Top 10 Highest Grossing Rap Tours of the Year

Billboard revealed its year-end Boxscore charts earlier in December, ranking the top tours, venues and promoters of 2025. We’re breaking it down further, looking at the biggest live acts, genre by genre. Now, we continue with rap.

Last year, rap doubled its share within the top 100 tours. It makes another leap in 2025, up to 7.7% due to $693.4 million from six tours on the all-genre chart.

Still, the genre’s year-end top 10 doesn’t tell the whole story. Travis Scott grossed more than $40 million during the ’25 tracking period, but that is just a small percentage of the Circus Maximus Tour’s record-breaking nine-figure grosses. YoungBoy Never Broke Again brought in $28 million in the first month of his debut arena tour, but it has continued throughout the fall, doubling and then some.

The biggest rap tour of the year is by the same act who leads year-end charts for Top Rap Albums, Hot Rap Songs and Top Rap Artists. He caps an enormous two-year run that included the highest grossing rap tour in history.

This year’s top 10 rap acts span generations, ranging from Wu-Tang Clan’s early ‘90s debut to the 2020s emergence of the United Kingdom’s Central Cee.
