For the first half of the 2026 chart year, one woman was there each step of the way, playing one show after another — no sleep, bus, arena, another arena, stadium, plane, next place, etc. — until she came out on top. Lady Gaga leads the midyear Top Tours chart with record-breaking earnings for The Mayhem Ball.
According to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, Gaga grossed $236.2 million and sold 1.2 million tickets during the midyear period, spanning Oct. 1, 2025, through March 31. That makes it the highest grossing tour of the six-month window, finishing 3% ahead of Bad Bunny. Further, it’s the biggest midyear gross in Boxscore history (dating to 1991), outpacing U2’s Sphere stint ($231.6 million) from two years ago.
