I think yes, but they're not good enough at selling themselves. I can almost guarantee that The Stones will do a tour likely in 2022 to 1) make up for the 2020 tour that was aborted and 2) make extra money because they can sell it as a 60th anniversary. Charlie will be 80 and Ronnie as the youngest will be 75. But their business model is totally different - a "tour" that will at most be 20 shows, spaced out at only two per week, and only in stadiums.

I don't know that Fleetwood Mac can successfully do that kind of marketing and I really don't think they can continue to do the type of huge touring that they have done for the last 25 years. Physically I doubt they can handle playing every other night anymore and doing 100 shows.
