[[File:Zipper.jpg | right | thumb | Alexander Zane 'Zipper' Reid Lowe]]
Zane Lowe (full name Alexander Zane 'Zipper' Reid Lowe) is a New Zealand radio DJ, live DJ, producer and TV presenter. After a brief career in DJ-ing and producing in New Zealand, he moved to the UK in 1997 and started presenting on XFM (now Radio X) and MTV Europe. In 2003, he started hosting a global music show on BBC Radio 1 which he hosted until 2015, when he moved to Apple's radio station, Beats 1, in Los Angeles, becoming one of their prime-time presenters and their music curator. Between years 2002 and 2015, he presented Gonzo on MTV, which was the flagship music show.


== Analysis and Explanation ==
As part of his hip hop DJ career, he played at a number of festivals including Coachella, Glastonbury and Bestival, and has toured with artists such as [[Kasabian]], Skrillex, The Weeknd and The Prodigy. He was also a regular performer at Ibiza and Mallorca Rocks. Lowe opened for Muse as a warm-up act during both nights at Wembley Stadium in 2007, on [[London Wembley Stadium 2007 - 16th (gig)|16th]] and [[London Wembley Stadium 2007 - 17th (gig)|17th of June]]. He also supported Muse at the [[Teignmouth Den 2009 - 5th (gig)|Seaside Rendezvous in Teignmouth]] in 2009.
Follow Me is a standard pop song with electronic and dubstep elements which made it a good candidate for a single. As a result, during The 2nd Law Tour it would make consistent appearances at nearly every gig, the second highest performance count from that era of any song with the sole exception of Madness. After 2013, however, it has yet to make a single appearance in a live concert. Alongside other singles Survival, Supremacy and Panic Station, it has rarely made an appearance since. The band revealed that many songs from The 2nd Law wouldn't be performed again because of being "complicated to perform live" (this most likely refers to Survival and Follow Me). The band have acknowledged the song during the Drones Tour, at one point taking a photo of a truck with a flashing "FOLLOW ME" light on its roof, but have yet to perform the song since 2013.
