Pollstar’s 2024 Year-End Hub: Taylor Swift, Coldplay Top Charts, Year In Review, Survey & Way More

Welcome to Pollstar‘s biggest-ever Year End Special Issue. With our final data-crunching for the chart year complete, indications for the top of the market are that 2024 was a strong, stable and impressive year. Total grosses for the Top 100 Worldwide Tours set a new record, though the growth was not as dramatic as 2022 or 2023.

This year also saw history in the making: the two biggest tours of all time were out simultaneously: Taylor Swift’s juggernaut “The Eras Tour” set the all-time highest gross for a tour at more than $2 billion; while Coldplay’s “Music Of The Spheres Tour” played before more fans than any tour in history, selling an astronomical 10.3 million tickets. We are thrilled to have Coldplay on the cover of our 2024 Year End Special.

In addition to our industry-leading charts, this special issue features a look at the year through the lenses of clubs, agencies, festivals, ticketing, sustainability, cancellations, comedy, country, Latin, the rise of women pop stars and more. Here, too, is an executive survey with leaders of this industry.
