According to Forbes, no country does the festival quite like the U.S. And according to a study, Coachella is the highest grossing festival of them all. This isn’t too surprising, considering that it attracts six days of ticket revenue over the course of two weekends. Hitting over $80 million in ticket sales alone, the desert extravaganza did well in both satisfying a wider customer base and making three times as much bank as the second highest grossing show.
