Shakira’s First Ever Stadium Tour Tops The February Box Office

According to a data provided to Billboard Boxscore, Shakira earned $32.9 million from 282,000 tickets sold in February, placing her at the top of Billboard’s monthly Top Tours chart for the first time.

In recent years, performers that have previously topped the list have taken the top spot on the Top Tours chart. In October, P!nk made a comeback for her fourth triumph, and in November, Coldplay won her fifth. In December, Trans-Siberian Orchestra made a fifth appearance, and in January, Coldplay made a comeback to the top.

Shakira became the first Latin female solo artist to reach No. 1 on the charts, following Bad Bunny, Los Bukis, and RBD as the top Latin musicians of the month.

This is Shakira’s first month at the top of the charts, and it is also her first time appearing on the 30-position chart. Three months after the conclusion of her last tour, the 2018 El Dorado World Tour, the first edition of the tally included the largest tours of February 2019.

With 35,200 people and a $2.9 million revenue, Shakira launched her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour on February 11 at Rio de Janeiro’s Estadio Nilton Santos. Throughout the month, her pace quickened, reaching $6.4 million in Sao Paulo on the 13th, $11.3 million in Atlantico, Colombia, on the 20th and 21st, and $12.3 million during a doubleheader at El Nemesio Camacho in Bogota on the 26th and 27th of February. The two Colombian pauses come to an end at Nos. 3 (Bogota) and 6 (Atlantico) on Top Boxscores.

Shakira has been a consistent sellout performer in stadia for nearly three decades. For the first time, she will almost solely perform in stadiums in big markets on her 2025 tour. Therefore, her February engagements paced $5.5 million and 47,000 tickets per night, but her Latin American appearances in the 21st century have averaged $1 million to $1.5 million per show.

The Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour will take Shakira to the United States and Canada until the end of June after stopping in Mexico, Chile, and Columbia again in April. By the end of 2025, the tour’s total profits, which include two postponed appearances in Lima, Peru in November, are expected to surpass $200 million, potentially double her career earnings.

With the first performances from Chromakopia: “The World Tour,” Tyler, the Creator comes in at number two on Top Tours. After peaking at No. 10 in March 2022 and making two more entries in the top 20 in the fall of 2019, this is his highest rating to date. After Travis Scott (No. 2 in October 2024) and Post Malone (No. 1 in October 2019 and February 2020), he is just the third rapper to reach this position since the chart’s inception.

In February, he sold 188,000 tickets and made $29 million from 14 gigs. Tyler’s appearance at Chromakopia is not his first arena appearance, but it does mark a concerning increase in the number of headliners. The tour doubles 2022’s Call Me If You Get Lost Tour ($993,000) with an average nightly rate of $2.1 million. The Igor Tour ($414,000) in 2019 did the same, and it had doubled the speed of the Flower Boy Tour ($177,000) in 2017–18.

The top ten performers in February are equally distributed throughout pop, rap, rock, Latin, and country genres. There is diversity even in pop and rock, which both have several top-tier performers. For example, ATEEZ (No. 7) and Ed Sheeran (No. 8) are different in language and territory, and the Eagles (No. 5) and Linkin Park (No. 9) are different in generation.

Australia and Mexico City shared first place in the monthly venue rankings. Top Stadiums is won by the former’s Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, which is totally funded by $20.9 million from Electric Daisy Carnival over February 21–23. During the 28-day period, Auditorio Nacional dominates Top Venues (5,001-10k capacity) with a wider stroke of 22 shows.

Drake and Billie Eilish’s multi-night engagements have helped Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena rank #1 among venues with a capacity of 15,001 or more. And with $17.2 million from 13 shows, Brisbane Entertainment Center takes first place in the 10,001–15k category.

AEG Presents oversees Top Promoters, thanks to significant tours by Tyler the Creator, Kylie Minogue, Kelsea Ballerini, and others. The multinational touring behemoth made $201.8 million and sold just under two million tickets from a reported 687 shows in February.
