List of most-attended concert tours

The following is a list of the most-attended concert tours in history, with at least 3.5 million tickets sold. There are also two more lists: most attended tours annually since 1997 and tours with most tickets sold in a single day.
Pollstar and Billboard provide boxscores, which are the primary data showing the commercial performance of tours, but since not all concerts are reported to them, especially before 2000, the number of tickets may rely on estimations by other sources. Tours may score large total attendances because of their number of shows, which can span multiple calendar years. The success of a tour is measured by both the number of attendances and it’s gross revenue, since it’s not necessary that the most-attended tours generate the largest profit due to ticket pricing.[1]
Coldplay was the first act to sell over 10 million tickets on the same concert run, achieving the feat with the Music of the Spheres World Tour (2022–2025).[2] The band is also the only act to sell a million tickets in a single day on two different occasions. U2 is the only act to achieve highest annual tour attendance six times.
Tina Turner, Cher, Madonna, Taylor Swift and Pink are the only women with a tour attended by 3.5 million people or more. Swift holds multiple records: first solo act to reach 10 million attendance on a tour (Eras Tour between 2023 and 2024); historically highest annual tour attendance (5.21 million in 2024); sole woman to have the highest annual tour attendance, achieving it twice (2023 and 2024); most tour tickets sold in a single day (2.4 million).[3][4]
