Chart Scene: Bruce Springsteen Returns To Artist Power Index Following First 2024 Shows

Bruce Springsteen makes his first appearance this year on the Artist Power Index after resuming his ongoing tour with The E Street Band in mid-March. Concerts at the first four arenas on the tour’s 2024 schedule are included in the APX eligibility period, earning the rock legend the 32nd-best Live score of the week. The venues were Footprint Center in Phoenix, T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and San Diego’s Pechanga Arena, each with a single performance. Then, San Francisco’s Chase Center is also in the mix with two shows booked on the tour.

While his last shows in 2023 occurred at the end of the summer with multiple-show stadium runs in the Chicago, Boston and New York City markets, the tour kicked off 14 months ago at the beginning of February. It launched with a string of 28 arena concerts in North American cities, followed by a European stadium run beginning in late April and running through July 25.

In 2023’s Year-End issue, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band ranked third on the Top 200 Worldwide Tours based on an overall gross of $379.5 million from more than 3.4 million sold tickets. With shows set in arenas, stadiums and outdoor concert sites, the tour averaged $5.7 million in grosses per show with a ticket average of 52,451.

LIVE75’s highest chart debut belongs to Riley Green who scores a top-20 appearance with a 5,723-ticket average from 10 recent arena shows on his “Ain’t My Last Rodeo Tour.” The country artist is currently touring stateside in support of his second studio album released last October. Veteran country chart-topper Tracy Lawrence and fellow Alabama native Ella Langley are supporting the tour with a performance schedule that continues through June 1. The best-attended show among the dates reported so far is Green’s Knoxville, Tennessee event at Thompson-Boling Arena at Food City Center. The Feb. 23 concert there drew a sellout crowd of 8,647 and grossed $485,045.

Returning to LIVE75 after last appearing in the March 18 issue is Disturbed, ranked No. 6 this week based on ticket sales at the three most recent U.S. dates on the band’s “Take Back Your Life Tour.” The trek’s sold-out Feb. 29 performance at Moody Center in Austin, Texas welcomed 10,030 fans, while a March 2 sellout in Phoenix at Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre logged 18,365 in attendance. Then, the next night, the band played at the Bakkt Theater at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas for another sellout crowd totaling 6,343.

Disturbed kicked off the tour one year ago in Montreal with shows booked in U.S. and Canadian cities through early September 2023. From 34 reported shows last year, the band earned $20 million at the box-office from a total of 373,614 sold tickets at arenas and outdoor amphitheaters. Since the beginning of this year, the “Take Back Your Life Tour” has brought in another $12 million in sales from 178,913 sold tickets at 22 concerts.

Texas Red Dirt/country band Treaty Oak Revival has the distinction of making the largest jump in the rankings in one week on LIVE75, moving up 10 positions to take the No. 56 slot on the chart. The group averaged 1,150 tickets per show based on box-office sales at 11 recent concerts that moved 12,657 tickets and grossed $268,463.

Floore’s Country Store in Helotes, Texas recorded the best attendance among the shows reported with 4,000 tickets sold March 22. An earlier show in Salt Lake City’s The Complex had the second-best ticket count with 2,500 sold. Then, at McMenamins Crystal Ballroom in Portland, Oregon, the group played for 1,470 fans.
