Stones Lick Up $300 Million In Milestone Tour The Rolling Stones' 2002-03 Licks world tour posted the second-highest gross ever. The tour grossed nearly $300 million and played to more than 3.4 million people, putting it behind only the Stones' marathon Voodoo Lounge stadium tour, which grossed $320 million in 1994-95.
For Licks, the Stones played stadiums, arenas and theaters -- sometimes all three in the same market -- and filled venues to 99% capacity over 116 dates. Billed as the band's 40th-anniversary tour, Licks began Sept. 3, 2002, in Boston, and ended Oct. 2 in Zurich.
"This tour is finished," says tour producer Michael Cohl, but he adds that another may follow in 2005. "I'm always ready."
