General "Not In This Lifetime... Tour" thread *1st POST UPDATE NOV 30*

[TheBaconman]

Does anyone see a Toronto show getting added?

I would doubt it as they don't seem to be repeating cities from last summer.

Buffalo is within a short drive from Toronto.   Closer than most Canadian cities.

I would think they would play Toronto again with  Na leg arena tour

The Winnipeg and Saskatchewan shows here are pretty much in the middle of nowhere up here. Credit to the band for hitting those markets.  They are very very remote

2016 Was A Totally Boss Year

Nearly all the box office data is in for our Year-End Charts and it shows that the top two global tours grossed more than a half-billion dollars in what has been a great year for the concert business.

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band takes the top spot with a worldwide gross of $262 million, just edging out Beyonc? who took in $256.4 million. The Boss played 75 shows in 65 cities while selling 2.35 million tickets at an average price of $111.41.

Beyonc??s global jaunt did 49 shows in 46 cities filling 2.24 million seats at an average of $114.59. The Top 5 Tours will be rounded out by Coldplay with a strong third place at about $241 million followed by Guns N' Roses and Adele.

The entire 2016 Year-End research package will be released on Jan. 6 at www.pollstar.com and will include our Industry Analysis and detailed Top 100 Worldwide Tours Chart along with the global ticket sales charts for the Top 100 Promoters, Top 200 Arenas, Top 200 Theatres, Top 200 clubs and much more.

Looking at my twitter feed... Lots of tweeting on RIR now, seems the line-up is as good as confirmed. Bumping this one to SR - Strong Rumor in the OP.

Lady Gaga, Guns N' Roses, Bon Jovi, RHCP, Aerosmith, Maroon 5 and Billy Idol.

Rock in Rio is always good for recorded footage- looking forward to that.

Is Bruce big outside the USA still?

Outside of the US, he's big in Europe and Australia looking at the tour numbers. Not so much in South America.

Big time.  Hoping for that very reason.

Yeah but Japan is coming up. We haven't even heard yet of the technology they are already using. All of them, always taking pictures and videos of everything everywhere.

Much bigger in Europe than he is in the USA. He's not done an Arena tour in years and years here, always stadiums, which he pretty much fills.

IF only Coldplay would go missing... Shittest of the shit band there is, no ifs or buts, total shit

[FreddieJames]

IF only Coldplay would go missing... Shittest of the shit band there is, no ifs or buts, total shit

The funny thing is they're huge GnR fans...well, at least Christ Martin is. I once heard/saw an interview with him where he said he's a major fan and was patiently waiting for Axl to release ChiDem....I remember that back then I thought 'Why on earth would you make such shit music if you're a huge GnR fan?" 

[bolton]

As we know in first 24hours Gnr sold 1 million tickets in Euro and Canadian datea...But what is happening with Japan and Australia shows?...They are pretty close

Their first 2 albums are decent.

The rest is shit

Not seen any numbers, but I can't imagine those shows are doing any worse than the rest of the world.
