U2 have hit the top spot as the highest-earning band in the UK and Ireland so far this year, according to new data.

The Irish rock band formed in Dublin in 1976 consists of Bono, the Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. 

Pollstar report that the band have made £106million from 23 shows in Las Vegas, playing to 382,000 fans in 2024. 

They are almost £30million ahead of nearest rivals Coldplay in the live performance revenues. 

Chris Martin’s band have earned around £80million so far this year with shows – including rocking Glastonbury Festival this weekend, The Mirror reports.

Depeche Mode made £40million, while Sir Paul McCartney earned £35million for a run of nine shows. 

Ed Sheeran came in at £12million for a run of six shows while comedian Peter Kay and former One Direction star Niall Horan both made £10million.

The 1975 also made around £10million with their tour while Take That and James Blunt came in at £7million.

Pollstar could not include figures from Adele’s Las Vegas shows as the star doesn’t report her takings.

Taylor Swift doesn’t release her figures either.

It comes after Taylor Swift revealed that rock band U2 gifted her a sweet bouquet to wish her luck ahead of her string of Eras Tour shows in Dublin last weekend. 

The American singer, 34, performed three shows at the Aviva Stadium.

And Taylor appeared to have loved her time in Dublin as she took to her Instagram story last Friday to share with her followers a gorgeous snap of a bunch of pastel flowers. 

Alongside the bouquet, was also a handwritten card by members of the band.

The sweet message read: ‘Dear Taylor, Welcome back to our hometown… leave some of it standing?!!!! Your Irish fan club, Bono, Edge, Adam and Larry.’ 

Taylor captioned the sweet snap with: ‘Already feeling that Irish hospitality!! @u2, thanks for always being the classiest & coolest (Irish flag).’ 

Her tour has now moved to Amsterdam, while Germany and Austria are next on the list before she returns to Wembley in the middle of August for whopping five more shows.

The hit singer, who regularly breaks records, played the 100th show of her Eras Tour at Liverpool earlier last month, the first of three back-to-back shows. 

Taylor said she broke the stadium’s attendance record.

The previous record was 61,905 fans for an FA Cup fourth-round tie back in 1952.

‘Thank you to everyone who came out this weekend (you broke the all-time stadium attendance record!!) AND thank you to everyone who has come to any of the shows on The Eras Tour. It’s been the adventure of a lifetime because of you.’

It comes before Daily Mail revealed on Friday that Taylor is already working on new music for 2025 and has plans to tour again in 2026.

She has had an incredibly hectic year with her 152-date Eras tour and the release of The Tortured Poets Department. 

However, both have not stopped her from already working on new music as insiders revealed she could be releasing more songs early next year. 

Speaking to DailyMail.com, insiders have claimed she has been writing new material while on the road – which could see her address the controversy surrounding her alleged rivalry with Charli XCX.

‘Taylor is working on a new record which is due out in 2025 followed by a new tour in 2026,’ an insider told DailyMail.com. ‘

‘She is heavily inspired by all the new experiences she is having on the Eras tour and has been quietly writing songs backstage.’ 

‘Contrary to what some say, she loves artists like Charli XCX so those who have heard some of the ideas say she is paying attention to what is hot right now and will use that as inspiration.’

The 1975 also made around £10million with their tour while Take That (seen) and James Blunt came in at £7million
