The following is a list of the highest-grossing concert series at a single venue (excluding music festivals). A run of concerts at the same venue may be promoted as a standalone residency or a multi-day engagement from a larger concert tour. Both Pollstar and Billboard have defined residencies as 10 shows or more at a single location.[1] However, Billboard omits all “mini-residencies within a tour” from its rankings, favoring events that established independent names, productions and set lists.[2]
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are the earliest known artists to gross over $30 million on a multi-day engagement. They performed at the Giants Stadium for 10 nights in 2003, yielding $38.6 million. In 2011, Take That broke their record twice: the first time with eight dates at Etihad Stadium ($44.1 million) and the second with eight dates at Wembley Stadium ($62.8 million). Harry Styles eclipsed them by holding 15 performances at Madison Square Garden in 2022, registering a $63.1 million total.
Beyoncé was the first woman to report earnings above $30 million. Her five shows at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium were estimated to generate $38.9 million in 2023. Two years later, she played five concerts at MetLife Stadium, drawing $70.2 million to beat Styles. Also in 2025, Shakira outdid both and grossed $76 million after 12 nights at Estadio GNP Seguros. Coldplay followed with $131.3 million from 10 dates at Wembley Stadium, which became the first run to exceed $100 million.
Celine Dion is the top earner among residency performers, grossing $681 million across the New Day… (2003–2007) and Celine (2011–2019) series. Most residencies are staged at theaters in the Las Vegas Valley because of its popularity as a tourist destination,[2] though artists such as Billy Joel and Springsteen have launched events based in New York City. Joel’s At the Garden (2014–2024) is the leading residency by a male solo act. U2 holds the record among bands, collecting $244.4 million from U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere (2023–2024).
