1. A Bigger Bang Tour, The Rolling Stones
And topping the list is no one else but The Rolling Stones… the A Bigger Bang Tour stands as the most successful tour ever when looking at the number of attendees. Funded by American Express, the tour attracted 4,680,000 people throughout the tour’s 147 shows. Today the tour not only stands as the most successful in attendance, but also the most successful in the amount of grossed money. In fact, the Bigger Bang Tour brought in about $558,255,524. The tour began on August 21, 2007 at Fenway Park in Boston and ended on August 26, 2007 in London at the O2 Arena. Keeping with the tradition of the tongue logo, the band took the original logo and added an explosive look to it and gave it the name “chippy tongue.” Like most Rolling Stone concerts, there were plenty of other bands to enjoy, including Metallica, Motley Crue, John Mayer, Nickleback, and plenty of others.
This has been the Rolling Stones’ last world tour to date; however, if another one is planned, it will surely be just as successful.
