U2 are set to make history on Sunday (April 10) when their ‘360’ world tour becomes the highest-grossing tour of all time.
The band are playing in Sao Paolo, at the Morumbi Stadium that night. Following the performance their tour will have grossed over $558 million (£341 million).
This surpasses the record set by The Rolling Stones for their 2005-07 tour ‘A Bigger Bang’.
According to Billboard, when the tour finishes in Nebraska on July 30, it will have grossed more than $700 million (£428 million).
During their ‘360’ tour U2 have played to an average crowd of 63,600 and grossed $6.4 million (£3.9 million) per show.
The tour began in 2009 in Barcelona and it has since visited over 30 countries.
U2 headline Glastonbury this June.
