Zach Bryan rules Advertising signThe June Boxscore report featuring 10 shows from The Quittin' Time tour. According to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, Bryan earned $68.9 million and sold 340,000 tickets in June.
It's Bryan's first monthly win since hitting No. 2 in March, sitting behind Bad Bunny. He scored two more top 10 placements in April (No. 10) and May (No. 4) before reaching the top spot. After Morgan Wallen (April 2023), he is only the second country artist to top the list.
The Quittin' Time tour has grossed $184 million and sold 929,000 tickets since its March 5 launch through the end of June. Just past the halfway point, the tour has already quadrupled the earnings of Bryan's Burn Burn Burn tour from last year, which had quadrupled 2022's The American Run tour itself. In two years, it has multiplied its average gross per show by more than 14, from $292,000 in '22, to $4.3 million.
Coldplay are June's runners-up, logging their third month at No. 2 in addition to three months at No. 1. During the month, the British rockers earned $68 million and sold 576,000 tickets.
The band's consistency – six months in the top two, plus eight more in the top 10 – has paid off: the Music of the Spheres tour has grossed $875.8 million and sold 8.2 million tickets since its March 2022 launch .
Both the tour gross and attendance are the second largest in Boxscore history. Elton John's Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour (2018-23) grossed $939.1 million and Ed Sheeran's The Divide tour (2017-19) sold 8.9 million tickets. With more dates scheduled, Coldplay are likely to surpass both by the end of the summer.
The main asterisk for these all-time highs is that Taylor Swift hasn't reported on The Eras tour. Advertising sign estimated more than $900 million in the bank and more than four million tickets sold last November. Since then, it has appeared in Asia, Australia and Europe, with a return to North America planned for the fall, meaning it is likely to cross $1 billion and close in on Sheeran's total.
While Bryan leads Coldplay on Top Tours, they've reversed their fortunes on Top Boxscores, with the latter's three shows at Groupama Stadium in Lyon, France ($22.6 million, 165,000 tickets) more than double the former's at the Mile High Stadium in Denver ($20.5 million). , 110,000 tickets). The Lyon venue rules the Top Stadiums.
Both acts fill out the rest of the Top Boxscores, with Coldplay appearing four times in the first half and Bryan making a total of six appearances. This is the total of every artist's concerts since June, dominating the stadium charts – Coldplay in Europe and Bryan in the US
At first, all of the top 10 artists – Bryan, Coldplay, P!nk, Dead & Company, Aventura, Justin Timberlake, Kenny Chesney, Chris Brown, Green Day and Luke Combs – boasted earnings of $30 million or more. They had done it for nine tours in August and September 2022 and again in June and July 2023.
Plus, the entire Top Tours chart is stronger than ever. German singer Roland Kaiser rounds out the list at No. 30, with $11.5 million from nine shows. That's higher than the bottom of the list has ever been, surpassing Marco Antonio Solis' $10.8 million last September. June marks the second month since the charts launched in 2019 that all 30 ranked tours reported $10 million or more in revenue.
June's Top 30 Artists combine veteran artists like Dead & Company, Billy Joel and Luis Miguel with fresh faces like Bryan, Feid and Noah Kahan. Classic pop groups make their mark as Girls Aloud's 2024 reunion sits at No. 14 with $19.1 million and Take That's UK tour continues at No. 26 with $13 million.
June's top-grossing venue is Las Vegas' Sphere. The venue hosted 10 shows over four weekends with artist-in-residence Dead & Company. The supergroup grossed $50.2 million and sold 162,000 tickets, enough to reach No. 4 on Top Tours and take Top Boxscores at Nos. 4, 5 and 8.
Up 38% since May, it's Sphere's second consecutive month at No. 1, with its unique concert experience driving high ticket prices. Madison Square Garden outsold the Sphere by more than 80,000 tickets and grossed about $12 million less, the latter nearly double MSG's average ticket ($309 vs. $156).
The lowest capacity venue charts are dominated by Glasgow (OVO Hydro), Atlanta (Fox Theatre) and Las Vegas (Dolby Live and Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas). Historically shut out by larger venues in the 5,000-and-under capacity rankings, Encore Theater marks its first month at No. 1 on the new breakout chart for venues capped at 2,500 or less.
