| Not Beiber, not Zeppelin, not AC/DC.
KISS may be able to do it. Maybe. |

I just looked up some stuff about their 360 Tour. They set attendance records for 60 venues. They got 97,000 people in the Rose Bowl. They could probably sell out Neyland very quick. | |

U2 is the only act I can think of that would realisitcally have a shot at it. And that makes me really sad. | |

Posted via VolNation Mobile | Hahaha they're not the worst band, but I just don't understand how they're so popular. I know people really like Bono as a humanitarian, but I don't think that should give him a pass for the mediocre music he sells millions of copies of. Lol sorry, just my taste. I'm sure the vast majority of posters here would make fun of the music I like haha. | |

| In my case, I like U2 despite Bono. I think he's a douche. Quote:

I don't think any band/group/performer alive today could sell out Neyland given that short a time frame (east Tennessee isn't densely populated enough). Youtube, high ticket/gas prices, and MP3s are just a nail in that coffin.
If they were all alive, the Beatles could do it. A young MJ in his musical prime could do it. Given more notice, I think the Foo Fighters would come as close as any active band/group, including U2. | |
