FLEETWOOD MAC WAS 10th HOTTEST TOUR OF THE SUMMER

Concert tours manage to stay strong in a weak economy
USA TODAY

The touring business weathered a bad economy for the second straight summer, as concert grosses held steady and attendance rose slightly.

Concerts grossed $1 billion from May 1 to Sept. 1, roughly equal to the same period in 2008. Attendance rose for the season's 4,200-plus live music shows to 19.2 million, up 3% from 18.7 million a year ago.

Plenty of people willing to pay premium prices for enhanced concert experiences. "You had Mick Fleetwood doing meet-and-greets all across the country this summer, and that's something you may not have seen in years past."

The data are from Boxscore reports published by Billboard and analyzed by USA TODAY.

The Hottest Tours of Summer
10. Fleetwood Mac

What they did
The legendary band kicked off its Unleashed tour in March and kept it going strong well into the summer. It was the first tour in five years for Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham.

Why it worked
"These songs are part of music fans' DNA, and they still want to come out and hear them performed live."

Total gross (in millions): $21.1

FLEETWOOD MAC RANKS 2nd IN NORTH AMERICA BEHIND BRITNEY SPEARS

Pollstar has released it's mid year Top 100 North American Concert Tours for the first six months of 2009. Fleetwood Mac is #2 in North America with a gross of 54.8 million on 53 shows.

On the Top 25 Worldwide Tours - Fleetwood Mac rank #6.

Considering the economy in North America this past year along with Fleetwood Mac not promoting any new material but touring behind their past hits, I think they did quite well with a million dollar average per show.
