Hot Tours: James Taylor & Carole King, Michael Bublé, Westlife

The Troubadour Reunion Tour, starring co-headliners James Taylor and Carole King, is this week's top-grossing tour with more than $23 million in box office grosses reported from 13 venues. All were arenas except for the Hollywood Bowl where the veteran entertainers played to 51,168 fans during three performances (May 13-15). The $3.5 million in sold tickets at the Los Angeles amphitheater is the tour's top reported gross since its March 26 kick-off in Australia. Two shows at Boston's TD Garden also surpassed the $3 million mark in ticket sales. The 19,600-seat arena hosted the tour for two nights (June 19-20) with a combined attendance of 30,851 from both shows. Other venues with two-show stints were Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. (June 8, 23), Philadelphia's Wachovia Center (June 10, 22) and the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. (June 12-13).

Michael Bublé ranks No. 2 this week based on reported ticket sales totals from venues in two continents during May and June. At Sheffield Arena on May 6 the Canadian singer began a six-market run through the U.K. that produced £3.4 million in sold tickets. The top attendance came from the Manchester Evening News Arena with a crowd of 14,042 for one performance on May 9. Promoted by Live Nation, the brief trek was the Crazy Love Tour's first U.K. leg, but it is scheduled to return to Europe in September and October following a North American summer schedule. Also reported during the past week were totals from four June performances in the U.S. promoted by New Orleans-based Beaver Productions. Sellout crowds were reported at arenas in Tulsa, St. Louis, Kansas City and Omaha. His best totals came from the Sprint Center in Kansas City (June 26) with over $1 million in gross revenue from 12,905 sold tickets.
