U2 Breaks Records With Rose Bowl Concert

U2 broke it’s own attendance record  with the Rose Bowl show, according to Reuters:

The band’s 360 Tour played the Pasadena, California, Rose Bowl on October 25 to a sellout crowd of 97,014 — the highest attendance on record for one U.S. show by a single headliner based on box office totals reported to Billboard.
