Rocker and the E Street Band just completed the most successful trek in their touring history, and propelled Springsteen into the $2 billion touring club
Bruce Springsteen’s just-completed world tour with the E Street Band has proven to be the most successful of the rocker’s career with a gross of more than $700 million.
The tour, which spanned 129 shows and two continents from 2023 to 2025 (with a peptic ulcer postponement in between), made almost $730 million over its run, more than doubling the $347 million earned by Springsteen’s previous top-grossing tour, the Wrecking Ball tour in 2012 and 2013, Billboard reports.
The trek also sold 4.9 million tickets across its dates, good for a nightly gate of 37,900 tickets and $5.7 million on average per show, both the best totals of Springsteen’s touring career.
Critics will point to the fact that tickets to Springsteen’s latest tour cost more than his previous treks, but Billboard throws cold water on that theory, noting that ticket prices jumped 29 percent (or $115 to $149) from the previous E Street tour in 2017 to his latest jaunt, a percentage that is “well below the typical uptick for other arena and stadium acts, legacy or contemporary.”
Springsteen and the E Street Band’s 2023-2025 Tour, which wrapped earlier this month in Italy, also became one of the top 10 highest-grossing tours of all time, joining the likes of Taylor Swift’s the Eras Tour and jaunts by U2, Coldplay, and Ed Sheeran in a small club of artists that have grossed over $700 million on a single tour.
Over the course of his entire touring career, as a solo artist and with the E Street Band, Springsteen has grossed over $2.3 billion, one of only five artists to reach that number, Billboard added.
