Madonna Rings Up Biggest Tour of 2008
Concert site Pollstar has announced the biggest tours of 2008. Topping the list is Madonna, who pulled in $105.3 million on her Sticky & Sweet tour. While concerts were one of the bright spots last year for the music industry, her total doesn't come close to recent year's champs with the Police pulling in $133.2 million in 2007 and the Rolling Stones making a whopping $162 million in 2005.
As far as other veteran artists, if it wasn't for one Canadian songstress (Celine Dion) and two modern country acts (Kenny Chesney & Rascal Flatts), the vets would have tied down the entire top ten.
The top ten concert money makers:
- Madonna - $105.3 million
- Celine Dion - $94.0 million
- Eagles - $73.4 million
- Kenny Chesney - $72.2 million
- Bon Jovi - $70.4 million
- Bruce Springsteen & the E-Street Band - $69.3 million
- Neil Diamond - $59.8 million
- Rascal Flatts - $55.8 million
- Police - $48.0 million
- Tina Turner - $47.7 million
