Guns Roses: E Heels and Banner Year

guns roses: In what has been a banner year for the concert business, the Top 10 Tours alone grossed a combined 1.67 billion, Pollstar editor Gary Bongiovanni noted in a statement, according to Hamilton Spectator. That is significantly better than the 1.5 billion in 2015. Beyonce nipped close at the E Streeters' heels, grossing 256.4 million from her Formation world tour, followed by Coldplay 241 million Guns N' Roses 188.4 million and Adele 167.7 million to round out Pollstar's top five. It is, in fact, an 11.3 percent increase. That's a bit of a come down from last year, when Taylor Swift had the top-grossing tour of 2015 worldwide and the Top 10 also include such relative newcomers as One Direction and Ed Sheeran. Adele is one of just two performers to have emerged in the new millennium to make the Top 10, the other being Justin Bieber, whose tour grossed 163.3 million, placing him at No. 6 on the list.
