List of highest-grossing live music artists

For simplification, the figures are presented in nominal dollars without being adjusted for inflation, hence they do not reflect the real value of revenue from older concerts.

Taylor Swift is the highest-grossing live music artist of all time, collecting $3 billion according to Pollstar.

The Rolling Stones are the highest-grossing live music group of all time, collecting over $2.9 billion according to Billboard Boxscore.

U2, Coldplay, Bruce Springsteen and Elton John also passed two-billion mark in concert revenue.

The concert industry is very male-dominated,[1] and only five women have grossed more than $1 billion (as of 2024), with Madonna being the first.
