These are the artists who have raised more money thanks to their concerts so far from 2025 – Radio Concert

This Thursday, Billboard published his expected mid -year report on the musical tours industry, revealing a significant fall in gross collection compared to 2024. However, far from being an alarm signal, the data point to a Strategic reconfiguration of the live show industry.

As of June 2025, the 10 most important tours accumulated income from $ 1 billion dollarscompared to $ 1.4 billion of the same period in 2024, which represents a 28%drop. In the top 50 tours, the decline was 21%.

The main cause? Not a lower demand from the public, but a drastic decrease in the number of concerts performed. While in 2024 the 10 leading tours added 442 shows, in 2025 they barely reach 245, a 45%drop.

According to Michael Rapino, CEO of Live Nation, this trend responds to a new programming logic: more and more artists opt for tours that are concentrated in the second half of the yearespecially during the summer of the northern hemisphere, when stadium shows abound and climatic conditions are optimal.

It is also key to remember that the 2024 figures were promoted by exceptional events such as the U2 residence in the Sphere de Las Vegas, which raised more than $ 230 million. This year, although figures like Coldplay, P! NK and Paul McCartney continue to leadthe panorama shows less diversity of genres, with Shakira and Tyler, The Creator as the only Latin and hip-hop representatives, respectively, in the first places.

Here are the list of the 10 most successful musical tours in the middle of the year in 2025, ordered from 10 to 1 by gross collection:
