Beyoncé has topped Billboard’s 2025 year‑end touring report, with Cowboy Carter finishing as the highest‑grossing solo tour of the year. The run earned $407.6 million from 32 shows. Total attendance reached 1.6 million.
The tour followed a residency‑style format across nine cities. Billboard also confirmed that Cowboy Carter is now the highest‑grossing country tour ever recorded.
The result marks another major touring milestone for Beyoncé. It also places her among a small group of artists with multiple tours clearing the $400 million mark. She is the first American act to achieve this twice.
Earlier in the year, the Crazy In Love hitmaker finished a run of five gigs at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, and pulled in well over $50 million with 217,000 tickets sold.
As reported by Rolling Stone magazine, the Los Angeles run was the “biggest reported single-venue engagement” of the year so far.
It was also the fifth-highest grossing tour stop in Boxscore history, beaten only by U2 at the Sphere in Las Vegas across 2023 and 2024, Harry Styles at New York’s Madison Square Garden in 2022, and Take That’s Wembley Stadium run in 2011.
It was also the highest-grossing single-venue engagement in history by a female artist.
Beyonce started her tour on April 28 and returned to the venue on May 1, 4, 7 and 9, pulling in an average of $11.1 million per night with over 43,000 fans in attendance for each show.
The Weeknd’s mammoth After Hours Til Dawn tour grossed $336.7million (£251.7million).
Coldplay closed out 2025 with the year’s highest‑grossing tour overall, according to the year-end figures from Billboard Boxscore. The band’s Music of the Spheres World Tour generated $464.9 million.Â
