Top 10 Highest-Grossing Country Tours of 2024

Written by on December 19, 2024

Earlier this week, Billboard revealed its year-end Boxscore charts, ranking the top tours, venues, and promoters of 2024. We’re breaking it down further, looking at the biggest live acts, genre by genre. Today, we continue with country.

Country music has been around for more than a century, but that doesn’t mean that it is outdated. In the post-pandemic era, the genre has blurred lines with pop and beyond, with artists on either side of the fence crossing over. Fans and radio programmers have embraced the blend, with playlisting becoming more genre-agnostic than ever.

In the calendar year of 2023, songs by Jason Aldean, Zach Bryan, Kacey Musgraves, Oliver Anthony Music and Morgan Wallen topped the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 for 17 weeks out of a 19-frame stretch. This year, Post Malone, Shaboozey and Wallen ruled for 26 of 28 weeks, without even accounting for Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em” earlier in the year.

All that mainstream success builds upon the already-sturdy foundation that country artists have built on tour over decades. Reliable road warriors such as Luke Bryan and Chris Stapleton continued with their annual amphitheater treks, while Zach Bryan padded his chart breakthrough with his first stadium tour, joining Luke Combs and Wallen on football fields’ calendars.

Keep reading to check out the 10 highest-grossing tours by country acts, with such artists 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, 2023, and Sept. 30, 2024, are eligible.
