Ed Sheeran will play a few thousand more shows to eclipse U2 again.

Mad how much money u2 and the stones make . Was just looking into it . The stones beat u2 in the 2000 highest grossing list by 25 million .

So u2 have been the biggest act for the past 20 years adding the two totals up. Beat the stones by 100 million roughly.

Then if u go back into the 90’s the stones go back infront of u2 by about 200 million

Gap widens abit more into the 80’s

U2 could become the biggest draw in 40 years with another big tour though

Think they also said that U2 numbers don’t yet include the saws from the 500,000 - 600,000 ticket sales for JT2019 to add to that list, so probably what another $125m to add to it??????!
