A good example of this is Pollstar's annual top grossing tours. Here are the 20 tours that made the most money in 2015.
1. $250.4 - Taylor Swift
2. $210.2 - One Direction
3. $180.0 - AC/DC
4. $152.2 - U2
5. $127.0 - Foo Fighters
6. $125.1 - Fleetwood Mac
7. $117.3 - Ed Sheeran
8. $116.4 - Kenny Chesney
9. $114.9 - Garth Brooks
10. $109.7 - The Rolling Stones
11. $88.4 - Madonna
12. $82.2 - Kevin Hart
13. $77.7 - Paul McCartney
14. $77.6 - Elton John
15. $76.8 - Violetta
16. $72.0 - Maroon 5
17. $71.8 Luke Bryan
18. $69.9 - Billy Joel
19. $69.0 - Shania Twain
20. $68.0 - Neil Diamond
A couple of quick notes.
- A bad sign for the business is that over half of the top money-making tours were from legacy artists.
- Comedian Kevin Hart probably personally made more than everyone but Ed Sheeran, as his overhead costs were particularly low.
