This Week’s Top Tours: Tyler Childers Repeats At No. 1 On LIVE 75

Tyler Childers appears at No. 1 on LIVE75 for a second week after ticket sales were reported for the first seven concerts of his “On The Road” tour, booked in U.S. cities through mid-October. The country singer began his headlining trek with a sold-out New Orleans performance for 12,109 fans at Smoothie King Center on April 3, followed by sellouts in three more arenas.

Simmons Bank Arena in North Little Rock, Arkansas; Oklahoma City’s Paycom Center and Target Center in Minneapolis each hosted the artist during the opening week of the tour, moving a total of 51,057 tickets at all four venues.

He also sold out the first of three stadiums included on the tour, including a performance at Kroger Field in Lexington, Kentucky, on April 19. His concert there welcomed a home state crowd of 41,858 and logged a gross of $4.52 million. Later this fall, during the final weeks of the U.S. tour, he will also appear for two-night engagements at stadiums in New York City and Nashville.

With 128,062 tickets sold at the first seven concerts, his 18,294-ticket average per show has earned the No. 1 ranking on the chart for the past two weeks. Likewise, his combined gross of $12.73 million, averaging over $1.8 million per night, also remains the highest among the 75 touring artists on the chart.

Last year, Childers racked up a gross of $45 million from 34 reported shows in North America during his “Mule Pull ’24 Tour” from March through August, averaging $1.32 million per night. With over half a million tickets sold on the tour, he averaged 15,298 tickets per concert. Like the current tour, last year’s trek mainly featured amphitheater and arena dates but also included two stadium shows. He played Boulder, Colorado’s Folsom Field and ended the 2024 trek with a finale at Washington-Grizzly Stadium in Missoula, Montana.

LIVE75’s “Hot Shot” performer with the highest ranked debut is regional Mexican artist Ivan Cornejo, who scores the third position on the chart with a sold-ticket average of 10,499 from three shows on his “Miranda Tour.” Two of his concerts were back-to-back performances at Chicago’s United Center, April 26-27, with a total of 25,260 tickets sold and a boxoffice take of $2.58 million. Then, his third reported show was an April 29 event at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Panther Arena that grossed $546,251 from 6,238 sold seats.

Cornejo also toured throughout the U.S. last fall, again playing arenas, sheds and theaters, and averaged 6,483 sold tickets per show, based on 14 reported concerts. His top attendance was recorded at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas, with 13,420 tickets sold in September.

On the Artist Power Index, Guns N’ Roses has the top debut following the launch of the band’s “Because What You Want & What You Get Are Two Completely Different Things Tour” on May 1. The trek kicked off with an outdoor performance at Songdo Moonlight Festival Park in Incheon, South Korea, before heading to Yokohama, Japan’s K-Arena for the second show on May 5. On the strength of attendance potential from those first two dates alone, the group earns the No. 20 position on the chart. The tour is booked in Asia and Europe through July, primarily planned at stadiums and outdoor concert sites.

Billie Eilish holds on to the No. 1 ranking on the Artist Power Index for a second week based on nine performances at the first five venues booked on her world tour’s 14-week European leg. After playing two nights at Stockholm’s Avicii Arena, she followed with arena dates in Norway, Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands.
