Posted April 24 2015 — 1:33 PM EDT

It looks like Zayn Malik leaving One Direction didn’t result in fans deserting the group’s On the Road Again tour—it tops Billboard’s Hot Tours chart for the week of April 22.

The chart-topping $6.2 million total gross comes from the two shows the band had in Johannesburg, South Africa on March 28 and 29, just days after Malik announced his exit. The two shows had a total attendance of 131,615.

Prior to Malik’s parting, One Direction also topped the Hot Tours chart on April 1, with 19 On the Road Again Tour stops grossing more than $68 million and bringing 565,853 fans to shows from Feb. 7 to March 25.

Following One Direction on the April 22 chart is Michael Buble, who sits at No. 2 with $2.9 million grossed over four shows in South Africa. Fleetwood Mac comes in at No. 3, with $1.6 million grossed from their March 25 show in Atlanta with 13,711 people in attendance. Kevin Hart is No. 4 thanks to his two-night stint in Nashville that grossed $1.5 million. Also making the list are Chris Brown and Trey Songz, John Farnham and Olivia Newton-John, Katt Williams, The Tragically Hip, Eric Church, and Neil Diamond.

Rolling Stones lead a record midyear concert revenue report for 2015

http://touch.latimes.com/#section/-1.../p2p-83969153/

By Randy Lewis July 10, 2015, 11:39 a.m.

Halfway into 2015, the picture couldn’t be brighter in the concert industry, as midyear box office results point to a possible record year in the live music business.

Concert industry tracking publication Pollstar reports that fans bought a record 18.8-million tickets for the top 100 grossing tours of North America for a combined take of $1.43 billion during the first six months of this year. That’s a 39% increase over the same period last year in terms of revenue and a 15% increase over the midyear record set during the first half of the 2013.

The Rolling Stones are at the top of the heap in earnings, pulling in $80.7 million with just 10 shows on the group’s Zip Code Tour.

But Garth Brooks is No. 1 in terms of tickets sold, with fans snapping up 1.2-million tickets to his first tour in 17 years, almost triple the Stones’ total sales of 452,041. Brooks' shows generated $79.9 million in box office revenue, which falls just behind the Stones because of the drastic difference in average ticket prices.

The average price for Stones' tickets was a whopping $178.44, compared with $66.23 for Brooks' 74 performances in 13 cities, easily the cheapest ticket among the top 10 grossing tours.

Fleetwood Mac’s reunion tour with long-absent member Christine McVie ranks third in Pollstar’s list at $65.9 million from 41 shows in 40 cities. Country superstar Kenny Chesney is fourth at $55.8 million, followed by U2 at $40.3 million.

The rest of the midyear top 10 for North America: Maroon 5 ($39.8 million), Neil Diamond ($37.7 million), Taylor Swift ($35.6 million), Elton John ($29.8 million) and Bette Midler ($28.2 million).

If there’s an area of concern for the industry's boom numbers it’s that the results fall back to a model of heritage acts dominating the box office. In recent years, several younger performers have made inroads into the upper reaches of the top-grossing tour rankings, suggesting that there will be another generation to take over when (and if) the '60s and '70s rock veterans retire.

But so far this year, Swift and Maroon 5 are the only acts that established careers roughly in the past decade to finish in the top 10.

In worldwide earnings, teen heartthrob band One Direction leads the pack with $107.7 million during the first half of the year. Fleetwood Mac is No. 2 globally with a gross of $92 million, followed by the Stones ($80.7 million), Brooks ($79.9 million) and Paul McCartney ($64.5 million) rounding out the top five.

In other words the single biggest cash grab of the nearly half century existence of the band..and not a note played of anything released in more than 28 years.

Not bad for greatest hits tour.Why bother recording a new album.They can make a killing just touring singing old tunes.Yea .It sounds boring for us fans.I would figure by now they flooded the market with concerts and concert goers are getting tired hearing the name FM.I guess I'm wrong.


Just look at the other classic artist and bands like the Stones,Paul McCartney,U2,Neil Diamond,The Who and my moms favorite Bette Midler and other older artist are still raking in the bread.I have no idea if they are supporting new albums or not.

Who is Take That.I'm afraid to ask.

Its Nice to see Shania on the list .I do enjoy her music but screw Puke Bryan.He's not true country.

I have to LOL.

The Old Men On The Block are on tour.LOL..........
