2024 is merely crossing the midyear mark, but it’s already proved to be a considerably king-sized year vis-a-vis the grosses of the concert industry, reflecting a staggering spike from last year’s cumulative tally.According to Billboard Boxscore’s midyear recap, the Top 10 tours of the year thus far have already racked up unprecedented collections, which have gone up 83% from last year’s combined grosses. Billboard’s analysis only takes into account global data voluntarily reported to Boxscore by promoters, venues and artists. Despite those missing figures, the 83% spike represents the top 10 tours, including talents like U2, Pink, Madonna, Coldplay and others, scoring total combined grosses surpassing $1.5 billion. Billboard Boxscore’s midyear tally recorded data for these top 10 concert tours from October 1, 2023, to March 30, 2024.
