| Minggu, 12 Juni 2011 | 1 comments |


Avenged Sevenfold claims the No. 1 spot on the Hot Tours rankings with more than $3.6 million in box office grosses reported from the Welcome to the Family Tour, which kicked off on April 22 at CenturyTel Center in Bossier City, La. Joined by opening acts Three Days Grace, Bullet For My Valentine and Sevendust on select dates, the California rock band headlined 16 shows during the tour that ran during April and May. According to tour promoter Frank Productions, the number of sold seats neared the 100,000 mark for the tour. Avenged Sevenfold was also a top draw at Carolina Rebellion in Charlotte on May 7 with 30,000 fans in attendance for the rock festival's first outing. The band was the final act on the main stage that also featured performances by Godsmack, Three Days Grace and Stone Sour, among other bands during the all-day music festival event.

Comedy entertainers Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall and Larry the Cable Guy rank second among the week's list of top-grossing tours with ticket sales totals reported from the trio's co-headlining trek titled Them Idiots Whirled Tour. Gross totals from the five shows reported by tour promoter Outback Concerts during the past week, all staged in North American arenas, were $2.8 million with London, Ontario's John Labatt Centre producing the top ticket sales total. The May 7 performance grossed almost $700,000 (US$). Pittsburgh's CONSOL Energy Center drew the largest crowd with 11,597 in attendance on April 22. Among this week's reported concerts were two performances that featured only Bill Engvall and Larry the Cable Guy in the headlining slot. The shows, both in Canadian arenas, were at General Motors Centre in Oshawa, Ontario on April 20 and Memorial Auditorium in Kitchener, Ontario the following evening. The promoter also reported two smaller events that were sole headlining efforts by both Engvall and Larry. Bill Engvall headlined a performance on April 19 at Thunder Bay (Ontario) Community Auditorium and Larry the Cable Guy's show was at Essar Centre in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario on the same night.
