Coldplay's Music of the Spheres World Tour is the most-attended tour of all time, with a total of 9.6 million tickets sold in 164 shows

The following is a list of the most-attended concert tours with at least 3.5 million tickets sold, as well as the tours with the most tickets sold by year and the most tickets sold in a single day. The number of attendances is often considered to measure the success of a tour. However, the most-attended tours do not necessarily generate the largest profit, due to ticket pricing. Rankings of most successful tours are generally based on gross revenue instead of number of attendances. [1] Pollstar and Billboard provide boxscores which are the primary data showing the commercial performance of tours. However, since not all concerts are reported to them, especially before 2000, the number of tickets may rely on estimations by other sources.

Tours may score large total attendances because of their number of shows, which can span multiple calendar years. Coldplay's Music of the Spheres World Tour is the most-attended tour of all time, with 9.6 million tickets sold in 164 shows between 2022 and 2024. [2] Ed Sheeran's ÷ Tour holds the record for the most-attended tour in a year, with 4.86 million people in 2018. U2 scored the annual most-attended tours at least six times since 1997, more than any other act. Meanwhile, Tina Turner, Cher, Madonna, Taylor Swift and Pink are the only women with a tour attended by 3.5 million people or more. According to Pollstar and Billboard, Swift is the only female artist to ever achieve the largest tour attendance in a single year. [lower-alpha 1] She also broke the record for fastest-selling tour, with 2.4 million tickets sold in a single day for the first leg of the Eras Tour (2023–2024) in the United States.
