List of most-attended concert tours

[1] Pollstar and Billboard provide boxscores, which are the primary data showing the commercial performance of tours, but 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.

Tina Turner, Cher, Madonna, Swift and Pink are the only women with a tour attended by 3.5 million people or more.
