Pollstar ranks the biggest concert tours of 2023

Pollstar, the concert industry publication, has released its Year-End Top Worldwide Tours and Top North American Tours charts and Taylor Swift is the queen and king.

Her Eras Tour grossed over a billion dollars, making it the first ever tour to hit that milestone.

She took in an estimated ticket gross of $1.04 billion with 4.35 million tickets sold from 60 shows, and as a result topped both the Worldwide and North American charts.

And if that wasn't enough, Taylor also took in close to $200 million in merchandise, and her Eras Tour concert movie took in $250 million, making it the highest-grossing concert movie of all time.

Additionally, Pollstar projects that Eras Tour ticket sales for the next eligibility box office year will again hit one-billion, taking the tour’s total to more than two-billion.
