Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour has made history. With $407.6 million in revenue and 1.6 million tickets sold, Queen Bey delivered the most successful country tour ever on Boxscore
Beyoncé has done it again. With the conclusion of her Cowboy Carter Tour, the superstar has made history—this time by delivering the most successful country tour ever recorded on the Boxscore charts. Breaking records with every performance, Beyoncé has proven once more why she remains one of the most unstoppable forces in global music.
The Cowboy Carter Tour wasn’t just another series of concerts. It was a statement of power, artistry, and dominance in the live music industry. July alone brought in staggering numbers: $102.3 million in revenue across eight sold-out stadium shows, with more than 392,000 tickets sold. That made July her third consecutive month crossing the $100 million mark, a feat no other female artist in history has achieved. With this record, Beyoncé joins a rare league of performers who consistently command stadiums around the world.
This isn’t new territory for Queen Bey. Back in 2023, her Renaissance World Tour had already proven her touring power by dominating Boxscore charts for three months straight. With Cowboy Carter, she matched that success again, equaling Bad Bunny’s record-setting run from 2022. Altogether, Beyoncé has now claimed the top spot on Boxscore for seven months—a milestone that places her alongside elite touring giants like Bad Bunny, Coldplay, and Elton John. Together, these four acts have held nearly half of all Boxscore No. 1 rankings in the last six years.
Her individual shows speak volumes. Four performances at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium drew more than 206,000 fans and grossed $55.4 million. While not surpassing the epic $70.3 million haul from her New York shows in May or the $61.6 million from London in June, Atlanta still ranked among the top-grossing concerts of the year. Even her opening shows at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium, which pulled $55.7 million, couldn’t eclipse the scale of her New York dominance—but every stop reinforced her global reign.
In addition to Atlanta, July included two shows at Northwest Stadium near Washington, D.C., bringing in $27.4 million, and two massive nights at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, grossing $19.4 million with more than 90,000 tickets sold. By the end of the tour, Cowboy Carter had grossed an eye-popping $407.6 million with 1.6 million tickets sold across 32 shows. That officially crowned it as the highest-grossing country tour of all time in Boxscore history.
With this record, Beyoncé further solidified her status as the top-earning Black and R&B touring artist ever, while maintaining her place among the top 10 highest-grossing live performers overall. Along the way, she smashed more than 40 local records in attendance, revenue, and sellouts across multiple cities. The message is clear: Beyoncé’s name isn’t just synonymous with success—it defines excellence on stage.
Of course, Beyoncé wasn’t the only superstar pulling massive numbers in July. The Weeknd ranked second with $89.6 million in revenue and 604,000 tickets sold, performing across California, Canada, and Philadelphia. Highlights included two sold-out nights at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, drawing 98,400 fans and $17.1 million, as well as four sold-out concerts at Toronto’s Rogers Centre grossing $24.9 million (half of which were recorded in July). His After Hours til Dawn Tour has now crossed $635 million and sold more than 5.1 million tickets—making it the highest-grossing R&B tour in history, surpassing Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour.
In third place came Imagine Dragons, who closed out their Loom World Tour with 14 shows in July, entertaining 757,000 fans and grossing $86.3 million. Over the past year, their tour amassed $239 million in total revenue with 2.2 million tickets sold. Their European stadium shows—such as two nights in Paris with a combined 158,000 fans—highlight just how much their global influence has grown.
The top 10 also featured K-pop powerhouses. Stray Kids landed at No. 5, while BTS’s Jin made his first solo appearance at No. 9. ATEEZ and ENHYPEN also appeared in the rankings at No. 18 and No. 30, further proving the worldwide demand for Korean acts.
In terms of venues, Madison Square Garden reclaimed the crown as the top-grossing arena in July with $26.4 million in revenue, finally overtaking Las Vegas’ Sphere, which had dominated for four consecutive months. With shows from artists like Gracie Abrams, Chris Stapleton, and Tyler, The Creator, New York reasserted itself as the ultimate concert destination.
The story of Beyoncé continues to expand. With the groundbreaking Cowboy Carter Tour rewriting history, alongside the rise of acts like Imagine Dragons and the global dominance of K-pop groups, the 2025 live music scene feels more competitive and alive than ever. Yet through it all, Queen Bey remains firmly on top, proving once again why she’s the ultimate live performance phenomenon.
