U2, Metallica, AC/DC and Rush were among the big names honored at the 2010 Billboard Touring Awards in New York on Thursday night.
U2 took home “Top Tour” and “Top Draw” awards for their 360 World Tour, based on top-grossing and top ticket-selling tours.
Metallica picked up the “Eventful Fans’ Choice” award, as voted by music fans across the States – essentially, a “Favorite” or “Best Concert Tour Of The Year” prize.
AC/DC snagged the “Top Boxscore” award for its three sellout shows at Sydney’s ANZ Stadium.
And, as previously announced (see “AC/DC, Bon Jovi and U2 top 2010 Billboard Touring Awards” here), Canadian icons Rush were honored with the “Legend Of Live” award for their contributions to the industry and commitment to performing.
