Or did 2Cellos jump on the Coppelius bandwagon? 2Cellos first album was released in 2011. Coppelius has been releasing albums since 2007, and has been around since the late 90's.

And old geezers like me might view the 2Cellos popularity as just the youngins getting their first exposure to cello rock, a genre that at least dates back to ELO, in the early 70's.

But can't really compare something like 2Cellos, who as far as I know simply play covers of other people's work, to groups like ELO and Coppelius, who actually play original works. I like hearing interesting original work in all genres, including what I have heard from Coppelius over the years.

That said, I am in total agreement, Julian, with your attitude regarding attendance at such live performances. The volume levels are unbearable at most live events for almost all styles of performance. My hearing protection goes everywhere I go, in a case on my keychain, and gets used much more often than it should. Don't get me started on wedding DJs.
