After The Beatles and Queen, Led Zeppelin are the world’s best-selling band, having sold at least 143 million records worldwide.
The classic 70s rock band disbanded in 1980 after the sudden death of their drummer, John Bonham.
Nevertheless, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones have reunited for one-off gigs over the years, with Bonham’s son, Jason, on drums.
The last time Led Zeppelin performed live was on December 10, 2007 at the Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert.
Now, a new study of 2000 music-loving Brits compiled by all-in-one banking app thinkmoney found the band is the No 1 act Brits would pay to see live.
It turns out we’d pay up to £1583 for a ticket to such a concert, which could still happen if the trio changed their mind about the band’s retirement. Check out the full list below.
The Top 10 acts Brits would pay to see perform live:
1. Led Zeppelin – £1,583
2. Prince – £1,072
3. The Beatles – £1,070
4. The Rolling Stones – £1,063
5. Nirvana – £1,040
6. Elvis – £918
7. Adele – £823
8. David Bowie – £752
9. Taylor Swift – £690
10. Phil Collins – £661
Consumer expert Vix Leyton said: “There’s no denying the debate around ticket prices is getting louder, but the truth is that experiences still matter hugely to people so they’re still trying to make it work, even in the face of a cost-of-living crisis. A live show can be joyful, nostalgic and something you talk about for years, so fans are often willing to pay more than they would for an everyday purchase just to be part of that moment, and the data shows we rarely regret it. What matters is fans feeling confident about what they’re paying. Most people can live with a high price if they’ve chosen it, but nobody likes the feeling they’ve been swept along by a system that keeps pushing the number higher. A fair, transparent process goes a long way in keeping the joy in the experience and your faith in the artist, which is why things like dynamic prices are being discussed as high as parliament; particularly when you know the pints will likely leave you with no change from a tenner.”
