These figures blow my mind. No wonder they have no problem bringing 3 back up singers, another drummer, keyboardist, etc.
If the tour averages just about 1.5 million each night...... I try to figure out how much each of the 5 would get each night after taxes. After travel expenses and the entire entourage getting paid I bet each Mac member gets at least $200k after taxes. After a 70 show North American tour. That would equal 14 million EACH and the tour has not even hit Europe yet. Plus my figures and calculations are very conservative. Its probably much more. 20 million each for 6 months of work is not too shabby

Fleetwood Mac

Fleetwood Mac leads the slate of touring artists in the weekly tally of Hot Tours (see list, below) based on box office revenue from its On With the Show tour that launched in September, 2014. During the latest tracking period, three arenas reported $3.8 million in ticket sales from the veteran rock band's winter trek through markets in the U.S. and Canada.

A Jan. 20 sellout at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Mich. produced the top gross among the three venues with $1.4 million in revenue from 10,204 sold seats. The number of tickets sold was 172 more than that in Montreal two weeks later at the Bell Centre on Feb. 5, generating sales just over $1 million. Finally, with ticket prices ranging from $125 to $195, the group's Feb. 7 concert at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. produced a $1.3 million take from 7,542 sold tickets.

The On With the Show tour will continue its North American schedule of more than 80 concerts through April 14, wrapping in the Los Angeles market at the Forum in Inglewood. A six-week European trek will follow beginning with a two-night stand at London's O2 Arena on May 27.

Next on the list of Hot Tours is classical artist Andrea Bocelli with $3.7 million in ticket sales reported from a three-night engagement in Hollywood, Fla. The Italian tenor performed at Hard Rock Live, the 5,500-seat arena at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Feb. 12, 14 and 15 -- his first U.S. performances of the year. He ended 2014 with a six-city American trek during December, grossing $13.3 million from 78,183 sold seats in six arenas. His final show of 2014, a Dec. 17 sold out performance at New York City's Madison Square Garden, logged the highest gross and attendance counts during the December run with $2.7 million in revenue from 15,070 fans.

Bocelli began this year with a series of January concerts in three European countries: Latvia, Lithuania and Finland. The Florida shows were his only dates in February, but three more North American concerts are set for June. A second three-show European swing will follow in August with performances in Italy and Spain.

A November event in Prague and a Phoenix concert planned in December round out the operatic tenor's 2015 concert schedule.

these grosses are astronomical... I'd LOVE to know what the band NETS, though. surely they have a guaranteed payment, and the leftovers go to promoters. still 2 mil per pop is stunning!

They are making it good touring.Why bother recording.I know it sounds cold.

I want a album bad as everybody here does.

Nice income .As long it gets invested properly it should go far.
They are keeping their crews employed.The album production costs probably be payed off with this money too.

I see Stevie's friends the Foo Fighters on the top.

Does it mean I am old if I don't know half the performers in the top 20

When I checked into the hotel in Pittsburgh for the Fleetwood Mac concert, Eric Church was playing that night and the hotel was PACKED with fans. The Consol Engergy Center was overflowing with people. I had to ask who was performing and one fan in the elevator said Eric Church. I was like......WHO? When I got to the room I googled the name and it is some country star. If it was not for that Fleetwood Mac concert and Eric Church playing in Pittsburgh a few days before the Mac, I still would not know who he is LOL.

I am one of those people who feels like he is current with the times but I have never heard of these 4 people.Am I to assume Gabriel is the son of Julio?

I can say I know who Andre Rieu is, and most of you are probably not old enough to know him, I mean like you have to be 75+. I'm definitely not that old, (nowhere near!) but I saw him once on PBS and convinced my husband to go see him when he came to our city. It was really good, big orchestral music, with everyone in tuxes and evening gowns. Anyways, it was like a retirement home en mass, my husband and I were the only people under 50 (or more like under 70) in the entire 20,000 person arena.

Gabe and Jeff are funny comics.I think Gabe is not related to Julio.

I would love to see comic Lewis black get good numbers.He is very funny.

Eric Church is a country singer.I never seen him live.

André Rieu is great even for me and not over 75 years old.LOL....As lovethemac1 said.My parents enjoyed him.

Its like me.

Sam Smith
The Tragically Hip

I can do without Justin Timberlake

Well, I know about Enrique. I even have a couple of his CDs, but I don't know anything about Gabriel or his parentage.

I see TSO is still raking the bread in after their great holiday shows.

I would love to see them cover Stevie/FM tunes someday.
