Your favorite band's favorite band has made history, building the biggest rock tour of all time in Billboard’s touring archives.
The Music of the Spheres World Tour has grossed $945.7 million and sold 8.8 million tickets since launching in March 2022. That makes it both the highest-grossing and best-selling trek among rock acts in the almost-40 years that Boxscore has been tracking concert data.
Elton John had held the record since 2018 with his five-year run of the Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour.
