That tour helped the band collect $118 million
in pre-tax earnings from June 1, 2017 to June 1, 2018, the
magazine said. The performances featured well-known hits from
"The Joshua Tree" album including "Where the Streets Have No
Name," "With or Without You" and "I Still Haven't Found What I'm
Looking For."
The band's earnings also included revenue from a new tour,
"Experience + Innocence."
British band Coldplay finished second on the Forbes list with
$115.5 million, mostly from its "A Head Full Of Dreams" tour.
Billions of streams helped 27-year-old British singer Ed Sheeran
finish third with $110 million. He was followed by Bruno Mars
with $100 million and Katy Perry with $83 million.
