The legendary rock band’s Hackney Diamonds Tour eclipsed Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour in single-night revenue pulling in a staggering £10,345,659 per night. The iconic group, made up of Sir Mick Jagger, 81, Keith Richards, 80, and Ronnie Wood, 77, banked the most per night from their concerts, according to Pollstar’s annual Voice of Live year-end review which reviews the last 12 months’ worldwide shows.
The rockers proved that legacy acts still reign supreme as the appeal of their classic hits still brings out the crowds six decades after their debut. Fans grabbed up tickets for their 18 shows in record time and although 35-year-old Swift’s 152 global shows shattered box office records becoming the first ever to earn over a billion dollars, the superstar was around £100k a night short of the band.
However, the Shake It Off star’s finish of £1.74bn was over double that of what previous record holder Elton John with his Farewell Yellow Brick Road bought in. The US singer’s takings of £830m in 2024 alone, almost match Sir Elton’s entire five-year total.
