I was trying to compare this number to how many people travel with the president, but couldn't find any documentation.
I'm thinking with roadies, techs, assistants etc, it must be close to 100 if not much more?|||Probably not that much. Even for a band of that size it wouldn't be cost efficient to transport that many people around when it really isn't needed. It may be that someone like Madonna - someone who brings along anything from dancers and babysitters to personal trainers, massage therapists, religious gurus, their own chefs, costume designers, dressers, make-up artists and what not - may be close to that number.
Most bands hire local folks for catering, rigging etc. The main staff which travels with the band and back up singers/side kicks on tour includes tour manager, production manager, FOH (main) mixer (sound engineer), monitor mixer, lighting techs, instrument techs, assistants, some times personal security, drivers and roadies. Probably somewhere in excess of 30 and 40 people (just a somewhat qualified guess).
