Bon Jovi Tops the List of “Pollstar’s” Top 20 Worldwide Tours

Bon Jovi had the highest-grossing Tour in the world in 2013, according to Pollstar, with their Because We Can tour grossing $259.5 million this year, the highest total in the band’s career. And they did it without guitarist Richie Sambora, who sat out most of the trek.

Beyonce came in second, taking in a total of $188.6 million. Pink, Justin Bieber, and Bruce Springsteen round out the top five.

There were a couple of newcomers to the list, according to Pollstar. One Direction nabbed 10th place by grossing a total of $114 million, and Bruno Mars wound up at number 17, with $72.4.

2013 set a record for world tours. Altogether, the top 20 Worldwide Tours took in $2.43 billion in primary ticket sales. According to Pollstar, that’s a 24% increase ($470.6 million) over the $1.96 billion generated in 2012.

There were, however, fewer artists who saw big paydays. Thirteen tours grossed over $100 million in 2012, while just six matched that mark this year.

Congrats to Bon Jovi for this epic achievement!
