Major concert tours now translate to megabucks for superstar singers who otherwise earn only fractions of a cent per digital song stream or download. Nothing beats the live experience of witnessing a music concert. If your favorite singer comes to town you'll plunk down the equivalent of a new car payment to afford seats that you hope are in the same zip code as the concert stage. This list is an attempt to narrow down the five greatest and highest-grossing music tours and concerts of all time. Taylor Swift 'Reputation Stadium Tour' The Reputation Stadium Tour is the fifth worldwide concert tour by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. It was Swift’s first all-stadium tour, launched in support of her sixth studio album ‘Reputation’. Tay-Tay traveled to seven nations for the tour in 2018 and averaged an eye-popping $6.5-million gross per show. Bruno Mars '24K Magic World Tour' Channeling the likes of James Brown and Prince, Bruno Mars’ uber-slick stage show pumped a pretty penny into his treasure chest as it circled the globe. Mars performed in a penultimate string of stadium concerts which also included his hometown of Honolulu in Hawaii. The singer earned a gross profit of $367.7 million from his 24K Magic World tour. Pink 'Beautiful Trauma World Tour' The Beautiful Trauma World Tour was Pink’s seventh concert tour in support of her studio album by the same name ‘Beautiful Trauma’. The pop diva took her Cirque du Soleil-style acrobatics and powerhouse vocals to the arenas for this remarkably successful jaunt that did a notably massive business. An impressive run of 159 shows accrued a gross profit of $397.3 million. Coldplay 'A Head Full of Dreams Tour' Chris Martin and company from 2016 to 2017, had put on a massively impressive laser/pyro extravaganza that sold over half a billion tickets across the globe. It also included four sellouts at London's 90,000-capacity Wembley Stadium. The tours were arranged in support of Coldplay’s seventh studio album ‘A Head Full of Dreams’. The concert tour with 122 shows grossed an average profit of $523 million. Ed Sheeran '÷ Tour' The English singer-songwriter toured six continents and in 2019 Ed Sheeran leaped over U2's "Claw" and successfully bagged the top-grossing slot. The singer’s syrupy-sweet ditties bought an estimated 8.9 million tickets and earned a gross profit of $776.2 million. This music tour led to his crowning as the all-time king of concert cash. If you were to attend one of these concerts, which one would you pick?
