As a matter of fact Ed Sheeran has officially set the record for having the highest grossing tour of
all time, as the 246th show of his Divide Tour pushes it to
the $736.7 million mark, according to Pollstar’s calculations.The benchmark had previously been set by U2 in 2011, when their 360 Tour grossed $735.4 million, a seemingly insurmountable figure.
There are some market differences between Sheeran’s and U2’s record-breaking tours. Theirs ran only 110 shows, whereas Sheeran will have played 255 gigs over a course of two and a half years by the time he wraps it up with a four-night stand close to home in Ipswich, England Aug. 23-26. Needless to say, perhaps, Sheeran’s ticket prices have been lower, hence the very long run needed to catch up with U2’s high-water mark.
In terms of actual tour attendance, Sheeran already broke that record of U2’s back on May 24, when their 7.3 million tickets sold was beaten by his 7,315,970, Pollstar reports. As of his show in Hannover, Germany, he’ll be up to an astonishing 8,504,493 attendees for the Divide Tour.
