Aren’t we all there to hear the music and bounce around?
Rock, DJ’s, who cares what your jam is.
Bounce around baby!

This is why so many festivals just fill up their lineups with tribute acts. People mostly want to sing and dance to songs they know. If the band is a few years old then chances are the tribute act will be more fun, because they’re mostly fans enjoying pretending to be The Stone Roses or whoever, while most artists who were famous a while back resent having to do the songs they wrote 30 years ago.
Just this summer I was talking to one of the managers at a semi-large festival. They used to always have original artists whose moment had passed, but one year the orgniser was persuaded to go with tributes. His expenditure went down to about 10%, and his takings, reviews, etc, remained the same. It’s been tributes ever since.
