Rap’s touring business hit new highs in 2025.
The genre accounted for 7.7% of the Top 100 tours, generating $693.4M from six acts on Billboard’s all-genre Boxscore chart. At the top, Kendrick Lamar dominated with his ‘Grand National Tour,’ followed by Tyler, The Creator’s global ‘Chromakopia’ run.
The rest of the top 10 underscored rap’s depth and range, from Travis Scott’s ongoing ‘Circus Maximus’ momentum to legacy acts like Wu-Tang Clan and cross-generational draws like Nelly, alongside newer stars including Central Cee, Don Toliver, and YoungBoy Never Broke Again.
