U2 No. 1 on Billboard’s Top 40 Money Makers
Billboard magazine’s 4th annual ‘Top 40 Money Makers’ list is out, and things are looking good for U2.
U2 tickets came out on top, grossing more than $108 million in 2009 through their huge 360-degree tour. According to U2’s official Web site the tour is scheduled to continue in 2010 “[w]ith a huge cylindrical video system of interlocking LED panels, and a steel structure rising more than 150 feet from the floor over a massive stage with rotating bridges.”
The 2009 tour was the most expensive production to ever tour, but fans showed their appreciation with their wallets.
Other stars to top the ‘Money Makers’ list are Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers, Kings of Leon and Taylor Swift.
