Bruce Springsteen performs on stage during a concert at the Rock in Rio Festival on Sept. 21 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Ever heard of the Rock In Rio Fest? The annual Brazilian party earned plenty of attention this year after organizers of the seven-day event posted a staggering $55.6-million gross and a total attendance of 600,000. This year's festival included headliners Beyoncé, Muse, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Florence And The Machine, Iron Maiden, and Metallica.

In fact, all five shows in this week's 15,001-or-More category and 10,001- to 15,000-seat category took place overseas — Fleetwood Mac scored $6.5 million with three shows at the O2 Arena in London while Bon Jovi banked $5.7 million with a one-night event at Morumbi Stadium, Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour by Cirque du Soleil is continuing to go gangbusters, grossing over $13.5 million following 12 shows Down Under, first at the brand new AEG Ogden-managed Perth (Australia) Arena and later at the Allphones Arena in Sydney. Also making big bucks in Australia is country singer Alan Jackson who grossed $1.7 million following two shows promoted by Chugg Entertainment at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre.
