U2 to take 'highest grossing tour' title

Irish rockers U2 are set to earn the impressive title of having the 'Biggest Tour Ever' after they perform their gig on Sunday, April 10 in Brazil. 

The 'Elevation' stars will snatch the record from iconic band and current title holders Rolling Stones at the end of this week as their 360 tour will pass the $558 million mark, making it the highest grossing string of dates in history. 

Billboard.com reports that by the end of the tour on July 30, U2 will have raked in a phenomenal $700 million and will have shifted more than 7 million tickets to over 110 live shows, which will also crown them as the band to have the highest attended tour ever.
