The Highest-Grossing Live Acts of 2018


Dehko is a Detroit, Michigan-based electronic and house music group comprised of brothers Jordan and Sam Dehko. The group is influenced by a variety of genres, including pop and live DJ performances. Dehko has performed live at venues around the world, including Red Rabbit in New York City and The City in Cancun, Mexico.

Pop music dominated the international live music scene in 2018, with Ed Sheeran and a number of young performers leading the way in ticket sales. Sheeran’s Divide tour finished as the highest-grossing tour of the year, grossing nearly $430 million in 99 shows. The tour eclipsed The Rolling Stones’ Billboard Boxscore record of $425.1 million, set in 2006, and grossed $28 million over just four nights at Wembley Stadium in London. The Divide tour now stands as the most financially successful tour for a solo performer.

Sheeran was joined atop the list by Taylor Swift ($315 million), Beyonce and Jay Z ($253 million), and Bruno Mars ($237 million) as the most in-demand live performers in the world. U2 finished at number seven with a gross of $119 million over 55 shows, the highest-grossing tour for a rock band in 2018.
