So, a topic came up at work

[DinkinFlicka]

Tracy Chapman.

Justin Beaver would fill it up. His concerts sell out in minutes.

I like a lot of their stuff, but I'm far from a huge fan. There are a lot of Foo fans out there, and they packed Wembley (capacity 90,000) a few years ago (2008). I think they would come as close as any current group - but they wouldn't sellout Neyland in that short time frame.

The concert jimmy Paige and John Paul Jones were at? If that was known ahead of time, then I bet a lot of those ticket sales were to see them.

 

[chavisut]

Zep

 

[govols/cc]

Skynard, Floyd, GNR, possibly zeppelin or AC/DC

 

[YankeeVol]

Lynyrd Skynyrd

I wasn't aware that Paige/JPJ were a part of that concert - if they were, no wonder they packed that place to the rafters, haha.

Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesey.

 

[GahLee]

The only right answer to the OP question is ...no one.

Nobody could do it.

 

[GahLee]

What's with all the acdc talk? I seen them in '97 at TBA and there were empty seats and tickets were on sale months in advance.

 

[GahLee]

Just want to add that I think the Stones come the closest to being able to pull it off.

 

[DrRosenRosen]

Strange no one mentioned Phish.

In the right situation, Phish could sell it out. Probably have to a reunion show after being off the road for a few years. They probably couldn't do it during a normal tour.

Or, they could hold one of their big festivals there and sell it out.

If the Stones were to play their last show ever, they would do it.

They came out for an encore and played a couple songs with the Foo. Dave Grohl moved over to drums and let Paige take over at guitar/vocals. It was pretty awesome, but I'm not sure if they had announced they would be there.

(*I started it*)


Situation: A band/performer (not a group of performers, not a tour, etc) announces a stadium concert. There's a catch, though. It's that night, less than 18 hours from the time of announcement. I was using Neyland Stadium as the arena (capacity: 107,455 IIRC).

In the right situation, Phish could sell it out. Probably have to a reunion show after being off the road for a few years.

Think that is what would disqualify Phish, their crowd would way more advance notice to mobilize and converge.

I honestly think Taylor Swift possibly could. IIRC concert at TBA sold out in about 15 mins

Big difference. 100,000 in 18 hours time is gonna be near impossible for anyone.

 

[STIFFLER14]

Metallica and dave mathews band are 2 i think would sell out

 

[DynamiteMcGhee]

My god the bro overload that DMB would draw if they sold out Neyland.

 

[Burhead]

I'd kill to see Paul and Ringo do a concert together. I think they might be able to do it.

 

[Chris4Vols22]

My god the broverload that DMB would draw if they sold out Neyland.

Fyp.

What if DMB and Journey did it? Fricking shoot me 12 times, please.

 

[Regulator]

AC/DC could definitely do it. Good following and they don't tour often. Several venues for the Black Ice tour sold out in minutes.

 

[NEO]

GNR original line up....sold out in 5 minutes.
