Chris Brown’s “Breezy Bowl XX Tour” took in more than $298 million, selling 2.06 million tickets in just four months of 2025. Brown surpassed globally popular touring acts like Imagine Dragons, Lady Gaga and Post Malone to land at No. 7 on Pollstar’s list of top-grossing tours of the year.

Pollstar reported in late October a number of milestones when “The Breezy Bowl XX Tour” ended. Brown achieved the highest live score of any performer appearing on the Artist Power Index chart. He also topped the LIVE75 chart four times between June and October, earned the “Heavy Hitter” tag five times for having the highest grossing tour average and became the first artist to sell out three nights at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., moving
a record-breaking 121,192 tickets.

Jhené Aiko and Bryson Tiller helped Brown close out the “Breezy Bowl XX Tour” on Oct. 16 with a sold-out concert at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans that grossed over $7 million. Aiko and Tiller also opened for Brown on various other tour stops, while Summer Walker opened for Brown on select dates earlier in the tour.

“Breezy Bowl XX” had an average audience capacity of 100%, with just two stops reporting 96% and 98%, respectively, and the average ticket price was $144.73.

“It’s a testament to not only his talent, but the fan base that supports this man,” says Tone Lopez, whose HansTolo Enterprises provided tour management for “Breezy Bowl.” “It’s just good to see in his own world what he’s accomplishing, especially when the industry turned their backs on him. He just stayed persistent, kept loyal to his fan base and his craft. And it’s just paying off for him. I think everybody in his circle is extremely happy for him.

“He’s crushing it,” Lopez continues. “I mean, people doubted it. I think there were only a couple of people that really believed in it besides himself. Some people were like, ‘Are you sure this is going to do well?’ I’m talking about people within the Live Nation system that believe in him, that work with him, and were like, “Yeah, this is going to work.’ They know who they are. I think it’s just good to see what that did. We had just toured the U.S., I don’t think it was a full year, and then he went in the stadiums and did that [in 2025] — that’s special. And really, really cool to be a part of to see it.”

Lopez notes that the crowd skewed female under 30, and there were also a lot of mothers taking their young dancing kids, who looked like they aspired to be performers. During the tour, Lopez and his business partner Raphiki Rhodes told each other that to witness so many kids trying to dance like Brown, they felt like they were on the legendary Jacksons’ “Victory Tour” or the late Michael Jackson’s “Bad Tour.”

“That’s what I equated that to,” says Lopez. “Like, man, imagine somebody that was on that tour back then. This is exactly what this is. I know he doesn’t throw that out a lot because he respects what Mike has done. He wants to create his own accomplishments. But he’s the modern-day version of that, to be honest with you, from talent to singing to performing, everything. Dude’s just amazingly talented. I think if he wasn’t singing, he’d probably be playing basketball in the NBA or playing corner in the NFL or something.”

Lopez says HansTolo is ready if Brown wants to do more shows in 2026.

“None of us are tired. We’re ready to keep going with him as long as he’s ready to go. We’ll see with 2026. He’s not a guy that likes to sit still.”
