The veteran rockers broke their own 1994 record that made 121.2 million dollars then, and were followed by U2's Vertigo tour, which came in second after raking in 138.9 million dollars, according to US trade publication Pollstar." TOP TOURS - Stats / Here are the top 10 Tours Worldwide regardless of the years the tour may fall in. Top 1.
Rolling Stones "A Bigger Bang Tour" 2005-2006
Should be the highest Grossing tour of all time by the time
it finishes in August 2006. Projected Gross is slightly
above $400 million. At #6 is likely Bruce Springsteens "Rising Tour" which did about $157.3 million in the USA, and probably another $75 million outside of North America for a total of around $230 million worldwide. This could be a little higher or lower, and would require a look up of the European Boxscores from 2003 to get a confirmed total. At #7 is likely the Eagles "Hell Freezes Over Tour" which started in 1994 and went through the end of 1996. The tour Grossed $140 million dollars just from its North American dates in 1994 and 1995. It then did another $20 million in North America in 1996. Shows outside North America were smaller in number, but with a total North American Gross of $160 million from nearly 3 years of touring, its likely that the global total is around $200 million. The
next 3 tours are close in GROSS, but I only have exact figures
for one, which is POPMART, so I'll put it first. The farwell tours by Tina Tour and Cher were both large extensive multi-year tours that might be competitive enough for the top 10. I don't have the international figures, but in North America, Tina Turner did $80.2 million. She likely did as much if not more outside North America. Cher's 2002-2003 North American total was a massive $141.8 million. Also, Paul McCartney's recent tour from 2002 could be a contender but I'm not sure how many shows he played outside of North America if any. Top Here is the top 10 North American Tours from Pollstar which only uses the highest single calander year gross total, which cuts some tours totals off. 3.
The Rolling Stones "Voodoo Loung Tour" $121.2
million 1994 Here are the 15 largest Grossing tours ever North America. This list is based on the entire tour, and does not cut off the figures because parts of tours fall in different years. I combined the Billy Joel/Elton John tours of 2001, 2002, and 2003 into one tour because I was uncertain if they were seperate individual tours or simply one long one. 1.
The Rolling Stones "A Bigger Bang Tour" $200 million
+ (exact total figure not reported yet) 2005-2006 Top While U2's Vertigo Tour ranks at only #7 in this list, it should be remembered that nearly every show was soldout in minutes or hours and dozens of shows could have been added to the tour in North America because the demand was there. That would have substantially increased the GROSS total. Most of the tours ahead of it met demand and in fact did not sellout every show. Remember that when dealing with the highest Grossing Tour, recent tours will usually place higher, simply because of increasing ticket prices. The highest grossing tour in history is not necessarily the highest attended tour in history. The highest attended global tour in history where exact figures are available for both its North American and international shows is the Rolling Stones Voodoo Lounge tour, with a total attendance for 6.4 million. The Police tour finished August 7, 2008 at Madison Square Garden and although there are 6 individual shows that have yet to be reported to Billboard Boxscore, the tour is now the 3rd highest grossing tour in history, the final attendance and Gross totals for the tour have been reported and they are: THE
