Report says Beyoncé and Jay-Z made over a quarter-billion dollars by the show ‘On The Run II’.
The powerful couple Jay-Z and Beyoncé are known for, it’s securing the bag. Their second joint tour, On The Run II, reportedly wrapped up with earnings of $253.5 million, according to Billboard.
The four-month long tour of 48 joint concerts began in 6 June, with the final date taking place in Seattle earlier this month (October 4). NME described the show as “a two-hour masterclass from a pair of icons who are seemingly hell-bent on proving that love conquers all”. During their shows on 25-26 Aug in Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium alone, the couple grossed $14.1 million.
The tour On The Run II was filled with surprises. Everything Is Love, the couple’s first joint album, was released 10 days after the opening night and won Album of the Year at this year’s BET Hip Hop Awards. “Apeshit,” which is the second single on the album, immediately became a crowd favorite when performed on the tour as well.
This tour nearly doubles that of the first On The Run tour. During its first trek in 2014, Jay and Bey’s tour brought in $109.6 million from 980,000 tickets sold. The couple performed only twice in Europe and 19 times in North America.
