Many singers and bands in the music industry from various music genres have been rocking stages for decades all over the globe.
However, it’s fair to admit that there aren’t many of them still touring on a regular basis. Being active in the music business at the highest level for many years is more than challenging. Luckily for you, there are still many old but famous bands for whom you can buy tickets for events and enjoy their live performances.
With that in mind, let’s address the top 5 bands that are still active and perform live for their beloved music fans.
The Rolling Stones
Who should be first on the list, if not the legendary Rolling Stones? Unfortunately, Charlie Watts passed away recently, but the Stones decided to move forward and keep touring as they knew Charlie would have wished.
The other three members, the legendary Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, and Ronnie Wood, are luckily still alive and well, and have the energy to continue to perform even though they are in their 70s.
In short, there isn’t a band, especially not a rock band like The Rolling Stones. The Beatles, unfortunately, are not around for a long time, and we still haven’t seen anything similar to the British rock stars in the music industry.
Believe it or not, The Stones began their incredible musical journey back in 1962, and they are still at the top of the game.
The Who
Yet another legendary band, The Who, started to perform together back in 1964. In fact, both Pete Townsend and Roger Daltrey, along with the Who’s site name July 1962, as their first show in the Paradise Club in Peckham under another name. However, they changed it to The Who in February 1964, and even though they had several pauses through the years, they are still active today.
They may not have the rock stardom status as The Rolling Stones, but they certainly have the level of quality music, lyrics, and songs that have been enjoyed and loved by generations and generations over the years.
The best news is that you can still see them perform live at solo concerts but also at music festivals.
Metallica
When it comes to more heavy music and metal, Metallica is the king of the ring. This fantastic band has made hard rock and metal music a genre that is accepted and appreciated by millions of people all over the globe.
Metallica is known for its long concerts since they have many legendary songs, so their live shows sometimes last even more than three hours; nevertheless, their stage performances are still electrifying. A fun fact is that the members of Metallica are the only musicians that have played live on every continent on our planet. That’s right; they made a Metallica Antarctica concert that became a new Guinness World Record.
The legendary collaboration between James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, along with guitarist Kirk Hammett and the latest bass player member, Robert Trujillo, has made Metallica show everyone that they are still number one in the metal world and one of the best music bands of all time.
Guns N’ Roses
We all know the story about Guns N’ Roses, so it’s fair to say that it’s not true they have been active continuously since 1985. Axl Rose was, and he acted like there’s no royalty-free music even when it comes to his long-time band members, but that’s not the entire band.
However, they managed to reunite back together!
Unfortunately, some legendary members, such as Izzy Stradlin and Steven Adler, aren’t part of the reunion, but Slash and Duff have been back together with Axl for a while now. And the news was a sensation right away, and it still is since they are touring worldwide.
Guns have played almost in every part of the world, even before the reunion, but things are now even more special after all the bad blood was washed away. They still haven’t released a new album since the reunion, but nevertheless, they sound amazing live, and you should certainly check them out the first chance you get.
Aerosmith
Last on the list, but equally important, are Aerosmith, that have been playing since 1970. Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Joey Kramer, Tom Hamilton, and Brad Whitford are touring all over the world and making audiences happy.
Of course, members have changed over the years, but these five rock legends are now making the Aerosmith crew, most of them part of the band from the beginning. From hard rock and glam metal to blues rock and heavy metal, Aerosmith has it all.
So, the thing that remains for you to do is to buy concert tickets and enjoy some of these bands’ performances live, or why not buy tickets for all of them and have the ultimate rock experience!
