Highest-Grossing Concert Tours of All Time

About This Dataset

This chart ranks the highest-grossing concert tours in history by total ticket revenue in billions of US dollars, unadjusted for inflation. Each entry pairs the headlining artist with the tour name, based on reported box-office figures for all shows on the tour.

✨ AI Insight

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour stands in a category of its own, grossing about $2.08 billion, roughly 36% more than Coldplay's Music of the Spheres tour at $1.52 billion and the only tour ever to cross the $2 billion mark. Beyond the top two, the field clusters tightly: five tours, from Ed Sheeran's ÷ Tour down through Bruce Springsteen, fall within a narrow $730 million to $776 million range. Ed Sheeran is the only act with two tours in the top five, underscoring his sustained live drawing power. The Weeknd's After Hours til Dawn Tour ranks seventh at about $736 million. The list is dominated by tours from the 2020s, reflecting both higher ticket prices and the post-pandemic surge in live-music demand.
