Rubber Soldier Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 This thread has gone mental. Pretty sure some of the people thumping the 1975 drum are the same ones claiming Led Zep wouldn’t pull a big crowd. Insanity. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on guys! Bar an ABBA reunion, the biggest 3 bands, with members still alive that could ever be booked would be Led Zep, Fleetwood Mac and Pink Floyd! None of those would have a half empty field.

Zeppelin would pull a huge crowd no question, just not as big as FM these days. I know about 30 people (all under 26) going next year and struggle to think of any that would be arsed about Zeppelin.

This is outrageous. I don't know who you think the average Led Zep (or FM) fans are, and why they'd have such an opinion of the 'unwashed masses'. This is such a baseless assessment of their fan base, and actually very inaccurate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whateverworksout Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 I’m 26 and mentioned led zeppelin in our glasto group chat, 1 person was excited the other 8 myself included aren’t bothered, would maybe go for a song or two to say we’ve seen them and then go somewhere else, don’t think I could name you a song without opening Spotify. they’d get a big crowd, but I’m not sure a big crowd would stay for the full set 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think maybe it seems that way because FM are a going concern these days and in the public eye. If Led Zep reformed and announced a tour (regardless of a Glastonbury appearance), they'd be breaking records everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mash011 Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 look the 1975 might not get as big a crowd as led zeppelin would, but they would objectively play a better set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is using your own lack of interest as evidence of everyone else's lack of interest... I couldn't name more than one Taylor Swift song. This has absolutely no bearing on her popularity or suitability as a headliner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Oasis got a bigger crowd than Page & Plant the year the pair of them actually did play Kashmir on the Pymild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Not sure I've ever seen such an excited reaction in the surrounding vicinity from a bar playing a jam than I did this year when the Inn on the Green put on Fleetwood Mac's Dreams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but I'd argue the average age at a Zeppelin concert would be almost double that of Glastonbury. Whereas a FM Concert would be similarly aligned.

Glasto punters definitely skew younger, even if it's got.a better age spread than other festivals. Fleetwood Mac's recent tour was heavily attended by millennials (as others in this thread have pointed out). They also have more Spotify listeners than Zeppelin, even if it's only be a few million a month. We know that the majority of Spotify users are millennials (Spotify have confirmed this in the past).

Led Zep have twice as many followers that the Mac on Spotify. And if FM have more plays, I think it's because this is based on per song plays. Led Zep have loads of long songs.

Tuna Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) Led Zep would destroy their legacy by being massively upstaged by Taylor anyway so that would be cool. Edited October 11, 2019 by Tuna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackZeppelin Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 I can't believe this is even a debate. FM vs Led Zeppelin? Led Zeppelin would break all records. Fucking hell, does nobody care about the rules anymore?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think "Followers" is as relevant on Spotify (don't think I follow any artist). Fleetwood have 14.5 Million Monthly Spotify listeners. Led Zeppelin have 12.9 Million Monthly Spotify listeners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine she'll bash out a few tunes on the piano and acoustic, and she's played it a couple of times at shows since Lover came out so there's a decent chance we'll get it I reckon. It will bring the metaphorical house down. It crushes audiences every time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
