Go ask matchbox 20 if they can book a gig nowadays. Hell, they wouldn’t get the coke stage at stampede if they begged. Manson isn’t what he once was but he can still play arena shows, albeit much smaller than his heydays.

Matchbox 20 (I didn't even know they were still a band) apparently can still play 10-25K person arenas:
