According to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, The Joshua Tree Tours 2017 and 2019 grossed a total of $390.8 million and sold 3.3 million tickets over 65 shows around the world.
The Irish rockers toured throughout North and South America, as well as Europe in 2017, playing 50 shows over five months. The Joshua Tree Tour 2017 crowned Billboard Boxscore’s Top Tours ranking of that year with a $317 million gross, despite playing fewer shows than the five tours that followed it.
And after launching and completing 2018’s Experience + Innocence Tour and spending most of 2019 off the road, U2 returned for a 15-show Joshua Tree Tour run across Australia and Asia in November and December, grossing $73.8 million and selling 567,000 tickets . U2’s 2019 grosses break down to $35.7 million from eight shows in Australia and $38.1 million from seven shows in Asia. With a greater total gross and fewer shows, it makes sense that Asia sported a better average gross-per-show, at $5.44 million compared to $4.63 million per night in Australia. The average ticket in Asia was $166.18, 58% higher than the average Australian ticket and the highest continental ticket on the entire anniversary haul, still significantly above the $121.
The recent finals push U2’s cumulative gross to $2.222 billion and 28.3 million tickets sold from 825 reported shows.
