U2 leads the pack in concert tickets

With 26 sold-out U.S. shows and $45.3 million in ticket receipts, U2 is the runaway leader in music's 2005 road race.

 

Celine Dion's Las Vegas spectacle is second, with $38.4 million for 72 shows, according to Billboard figures compiled through June 23.

Elton John is No. 3 after earning $31.2 million for 36 shows.

 

The rest of the top 10, with grosses (in millions):

Kenny Chesney ($25.1), The Eagles ($23.3),

Josh Groban ($16.5), Motley Crue ($15.9), Cher ($13.7),

George Strait ($13.5) and Yanni ($10.4).

 

Midway through the year and the crucial summer season, tour grosses are lagging behind 2004, which saw flat revenues and falling attendance. An upward spike is expected with the second leg of U2's Vertigo Tour and outings by the Rolling Stones and

Paul McCartney.

 

"Promoters are cautiously optimistic," says Ray Waddell, Billboard's senior touring editor. "There are some tough sells out there, but I haven't heard of any across-the-board losers."

 

Sales are soft for jam bands, but Coldplay,

Toby Keith, Green Day and such value-priced combos as

John Mellencamp and

John Fogerty are kindling confidence. And if every tour sells out, U2 will still prevail in the USA and overseas with a global take of $300 million.
