Tough question, but it mostly depends on you.
Web development has more demand and more dependency on the company/place where you'll work, because better income depends on how your boss looks at you.
As a musician you'll get precent of the income and it will then depend on how many people will like your music and how good is your producer.
This is a choice you will need to make alone.
People might recommend one of the two, but maybe you will succeed more in the other one you didn't choose.

Whatever you enjoy, the one that you won't get bored of, the one you won't get sick and tired off and one that is manageable for you.

Like xkirill said, it's your choice, after all it's your life. Just choose what you love the most doing, don't base it on money.

Programming -> safe job, safe money
Music -> you love doing it(for now); not safe: if you're lucky, you could become the next BigStar Doggy Dogg and make millions of dollars(which is pretty unlikely to happen) or you could end up having a concert per month in a creepy/crappy bar with the "public" too drunk to understand a word of your lyrics >> become an alcooholic >> become crack addict >> become homeless >> suicide/get arrested/etc.
It's up to you to make the choice.
i don't see why you couldn't do both

Hey,
Oh man, we cannot simply answer you. Can you show us your some works ? Otherwise it wouldn't be easy to tell you.
You may simply show for web!

There are tons of wanna-be musicians.
There are tons of wanna-be web developers.
I don't think any of them can guarantee you a job in the future, but probably web developer is the safer choice out of the two. Making such life choices on a young age is way too hard to be honest.
