The Smiths have more Spotify streams than Oasis. Zoom zooms love them. Theyre more popular than The Cure.
Morrissey did 1 night last month at the Manchester Co op to 20,000 people. Sold out in a couple of days. The man is a mancunian Elvis, as Liam puts it.
Plus Johnny Marr will probably be making a guest appearance at the Oasis Manchester shows. Noel has done smiths covers at shows and keeps talking about how he wants to play backup guitar on a reunion tour. all helps raise the profile.
Boomers on here have no idea how popular they are with under 25s. plus the oldheads and people who missed them 1st time around. Nostalgia sells and they have a strong image/songs. Plus the allure of seeing a band who influenced everyone else and who have never reformed - the novelty will draw all the Glastonbury crowd who want to say they were there when it happened.
Would they sell out Heaton Park? Obviously not, because chavs don't listen to intelligent well crafted pop music. It's chavs and the General Population who buy Oasis tickets. You can't really compare the two.
But they'd definitely clean up on a world tour and do 20k venues in the UK.
Morrissey's fan base in America is bigger and more dedicated than Oasis. It's why he's worth 50 million despite not being 'famous' like Liam and Noel. Smiths will reunite and it will be huge. Watch this space.
