COINAGE Life, well spent. Presented by GEICO. Streaming now dominates the music industry. But musicians only make around half a penny per stream. So artist have to make a big chunk of their income from touring, a really, really big chunk. Though life on the road can be gruelling for performers A big tour can be the difference between making it and being a starving artist. Here are the top 5 grossing tours of all time. Madonna's 2008 Sticky & Sweet Tour showed the world that the queen of pop can still put on a show. It grossed over $400 million for the material grow. AC/DC Black Ice World Tour about the hard rock band to 29 countries over two years. And earned them over $441 million dollars. Pink Floyd front man Roger Waters put on the show of a lifetime with The Wall Live. The ambitious and extravagant production design brought tons of fans and earned Waters just under $450 million bucks. The Rolling Stones are rolling in dough, especially after their Bigger Bang that grossed the band over $558 million dollars. We think Keith Richards and **** Jagger got some satisfaction from that. U2s 360 Tour featured the largest stage set up of all time. The stage was circular and framed with a giant cloth. 7.2 million people attended this world tour. Bono had quite a few beautiful days.
