Rolling Stones Beat U2
November 25, 2006 by Jo Minor
NASHVILLE (Billboard) - Though they’ll surely live to fight another day, U2’s brief stint holding the title of top-grossing tour ever is over. That distinction returns to the Rolling Stones, whose A Bigger Bang tour is now the top-grossing tour in history.
From March 28, 2005, to March 2, 2006, U2’s Vertigo tour rang up grosses of more than $333 million. That put U2 ahead of the Stones’ $320 million Voodoo Lounge tour of 1994-95, and the band’s 10 stadium makeup shows this month will take the total to 121 shows and a gross of about $377 million.
