Shania Twain has grossed nearly $3.5 million on our Hot Tickets chart this week with three stops on her Rock This Country Tour. The AEG Live-promoted tour began June 5 at KeyArena at Seattle Center and was originally scheduled to end Aug. 23 at SaveMart Arena, Fresno, Calif. However, due to high demand, the Rock This Country Tour was extended by 19 shows in North America. With ticket prices ranging from $46 to $151, Twain, with supporting act Gavin DeGraw, played back-to-back sold-out stops at Allstate Arena, Rosemont, Ill., and Bridgestone Arena, Nashville, Tenn., July 29-31. Fans can catch Twain and DeGraw on the next stop of the tour in Oklahoma City at Chesapeake Energy Arena on Aug. 12.

Def Leppard, Styx & Tesla began their 2015 Summer Tour in June, with nearly 50 stops across North America before ending at Bismarck (N.D.) Civic Center. The Live Nation and Pepper Entertainment-promoted night on Aug. 8 saw ticket prices ranging from $40 to $100 for the 9,900 fans in attendance. The sold-out performance grossed more than $751,000 at Denny Sanford Premier Center, Sioux Falls, S.D. The next stop on the Live Nation-promoted tour will be in Sedalia at the Missouri State Fair.
