Metallica are basically printing money at this point. Their US stadium tour last year grossed approximately $50 million. Now, the numbers for their European tour are in and while they are not as massive, they are still incredibly impressive.
Metallica had a 19-market run in Europe recently and did ridiculously well for themselves. Each night of the 19 averaged about 20,451 tickets at an average price of $104.
Pollstar reports that this works out to be over $2 million per night, each night on the tour. The site also points out that Metallica raked in $3.3 million alone over two nights at Stuttgart, Germany's Hanns Martin Schleyer Halle. These are Guns N' Roses numbers, which is insanely impressive.
Metallica will be making quite a bit more money from this September to March 2019 as they tour North America. Get those dates below.
