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.
We have previously reported on the gross sales of Vans Warped Tour but that time, we only had numbers on a single date in Florida. The attendance for that date in Orlando was less than half and it was almost the same they did in the same city the previous year. Now, we can take a look at the rest of the dates and see if that was a one-off issue or if the low attendance is being carried over to other places. In addition, we have numbers on other tours we think you might be interested. These are the bands that have food catered to them instead of living off Taco Bell while on tour (not that there’s anything wrong with that!):

Now that’s more like it. Most of the dates for the rest of the tour did fairly better in attendance than the Orlando date we previously reported, but not by much. It seems like the amount of fans attending the Vans Warped tour are between 8,000-11,000 and should probably shoot to book venues with that capacity in mind. Having said that, the tour is still fairly successful and seems to be making enough money to remain afloat and avoid the terrible fate of other festivals like the defunct Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Fest.
