The crowd-pleasing, club-wrecking, festival-killing road
rulers
Who rules the road in 2013? To find out, Rolling Stone asked
a panel of writers, industry figures and artists – from Lars Ulrich of Metallica
to Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes – to vote on their favorite live
performers right now. To be eligible for the list, a performer must have toured
within the last five years and not announced their retirement. So, from the
Stones to Skrillex, from Gaga to Green Day, here they are – the 50 most
crowd-pleasing, club-wrecking, festival-killing live acts right now.
