Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour Is 2025’s Highest-Grossing Tour By A Solo Artist

Beyoncé‘s 32-show Cowboy Carter Tour was the highest-grossing solo artist tour of 2025, after earning $407.6 million from 1.6 million tickets sold. The jaunt also set the record as the highest-grossing country tour ever, despite playing a total of only nine cities with mini-residencies at each stop. This achievement follows Bey’s historic 2023 Renaissance tour, which grossed $579 million over 56 shows, making her the first American artist with two tours that surpassed $400 million. The Weeknd‘s After Hours Til Dawn tour ranked second among solo artists, grossing $336.7 million over its 46 dates while becoming the biggest tour by a male artist in history. Coldplay‘s Music Of The Spheres tour was the year’s top overall grossing trek at $464.9 million across 59 shows, making it the highest-grossing rock tour of all time. (NME)
