There are dozens and dozens, if not scores, of Legacy acts from the 60's, 70's and 80's that continue to sell out amphitheaters, arenas and even stadiums.
Which artists borne of this millennia will follow suit?

Probably none. I think perhaps Taylor Swift can sustain though as she releases a lot of music and seems to have a pretty wide age range of people who like her music.
Personally I don't find the current music very appealing either, but musicians these days come and go so quickly and there is just so much more variety and options to be consumed than ever before (I think). The question I would have though, is the reason musicians come and go quickly and are not likely to be long lasting bands because of a lack of talent and creativity or because of how quickly trends change and how the current culture is much more geared towards the newest, regardless of quality?
