U2's current 360° tour has become the highest grossing tour in history, beating the record previously set by The Rolling Stones.

Following their concert in Brazil last night the band passed the $558m world record.

The tour kicked off in July 2009 in Barcelona and still has more than 20 gigs to go before ending in Canada in July.

Before that, U2 will headline the Friday night of this year's Glastonbury Festival in June.
