If you keep wondering how much your favorite bands make when they head out on the road, Billboard‘s Boxscore released their latest batch of earnings and attendance from many artists, and we’ve summarized them here for you.
This time, we got a fairly short list of shows to report on but the numbers and bands are interesting enough to bring them up. Black Sabbath is not new to the list but thinking about the last few shows will be a nostalgic thing. The other bands are heavy hitters and some with a good share of following so here they are. These are the bands tipping their Lyft drivers cause they got a nice chat:

There’s something upsetting about the Black Sabbath numbers if you think about the fact that these were some of their last shows and they didn’t sell out. Not even San Antonio which was their very last show in the states sold out by 1,900 people. That’s not how you wish farewell to one of the greatest bands in history. As for the rest of the bands, they did well but is about Sabbath right now. I’ll miss those guys.
