Clair Clients Rank as Top Touring Artists of the Decade

The numbers are in, and the last decade proved to be a successful one for live touring. No one knows that better than the road warriors who made Billboard magazine’s “Top Tours of the Decade” and Pollstar magazine’s “Top 50 Concert Tours of the Decade” for bringing in the biggest crowds.

Made up of 25 artists, Billboard’s listing is based on gross earnings, number of shows, total attendance and number of sell-outs.
