This is How Much Money Guns N’ Roses, Volbeat, Black Label Society and Pelican Earn at Shows
The latest Boxscore Report from Billboard showing attendance and earnings figures for live shows is out, and The PRP’s been kind enough to sort through it and pick out all the notable metal and hard rock acts. Thanks, dudes!
Last time we posted these (for Killswitch Engage, Megadeth, Avenged Sevenfold and more) we included some notes, but they seem worth including again so there’s no confusion:
- The show gross is not the dollar amount the band ends up walking away with; the venue and/or promoter takes a cut for themselves.
- The headlining act will also have to pay all of the opening acts on the tour out of their take.
- Each act also still has to pay crew, techs, merch guys, sound and light guys, etc. out of the gross.
- The dollar figures shown are from ticket sales only and do not include merch.
