Reünie nummer 12

Wham schijnt weer bij elkaar te komen. Alsof het allemaal nog niet erg genoeg was.

Maar nu we het toch over al dat gereüneer hebben, daar gaat wel aardig wat geld in om. Idolator vat een interessant stuk samen uit een artikel in de Washington Post, na de clickthrough.

In 2005, a reunion tour by '80s metal band Motley Crue took the industry by surprise and became the No. 11 grossing tour of the year, taking in close to $40 million in 22 cities, according Pollstar, which tracks concert-industry data. A three-night stand by the blues rock band Cream at Madison Square Garden was the fourth-highest-grossing show the same year, taking in $10.6 million; it also helped to further propel the reunion phenomenon. A spokeswoman for Cream frontman Eric Clapton says the trio has no plans for further concert or recording activity...

The Pixies tour, which continued through 2005, is an object lesson in the lucrative economics of reunions. The Pixies tour grossed an average $180,000 a show, according Pollstar. The band played bigger venues, to bigger audiences, than it ever did during its original career as influential alternative-rock pioneers in the late 1980s. By contrast, in the same period a solo tour by Pixies leader Frank Black took in just an average of $8,800 a show.
