The Jacksons had performed in both Nassau, New York and Los Angeles, California. |
1984 |
Victory Tour |
2 million (approx.) |
Was the biggest tour done by a group. It has been said that Michael did not see eye to eye with promoter Don King, and this tour would be the Jackson's last tour together as a collective. |
1987-1989 |
Bad World Tour |
4.4 million (approx.) |
Was the biggest tour by any performer. Grossing over US$128 million worldwide. This has since been beaten by the Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney. [1] |
1992-1993 |
Dangerous World Tour |
3.5 million (approx.) |
Tour was cut short due to Michael's health and the ongoing problems relating to child molestation allegations against him that year. |
1996-1997 |
HIStory World Tour |
4.5 million (approx.) |
This topped Michael's Bad tour in terms of capital, grossing over 178 million. Most impressive is the fact that Michael never toured the continental U.S., despite two occasions at the Aloha Bowl in Hawaii. He was the first artist in history to sell out the 35,000-capacity stadium. |
