Robbie Williams is an artist that comes to mind who was able to sell out large venues across the world without US success - thinking of the Close Encounters tour: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close_Encounters_Tour - but it's certainly hard to think of others.

He hasn't had much if any impact in the US with his albums, but he did tour several large US cities in 1999 playing smaller venues.[1] So while he appears to be somewhat of an exception, even after international success he's unlikely sell out stadiums in the US. We'll see, though.
