Title: Musicians and Touring Post by: Verse Chorus Verse on July 06, 2008, 10:27:34 PM Is it really true that musicians and bands really make more money from touring than record sales? And if you say it is or isn't, can you please provide me links for your arguments? I'm trying to write something on the subject but I want to be informed as well as possible about it.

Quote But the really serious money comes from touring. And no one can pull in the big bucks like an older, established music act. The Stones had the highest-grossing tour in North America last year, pulling in a cool $139 million. Madonna's 2006 "Confessions" tour was the biggest ever for a female artist, grossing $194 million worldwide. /jarmo Title: Re: Musicians and Touring Post by: Verse Chorus Verse on July 07, 2008, 05:45:41 PM http://www.forbes.com/2007/09/19/music-madonna-rolling_stones-biz-media-cx_lh_0919musicians.html Thanks Jarmo.Quote But the really serious money comes from touring.

Title: Re: Musicians and Touring Post by: Allman on July 14, 2008, 05:16:55 PM Widespread Panic made their fame and fortune by touring since the mid eighties, they never had any big selling album
Last week they played their 32nd consecutive sellout show at Red Rocks Amphitheater, the most by any artists. pretty cool feat. I'll check the Billboard boxcore weekly at billboard.biz, classic established acts pour in the money that's for sure.

I'd think Paul and Michael got something to say there. |
