Top Tours of 2025: A Year in Review

December is here, and it's time to look back at the top artists, albums, songs, and tours of the year. The year-end charts have been released, and we are diving into the highest-grossing tours of 2025, week by week. The race began with Paul McCartney and P!nk neck and neck, closely followed by Bruno Mars. Mars took the lead with $85 million from shows in Brazil, while Coldplay dominated in Australia and New Zealand for three weeks.

As the year turned over, McCartney reclaimed the top spot after his fall tour across Europe and Latin America. Coldplay then surged ahead with groundbreaking shows in India in January. They held the lead from mid-January to mid-June, with other acts like SEVENTEEN, Shakira, and Kendrick Lamar and SZA making appearances in the top ranks. Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour took the lead in the summer, grossing over $400 million in 32 shows, surpassing all others by a significant margin.

Beyoncé's tour concluded in July, but the other top tours of the year continued. Lamar, SZA, Coldplay, The Weeknd, and Shakira all had successful runs throughout the year. The competition was fierce, but only one act could end the year at the number one spot. To find out who claimed the top position, watch the video above.
