ManetsBR Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) The Pulse of Radio reports that executives at concert giant Live Nation are looking at 2011 tours from the likes of VAN HALEN to save the live music industry, according to a report in USA Today. Live Nation executive chairman Irving Azoff told analysts on a Monday (October 4) conference call that the concert business will end 2010 with a whimper, with Azoff saying the industry is "still not seeing a consumer recovery" in ticket sales. But Azoff said he was optimistic about next year, specifically mentioning VAN HALEN and FLEETWOOD MAC as two acts that could lift ticket sales out of the doldrums.Other potential 2011 moneymakers that Azoff mentioned included the cast of "Glee", AVRIL LAVIGNE and CHRISTINA AGUILERA. The latter canceled a tour this past summer because of poor sales.Other acts that saw a dip in ticket sales this year included the JONAS BROTHERS, AEROSMITH, GOO GOO DOLLS, THE EAGLES and others.Azoff also said that Live Nation hopes to earn money by selling more items like CDs, DVDs of that night's concert, T-shirts, posters and other memorabilia.VAN HALEN's 2008 reunion tour with original singer David Lee Roth grossed more than $93 million and drew nearly one million fans to 74 shows.Recent rumors have indicated that a new VAN HALEN album is in the works for a 2011 release. The new album would be the first with Roth on the mic since 1983 and first full studio effort since 1998's "Van Halen III".Although Live Nation's complaint, the list of artists that got more profit with their tours in 2010, published by Billboard, shows that actually, many artists, specially rock stars, are doing economically great. Check the list:1. DEPECHE MODE - $18,485,6772. METALLICA - $16,115,9043. BEYONCÉ - $12,292,3304. NICKELBACK - $8,292,4095. PEARL JAM - $8,014,3716. GUNS N' ROSES - $7,093,5247. AC/DC - $6,774,1408. WHITNEY HOUSTON - $5,798,9729. GLEE - $5,031,43810. PAUL McCARTNEY - $4,944,250Source: Whiplash, that took the main article from Blabbermouth and the Tour List from Billboard.

ManetsBR Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 wheres u2?i heard that they earn hundreds of milllionsI think those figures are total profit, not revenue. Total gross takings would be a lot more.Exactly. In South America, Guns N' Roses cache was US$1,600,000 for each show. What they actually take of it is probably much less.

Still are (see Waters). U2's show is a firecracker compared to Floyd's nuclear weapon of a stage show... known as the "Division Bell Tour".

The Best Buy deal did that.With so much hype behind this album, if it didn't we would have heard about it in one the trade magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcountry Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Looks like GNR are having a very good year dispite being at war with Live Nation unlike everyone else.I didn't expect them to be that high up on the list.Not too bad for what some on this board would call a "cover band"From the footage I have seen of the tour this year it just seems there is alot of chemistry there, unlike what I felt the band had in the past 8-9 years. Whether they will have that same chemistry in the studio who knows, but I hope we find out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Use Your Delusion 1 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 does this figure include the band's expenses? Or simply the costs of production in and around the arena including stage set up etc?and Chinese D did turn a profit. It cost a estimated $13m to make and the best buy deal for America alone was worth $13m, not including the other worldwide sales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
