View ranking →As of November 13, 2026. The metric is total reported gross in nominal US dollars (not adjusted for inflation), in millions, as reported to Billboard Boxscore and Pollstar and compiled in Wikipedia’s list of highest-grossing concert tours. Grosses are reported figures, not audited, and exclude merchandise and sponsorship. Only finished tours are ranked: Metallica’s M72 World Tour ($668.4 million to date), BTS’s Arirang World Tour ($639.2 million) and Shakira’s Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour ($565.5 million) were still running at the last list update, so they are left out until they end; each would otherwise place in the top 15. The Weeknd’s gross is the promoter’s final figure for a tour that ended on November 4, 2026, not a Boxscore tally (see row 3 below). Table ends at $430 million; AC/DC’s Black Ice World Tour is not included because its figure differs widely between sources. “Decade started” is the year the tour began; genre is a broad RList grouping. Average per show is gross divided by shows, in millions. This ranks every genre; for one country’s acts see the highest-grossing K-pop tours.[1]
