Källa: Swifts turné mest inkomstbringande i historien

The following is a list of concert tours that have generated the most gross income. The data and rankings come largely from reports by trade publications Billboard and Pollstar. Billboard, which launched the boxscore ranking in 1975 through its spin-off magazine Amusement Business, has featured the ranking in its own magazine since the issue date of October 3, 1981. Pollstar began reporting box office data on November 29, 1981, but it has relatively little information about pre-2000 tours. In the early 21st century, tour revenue skyrocketed as record sales collapsed and musicians began relying on live shows for their income. The first tours to surpass $100 million in revenue, according to reports, were Michael Jackson's Bad World Tour and Pink Floyd's A Momentary Lapse of Reason Tour, which both ran from 1987 to 1989. In 2023, Taylor Swift's Eras Tour became the first tour to collect US$1 billion in revenue, based on estimates by Pollstar. In 2024, Coldplay's Music of the Spheres World Tour became the first to gross over US$1 billion in revenue based on officially reported boxscores. The Eras Tour concluded in December 2024, following which the official net revenue was reported to be over $2.07 billion, marking the first tour to achieve that tally. While the touring industry is largely dominated by bands and male soloists of rock music, some of the highest-grossing tours have featured pop stars such as Swift, Ed Sheeran, Harry Styles, Beyoncé, Pink, and Madonna, as well as country singer Garth Brooks. The Rolling Stones set the all-time tour-revenue record three times (1990, 1995, and 2006); their Voodoo Lounge Tour held the record for 11 years (1995–2006), longer than any other record-holder. They are the only act to have the highest-grossing tour of the decade twice, in the 1990s and the 2000s. U2 has mounted the highest-grossing tour of the year at least eight times, more than any other act.
