K-Pop tours are back in full swing now after a period of time without them due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and it seems like they’re more successful than ever! Dozens of artists went on tours to multiple countries in 2023, holding events in both smaller venues as well as giant stadiums. Recently, Billboard shared the data that was reported to Billboard Boxscore in order to determine which K-Pop artists had the highest-grossing tours from November 1, 2022 until September 30, 2023. Some of the tour dates aren’t included in the data, potentially due to a lack of reporting, but here are the 10 highest-grossing K-Pop tours from the past year according to Billboard! Some even made it into the “Top 100” highest-grossing tours regardless of genre.
