Wanna Know How Much Money Mastodon, King Diamond, Five Finger Death Punch and Others Earn on Tour?

The PRP has once again sorted through Billboard’s monthly Boxscore report and culled what’s most important to us: live show sales figures for metal bands.

Keep in mind that these are gross box office sales, so they don’t reflect expenses that need to be taken out such as the venue’s cut, fees paid to opening acts, band expenses such as their crew, vehicle and fuel, etc. But still, it’s fun to look at these to get an idea of the general earning power these bands have relative to one another.

Here are a few of highlights:
