Top Tours: Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band Hit Live75 With US Tour Launch

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band make their first appearance on LIVE75 since launching the “Land of Hope and Dreams American Tour,” booked in U.S. cities this spring. Ranked No. 3 based on ticket sales reported from the first six performances, the tour is set to play 19 arenas and one stadium in 15 American markets this year. The eight-week trek kicked off with a concert on March 31 at Target Center in Minneapolis.

At the tour’s opening night performance, along with shows at arenas in Portland, San Francisco and Phoenix as well as two concerts in the Los Angeles market, the total number of sold tickets reached 96,479 for an average of 16,079 per show. Also, grosses from the six sellouts totaled $22.7 million for an average of $3.8 million each night.

Attendance at the Minneapolis opener totaled 17,195, but the second stop on the tour topped that number by 700 tickets. Portland’s Moda Center welcomed 17,895 fans on April 3, securing the highest ticket count for one performance at any of the first five venues. Next was a two-night engagement at Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, with 31,043 tickets sold April 7 and 9, followed by an April 13 performance at Chase Center in San Francisco with 16,443 in attendance. Then, the sixth performance on April 13 at Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix drew a crowd of 13,903.

Springsteen’s most recent tour with The E Street Band spanned almost two-and-a-half years and wrapped last summer with a 129-show gross of $718 million from 4.9 million sold tickets. It began with a performance on Feb. 1, 2023, at Tampa, Florida’s Amalie Arena (now Benchmark International Arena) and completed its run with a stadium event at San Siro in Milan, Italy on July 3, 2025. The final performance on the current U.S. tour will also be in a stadium. The finale will be held at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. on May 27.

The No. 1 ranking on LIVE75 belongs to Luke Combs, who also debuts on the chart based on the first reported ticket sales figures from his 2026 tour. His “My Kinda Saturday Night Tour” kicked off on March 21 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas with a sellout crowd of 66,250 in attendance. Sold-out stadium concerts on two university campuses followed, beginning with an April 4 show at Scott Stadium at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville that drew 61,480 fans. Then, 59,924 tickets were sold on April 11 at Iowa State University’s Jack Trice Stadium in Ames.

Combs’ ticket tally from all three shows was 187,654 for an average of 62,551 per concert, which securely scores the top chart ranking, as the country star is the only one of the 75 touring headliners on the chart with an all-stadium tour currently on the road. Stadium-sized grosses also earn him “Heavy Hitter” status as the artist with the largest gross average. He racked up $24 million at the first three shows for a per-show average just under $8 million.

The tour is currently playing North American cities and will end with a two-night run at Toronto’s Rogers Stadium in June. Then beginning in July, Combs will take his tour to Europe for a run of 10 shows in five countries. Among his scheduled shows are two-night engagements in Ireland and Scotland, followed by a three-show tour finale at Wembley Stadium in London, July 31-Aug. 2.

Elsewhere on the Pollstar charts, Bruno Mars repeats at No. 1 on the Artist Power Index based on his own return to the road with a new tour. His stadium trek, “The Romantic Tour,” is booked in North American cities through May and in Europe through July. Then, Bad Bunny retains his hold at No. 1 on Global Concert Pulse, based on grosses reported from his “Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour” that will resume in Europe next month. His 10-show gross average over the past 90 days totals $8.2 million per concert.
