“The question of why more people than ever are willing to go to see tribute bands is a thorny one. Ten years ago, you could argue that the vast majority of tribute bands were offering something you couldn’t get anywhere else: they mimicked artists who had died or bands that had split up. Today, British venues are awash with tributes to current bands… Perhaps it’s indicative of the current resurgence of live music, and people just aren’t particularly troubled by who’s actually playing it.”
