Who Else Could Do A Tour As Large As Take That's?
The sheer size of this tour got me thinking, what acts alive today could do a tour with that many dates. I can't think of any off the top of my head, just shows how popular they are.

Remember, the majority of TT's stadium dates are UK. Bands like Coldplay, U2, Metallica, Iron Maiden etc. are playing stadiums all over the world.

I can see Gaga playing stadiums next Summer tbh with Scissor Sisters supporting. Beyonce and Girls Aloud (if they ever get back together) could also play stadiums but I don't think to the same extent Take That are doing. |

The biggest live band at the moment is U2. Their 360 Tour has just finished a 22 date stint in Europe & then they'll head off to Oz & New Zealand next month where they'll play 10 dates up to December 19th.Then they head to South Africa on Feb 13th for two gigs.On May 14/15th they'll play two days in Mexico before resuming their North American tour where they'll play 19 concerts up until July 26th.They'll probably squeeze in Glastonbury in June and they may announce dates in Ireland to finally end the tour.I'm sure they've also mentioned that they want to play in Brazil & Argentina, too

Plenty -
U2 Madonna Led Zeppelin Red Hot Chili Peppers Coldplay Metallica Stevie Wonder and these acts are able to do it on a worldwide scale, unlike Take That. |

U2 comes to mind immediately and they are touring stadiums world wide. I don't think there is a bigger touring act than U2 out there.

Metallica have been touring since the end of 2008. Iron Maiden's "Somewhere Back in Time" tour took them all over the world - even to countries like India and Colombia. Most of the tour dates sold out, and the band and their entire road crew (equipment included) travelled in their own aircraft piloted by singer Bruce Dickinson. The whole thing was documented in Flight 666.
In fact just look at the tour lists for both bands (Metallica's especially). They put TT's to shame: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Magnetic_Tour http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somewhe...ime_World_Tour |

Also AC/DC were the highest grossing tour earners of last year. |
