Beyonce just made it to the top of Billboard’s 2025 year end touring report, with Cowboy Carter finishing as the highest grossing solo tour of the year.

The tour earned $407.6 million from 32 shows and the total attendance of the concerts reached 1.6 million.

Beyonce followed a residency style format across nine cities with Billboard confirming that Cowboy Carter is now the highest grossing country tour ever recorded.

The result marks another major touring milestone for Beyonce as it also places her among a small group of artists with multiple tours clearing the $400 million mark.

Earlier in the year, the Single Ladies hitmaker finished a run of five gigs at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, and pulled in 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.

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.

Second in line comes The Weeknd's mammoth After Hours Til Dawn tour, which garnered $336.7million (£251.7million).
