The 2011 "Glee Live! In Concert" tour ranked as the No. 16 biggest tour of the year according to Billboard BoxScore. It grossed a reported $40.85 million from 40 sell-out shows (out of 40 total dates). Total attendance numbered 485,852.

According to Billboard, they won't do a tour in 2012.

Quote:

The cast of "Glee" will not tour this year, as first reported by Billboard's sister publication the Hollywood Reporter. "We currently have no plans of touring the cast this summer," a spokesman for show's studio, Twentieth Century Fox Television, said.

While the ensemble had hit the road both in 2010 and 2011, it was at the cost of sacrificing much of the actors' summer hiatus from the show. And getting that break in 2012 was essential. Murphy -- along with the rest of the parties involved -- wanted to ensure the cast was happy and had the ability to pursue other non-"Glee" projects (film or otherwise) over the summer.
