Top 10 Highest Grossing Country Tours of the Year

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

Country is one of the most consistent genres when it comes to the Boxscore charts. In fact, its 14.5% share of this year’s top 100 grosses is almost the same, but slightly up, from its place on the inaugural year-end chart in 1991 (14.3%). Never higher than 18% (1996 – 17.5%) or lower than 8% (except for 2001, 5.9%), this year still marks a bright spot.

Though country music has never fallen off, it has slowly built back to a decade high. After reaching 14.7% in 2015, it slipped back under the 10% threshold for 2017-19 before slowly growing to 10% in 2022, more than 12% in 2023-24, and now to 14.5%.

It’s no secret who tops this year’s genre breakout, as it’s already been reported that Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour is not only 2025’s biggest country tour, but the highest grossing country tour in Boxscore history. But she isn’t the only superstar who is new to the genre, leading over another genre agnostic hitmaker who has previously made their mark in pop and hip-hop.

Keep reading to check out the 10 highest grossing tours by country acts, with such acts qualifying due to recent performance on Billboard’s Top Country Albums and/or Hot Country Songs charts. Rankings are determined according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore. All reported shows worldwide between Oct. 1, 2024, and Sept. 30, 2025, are eligible.
