doesn't listen to the Beatles but listens to Taylor in the here in now. Im going to the festival this summer, dont really care about the next 60 years. Never seen someone so rattled by someone saying that they aren't as excited to see Macca as other people.

Never said he wasn't a legend . I even said he was part of the most consequential band of all time. Stop putting words in my mouth just because I dont gush over Macca headlining. Get back wasn't out when he was originally announced so the comment is moot. Sorry but relevance still applies to him - its a matter perspective. Kendrick is a bigger star than Macca if you're aged 16-30. Taylor is a bigger and more relevant to the same demographic. Its cos they're at the forefront of the music industry. They have massive launch parties and massive listening number which Macca doesn't match. Someone who is under 30 wouldn't rank him highly as must see headliners. That's the point im trying to get across.

A generational thing. I wouldn't consider him a massive headliner personally. Think the Beatles are the greatest and most consequential rock band of all time but none of my friends are hyped about him headlining. Hes not in the forefront of the music industry now.

Oasis were synonymous with Brit pop and once Be here now came out that was the end of Brit pop. Shame really, Listening to Noel's remaster of "Do you know what I mean?" released that the album had potential but the brothers needed a break before their 3rd.

Oasis was a cultural phenomenon. They were the biggest band in the world and we havent seen anything like that since in the Rock world. Liams great and hes big but hes no where near Oasis levels.
