Rolling Stones’ Bigger Bang Tour Means Bigger Bucks
As long as Mick Jagger’s hips don’t give out anytime soon, the Rolling Stones will likely keep raking in the big bucks.
The Stones have reclaimed the title of having the top-grossing tour of all time, after briefly conceding the bragging rights to U2 earlier this year. U2’s Vertigo tour grossed more than $333 million after its year-long run from March 28, 2005 to March 2, 2006. This bested the Stones’ 1994-1995 Voodoo Lounge tour, which made $320 million.
But now, the Stones’ A Bigger Bang tour is expected to gross far beyond that number. The band has been on the road since the fall of 2005 and in 110 shows, they’ve made $437 million. And that number is likely to climb up even higher – rumour has it that the tour will be extended into 2007.
