Pink Becomes Highest-Grossing Solo Touring Artist Ever in Australia and New Zealand
Pink’s latest tour leg makes her the highest-grossing solo touring artist and the second highest-grossing act in Australia and New Zealand sitting only behind The Rolling Stones at the top of the overall list.
Pink’s final performances from her sold-out Beautiful Trauma tour in that part of the world has been finalized and according to Billboard, Pink played 42 shows and earned a little over $80 million. That means that her all-time career box office gross in Australia and New Zealand is a whopping $228 million.
Those numbers make Pink the highest-grossing solo artist, the highest-grossing female artist and the highest-grossing American artist of all time in that part of the world. Only one act, The Rolling Stones, has earned more Down Under, with just under $430 million. But we have to keep in mind that they’ve been touring few decades longer than Pink.
The superstar always makes Australia and New Zealand a big part of her tours.
Over the past 11 years, she’s played 36, 59, 46 and 42-show engagements there. Her intake rose with each tour starting from $19.7 million in 2007, $ 55.5 in 2009 and $72.7 in 2013. This year’s tour broke all the records with $80,353, 446 for 559,361 tickets sold.
Drake, Bruno Mars and Elton John are right behind her with Cher landing at No.5 of Hot Tours recap. Cher grossed $10.9 million for 91,126 sold tickets for nine shows.
Before the tour, Live Nation revealed that the latest tour pulled her total of ticket sales here to over the 2 million mark. Speaking of million mark for ticket sales,the last tours by Adele by Live Nation and Ed Sheeran by Frontier Touring broke the 1 million attendance record for both countries.
Pink has more North American shows on her Beautiful Trauma tour, all in spring next year.
The North American run kicks off on 1 March in Florida and she’ll spend most of next summer touring Europe, kicking things off on 16 June in Amsterdam.
