U2's 360 tour is biggest tour ever

Many of you may not know this but recording artists make most, if not all their money from touring. One band who has dominated touring is Irish rock band U2. The band's 360 is being called the biggest tour ever with a projected $700 million gross, leaving other rock bands like the Rolling Stones dead in the water.

U2 are about to claim the record for the highest-grossing tour in history. After the band's second show at Morumbi Stadium in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the gross for the Irish band's U2 360 world tour will pass the $558 million mark, eclipsing the Rolling Stones' take for their A Bigger Bang tour of 2005-2007. By the time the band wraps up its next North American leg on July 30th in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, the band is projected to make around $700 million in total.
