Here Are The Top 5 Highest Grossing Concert Tours Ever!

If you're a connoisseur of music, regardless of the genre, you've probably attended a concert or two in your lifetime. But not all concerts pay the same.

If you had to choose a music group or musician who you thought probably had the highest grossing concerts based on attendance and monies brought in from the venue, who would you pick?

For some, you might say The Eagles had the highest, but others might choose someone like Michael Jackson, just for starters.

Well, sorry to disappoint you, but the highest grossing concerts on record go to neither of those two chart-toppers.
