The demand for reunion tours continues. These are the most wished-for.

There can be big, BIG dollars in getting the band back together again. A British ticket reseller called Fanatix conducted a survey of about 4,000 people, asking them, “Who would you like to see back together and on the road again in 2027?”

Surprise. Oasis was number one.

Funny that The Smiths aren’t on this list. Neither are Talking Heads.

The press release also included this nugget: “Nearly half (48%) of nostalgia act ticket buyers in 2025 were first-time buyers, only marginally behind the 55.6% first-time buyer rate for brand-new artists, proving that rediscovery is now running almost in parallel with discovery in live entertainment.”
