Beyonce has just ascended to the pinnacle of Billboard's 2025 year-end touring report, with Cowboy Carter's solo tour claiming the title of the highest-grossing in the industry. This extraordinary tour earned a staggering $407.6 million from 32 concerts, reaching a total attendance of 1.6 million fans.
Adopting a residency-style format, Beyonce captivated audiences across nine cities, making Cowboy Carter the most lucrative country tour ever recorded, as confirmed by Billboard. This monumental achievement marks yet another significant milestone in Beyonce's illustrious touring career, placing her among an elite group of artists who have surpassed the $400 million mark with multiple tours.
Earlier this year, the "Single Ladies" sensation wrapped up a string of five gigs at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, amassing over $50 million and selling 217,000 tickets. Rolling Stone magazine reported that this Los Angeles run was the "biggest reported single-venue engagement" of the year so far, and it also stands as the fifth-highest grossing tour stop in Boxscore history.
Beyonce's tour kicked off on April 28 and returned to the venue on May 1, 4, 7, and 9, earning an average of $11.1 million per night with over 43,000 fans in attendance for each show. Coming in a close second is The Weeknd's mammoth After Hours Til Dawn tour, which grossed an impressive $336.7 million (£251.7 million).
