Bono, The Edge, and the other two guys will have grossed more than $700 million after they wrap up the tour's last leg in Canada.
U2's 360 world tour is now the most successful concert tour ever, and will gross a total of about $700 million after Bono & Co. swing through Canada in July. The band has surpassed the Rolling Stones' $554 million accrued between 2005-07 on their Bigger Bang tour, proving that the world's appetite for aging rock stars from the British Isles can't be fulfilled. It's estimated that seven million people will have forked over an average of $100 each to see the Irish rockers on the two-year-long, 110-date tour, which also boasts the record for largest touring stage. Canadian stops on the tour include Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal, and Moncton, where they'll split the bill with Arcade Fire.
