Unforgettable Spectacles: Discover the Top 10 Highest Grossing K-Pop Tours of 2024!
Earlier this week, Billboard unveiled its year-end Boxscore charts, highlighting 2024’s top tours, venues, and promoters. Diving deeper into the music scene, let’s explore K-pop’s standout year. Since BigBang’s breakthrough in 2015 on the all-genre Top Tours chart, K-pop groups have increasingly dominated global arenas and stadiums. With industry giants BTS and BLACKPINK taking a break, numerous idol groups have reached new financial milestones and several newcomers have made their debut on the year-end charts.
The top 10 K-pop acts collectively grossed $329.2 million this year, marking a nearly 25% drop from the previous year. However, this decrease can be attributed to BLACKPINK’s absence, who amassed a staggering $150 million in 2023. This year’s figures are more evenly spread across the board, with five acts achieving at least $20 million in sales. It’s important to note that Boxscore charts rely on reported data, and K-pop artists often have limited reporting, particularly for Asian performances.
This year’s top 10 showcases an equal split between boy bands and female acts, yet the male groups take the lead, occupying the first four spots, with just one solo artist making the list. Here’s a look at the top K-pop tours based on Boxscore’s global data from October 1, 2023, to September 30, 2024:
1. SEVENTEEN: $98.4M, 865,000 tickets, 24 shows
2. ENHYPEN: $63M, 407,000 tickets, 36 shows (All-Genre Rank: No. 50)
3. TOMORROW X TOGETHER: $58.1M, 453,000 tickets, 26 shows (No. 52)
4. ATEEZ: $37.6M, 192,000 tickets, 13 shows (No. 83)
5. TWICE: $24.2M, 220,000 tickets, 5 shows

These remarkable figures underscore K-pop’s sustained global influence and its diverse representation in today’s music industry.
