There’s a good chance you attended one of these tours!
Country music is as lucrative and popular now than it has ever been. Country artists regularly top the Billboard 200 album chart and dominate the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, while music tours in 2024 saw country artists both young and old celebrate sold-out shows at increasingly bigger venues.
Billboard Boxscore just released their list of the Top 10 country music tours of the year, and the financial numbers are incredibly impressive. The number 1 spot was Zach Bryan, who grossed over $320 million while selling 1.6 million tickets to his 64 shows in 2024. Luke Combs came in second, grossing over $173 million over the course of his 39 shows, while selling 1.4 million tickets. Kenny Chesney was third ($159 million gross, 1.3M tickets sold over 34 shows), George Strait was fourth ($125 million gross, 464,000 tickets sold over 11 shows), while Chris Stapleton was fifth ($82 million gross, 718,000 tickets sold over 40 shows). The Top 10 was rounded out by (in order) Tim McGraw, Tyler Childers, Jelly Roll, Shania Twain, and Luke Bryan.
Who are you looking forward to seeing in 2025?
