Beyonce is the 'Biggest Female Touring Act'

[malazam 15,710]

The Formation World -sold out- Tour has already grossed $100 million at the box office

 

''Beyonce, Blowing Up Box Offices Before Formation Stadium Tour, Looks to Be the Queen of Touring''

 

(...) Overall, the 39-date tour, which begins April 27 at Marlins Field in Miami, has already taken in over $100 million in ticket sales, with Beyonce inevitably headed toward a sold-out run and one of the hottest tours of 2016.''

'Now, with another $200 million-plus blockbuster -- this time a sold-out stadium run -- the case can be made, reliably, that Beyonce is the biggest female touring act in the world.'''

- Billboard

''Madonna currently holds the title as the highest grossing female touring artist because of her Sticky & Sweet tour that grossed $408 million worldwide. It's also worth noting that this tour included 85 shows in 52 countries.

With only a fraction of the cities that Bey will be stopping through on her Formation tour--the number of cities scheduled so far is 39--already sold out, it's safe to say that Bey is well on her way to reigning supreme as the new touring queen.''

'Cause she slays

Her last two solo world tours slayed as well. I hope this goes well for her.

Good. Only people with talent should be worthy of this accomplishment. 

Spoiler

I still think she's overrated but meh.  Talent always wins.

waiting for delusional monsters to say something against the biggest touring act

[Yanko 9,860]

poor police. 

[TimisaMonster 31,073]

That's why all the money is in touring and not album sales

Beyonce is winning even if her single isn't

madonna is definitely dominating tours though like even after two floppy eras she's still doing great in terms of touring people just go to her tours regardless.

good for beyonce though 

[Xaylan 1,326]

Beyoncé is overrated as hell. She's good, but the songs that she makes are whack. 

[SISTERV 3,887]

I mean.....she is a huge touring act. 

But most of this show will be from previous albums because she is riding high off of her name, not Formation.

There is a difference between having huge tours because people like your current music and they want to see you perform your new album, and having huge numbers because people want to see you perform just the hits.

Beyonce has passed her prime in new material. People want to see Sasha Fierce and watch her tour be the hits.

When Beyonce does a tour with 90% new album and maybe three or four hits, we can talk, but Gaga still achieves massive tours while playing primarily and only her latest album. And each tour is wildly different and ambitious whereas Beyonce still has fallen into her Sasha Fierce persona with little to no experimentation or artistry. 

It works commercially, but going to see Beyonce in 2016 is no different from seeing Beyonce in 2010....and for that reason I think Madonna and Gaga should receive far more credit...pulling in the same numbers as Beyonce or better...while also offering something wildly new and innovative and theatrical every time.
