Wanna Know How Much Money Rock on the Range, Rocklahoma, Rockfest, and Carolina Rebellion Made?

The latest Boxscore report has landed and, as usual, The PRP’s done the heavy-lifting of sorting through it and posting the information most pertinent to fans of metal and hard rock. Of particular interest in this latest round-up are several large festivals, so you can get some sense of how shows perform when there’s a whole crop of big bands on a bill.

As usual, note that these numbers are not a wholly accurate reflection of how much money these artists/festivals take home. After the ticket numbers are in, the bands still need to pay their crew and travel expenses, share a cut with the promoter, pay their manager and booking agent, etc., and the festival has plenty of its own expenses to deal with. On the other side of it, the numbers also don’t include any money earned from merch sales. But these boxscore reports do provide a general idea of the earning power of each of these bands and fests, especially relative to one another.
