2011 is now history!
Happy New Year to all of you! May all your dreams come true!
I wish all the best!
According to The Billboard, the year of 2011 has been an
important boosting year for the live music business.
Would you like to know which artists made it on top of the
list?
The band U2 has accomplished the highest grossing tour in
2011 by generating $293,281,487 with 44 sold-out shows and attracting more than 2 millions
fans!
On top of that, the three years 360° Tour turned out to be the highest
grossing tour of all time by breaking The Rolling Stones’ prior gross record of
558 million for the A Bigger Band Tour (2005-2007).
The 360° tour generated $736,137,144 in more than 30
countries around the globe attracting an audience of over 7 millions between 2009 and 2011.
Monsieur Bon Jovi has been ranked #2 for 2011!
Bon Jovi has a financial total gross
income from The Circle Tour of $192,947,951 with a total attendance of 1,851,385
participants. The number of shows sold out and performed by Bon Jovi is higher
than U2’s. Bon Jovi performed a number of 68 shows and selling out all 68,
compared to U2’s 44 out of 44 shows. However, U2 with less sold outs and
performance acts, managed to gross more revenue and number of participants.
Monsieur Jovi is a solo act performer and is not recognized
as a band; Jovi fits into Male Solo artist
performer. Therefore these differences will not only demonstrate that they do
not compete in the same categories, but that they also do not belong in the
same.
"LA BOULETTE" OF THE YEAR
The anecdote of the year by Madame Lady GaGa.
The Monster Ball Tour is ranked #8 with a total gross of $71,900,434 by gathering 745,735 "little monsters" in 45 shows (with 43 sell-outs). However, the international fashion victim was left with $3 million debt in bankruptcy!
