Bon Jovi's recent Lost Highway tour was the biggest grossing tour of the year, new figures show.

The tour, which saw the band perform in front of over two million fans in North American and Europe, grossed $210.6million.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band's Magic tour was the second biggest, earning $204.5million.

Madonna, the Spice Girls and The Police, who qualified because of the second leg of their reunion tour, also featured in the top-10.

Despite a worldwide gross rise of 13% on last year, overall concert attendance remained level over the last twelve months, with 6% fewer shows.

Concert attendance in America also continued to fall - down 2% on top of a 20% fall in 2007.
