The global concert business scored a record year with the top 20 tours, earning 2.43 billion dollars (£1.48bn) in primary ticket sales. It generated 1.96 billion dollars (£1.1bn) last year.

The top 20 list also included Taylor Swift, Elton John, Rihanna, Depeche Mode and One Direction. The Rolling Stones’ comeback tour ranked 12th, a notch under Paul McCartney.
