Since 1986, only two bands have claimed the honor as the top-grossing* act twice in three years: the Rolling Stones (1998 and 1999) and the Grateful Dead (1991 and 1993).

But this year, another act can claim that title: Bon Jovi.

For the second time in three years, Bon Jovi ranks as the highest-grossing touring act. The band's achievement, this year and previously in 2008, demonstrates* that the group is hitting its touring peak* 26 years after releasing its debut* album.
