Guest BigThompers Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 The venues they are playing are 20-25K. The 'Biggest band in the world' would surely get more? Muse got 60 thousand at Wembley by the way... Coldplay have sold 3 gigs out at the o2 Arena. Why wouldn't they just do Wembley instead? I'm fairly sure that getting as many people into one gig as possible isn't top of their agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
