The Numbers Are In! Pink’s ‘Summer Carnival’ Passes Beyonce’s ‘Renaissance’ to Become the Second HIGHEST-GROSSING Female Tour of All Time

Published: Friday 27th Dec 2024 by Rashad

Industry analysts and music lovers alike may have been fixated on the jaw-dropping stats attached to Taylor Swift‘s ‘Eras Tour‘ as it became the first tour in history to generate over $2 billion in ticket sales, but the final figures attached to her runner-up (among women) on the all-time list is nothing to shake a stick at!

Primarily designed to promote her last album, 2023’s ‘Trustfall,’ Pop diva P!nk (born Alecia Moore) brought her globe-trotting ‘Summer Carnival Tour‘ to a close at the end of November – a stadium and arena jaunt that spanned five legs across three continents across 2023-24.

Altogether, she raked in a whopping $693.8 million in revenue generated from approximately 4.8 million tickets sold over 128 shows – a sum that narrowly places her above Beyonce‘s ‘Renaissance Tour‘ ($579.8 million across 56 shows) in history books.

And while P!nk has secured the #2 spot on the all-time highest-grossing tours among women list, she’s such a touring force that her name appears multiple times on that tally as her 2018 ‘Beautiful Trauma World Tour’ raked in a whopping $400 million by the time its final curtain descended.

Among all acts on the all-time list, Moore’s ‘Carnival Tour’ is only bested by Swift’s ‘Eras Tour’ ($2 billion), Coldplay‘s ‘Music of the Spheres Tour’ ($1.1 billion), Elton John‘s ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour’ ($939 million), Ed Sheeran‘s ‘Divide Tour’ ($776 million), Bruce Springsteen‘s 2023-25 tour ($630 million), and Harry Styles‘Love On Tour’ ($617 million).

It should be noted none of the figures above account for inflation.

Toasting the end of the ‘Carnival Tour,’ the GRAMMY-winning songstress took to social media to deliver a heartfelt farewell to the road…for now.

“131 shows. 98 cities. 15 countries. 4 million people. A lifetime of memories. This show tested me in every way; my body, mind, and soul. It’s the most physically, mentally and spiritually ambitious show I’ve ever put on. It’s been really, really hard, but every moment has been worth it for the memories we’ve created together. I know I say thank you a lot, but thank you will never be enough. Your energy, love, commitment and passion are why we do this every night. Why I leave it all out there, every time. You have created a safe space with me where we can all belong. A world where we can put down our armor and our walls and just be. Breathe. Scream. Cry. Laugh. Feel. Celebrate. Mourn. Rage,” she said on Facebook at the time. “Thank you to the old and new faces. Watching you sing with me every night sets my soul on fire. I hope I’ve done the same for you. Thank you to everyone who spent their nights with us; I’m sorry if I couldn’t make it to you this time. Thank you to my family, my team, my dancers, my band and my crew. Thank you for creating this incredible world with me. I can’t believe what we’ve done. I can’t believe it’s over. Until we meet again.”

    …….and she had to do a grueling 128 shows to pull in only $100m more than Beyonce😂

    let’s not negate that FACT😆

    the Queen remains unbothered 🐝💅

    • Diabetes UNBOTHERED December 27, 2024

      Did somebody say UNBOTHERED?

      • Chloe December 27, 2024

        P!nk and Taylor are unbothered by you guys lol 😂😂😂💓💕💞💖

  2. TGJuicée December 27, 2024

    A $114-million revenue difference places her NARROWLY above Bey?

    Narrowly? 🤔

    👀

    • Mary December 27, 2024

      with 46 more shows than the Queen , hell yes. D!nk gross should be much higher than someone who only did less than half the dates💅

      • TGJuicée December 28, 2024

        P!NK prolly charged less per ticket than the Jay-Z accomplice, who knows the end’s near and throws her name on anything to make a buck, before the scandal ruins her hubby so much, she’ll get spare change in the divorce. Smart girl for overcharging zombies to see her lip-speak and spazz on a beat in swimsuits.

      • section8DaGreat December 28, 2024

        She actually did 72 more shows than Bey!

    • So What! December 27, 2024

      I laughed when they said narrowly 😂😂😂💗💓💕🌸💞

      • TGJuicée December 28, 2024

        I mistrust subjective reporters

  3. Diabetes UNBOTHERED December 27, 2024

    Pink better enjoy it whilst it last because THE QUEEN will be surpassing both Taylor & pink with follow up next tour. The Critically acclaim of Renaissance tour is unmatched, the biggest tour in history as far as the EXPERIENCE. The Next tour will sell 10 million tickets. 🐝

    • Barbs December 27, 2024

      lol 😂. Your arrogance is gonna destroy Beyoncé’s chance. Nice try diddy.

  4. Aj December 27, 2024

    P!nk has more international appeal than Beyonce. Her shows in Australia and Europe did better than B’s.

    I have lost all respect for P!nk because despite being a UN Ambassador and supporter /champion of Unicef, she’s publicly backed BBE-NN SH-APEERO and Issrale, while failing to condemn the kil-hing of mass innocent civilians. I will never stream P!nk again or speak highly of her given her contradictions.

    • Sunshyne December 27, 2024

      A white woman appealing to pasty white crumpet’s and kangaroos color me surprised.

      • Tani December 27, 2024

        OMG!!! Agree, when you support genoc*de you need to be called out!!

      • Aj December 28, 2024

        Couldn’t agree more love.

    • Shaniqua Toprameneesha-Kochria Bonifa December 28, 2024

      I never knew she did that. I will have to give her loads of support now.

  5. Barbs December 27, 2024

    Congratulations P!nk! You are authentically true to yourself and your fans. Go girl!

  6. BadgalRiri December 27, 2024

    The beyhived are pressed lol 😂

    P!nk made approximately $700 million compared to beyonce’s $579 million. She widens her $5 million gap. This is despite P!nk being underrated. 😂😂😂😂
    Diabetes is throwing a fit.

    • Bpleaseeeee December 27, 2024

      That’s because she did over 100 dates lol if Beyonce did over 100 dates , she would be near 1 billion gross.. you haters never make any sense.

      • So What! December 27, 2024

        lol 😂 some of y’all like to talk shiiiiiitttttt about Pink and was saying before that she will never reached Beyoncé’s level or she is nobody. See now. Pink proved y’all wrong. Pink being underdog and underrated did that.

    • Bpleaseeeee December 27, 2024

      Girl stfu..Pink had to work extra hard babe! Remember that! 😘

      • So What! December 27, 2024

        There’s nothing wrong with working extra hard. She’s hard worker and not lazy like you.

      • Bpleaseeeee December 27, 2024

        Right there’s nothing wrong with working hard..some just have to work harder than others! 😘😂

  7. Taylor Swift 1989 December 27, 2024

    Congratulations P!nk! Your music is unique and good.

  8. Beyhived Unlimited December 27, 2024

    I’m protesting. I can’t accept a singer like Pink surpassed Beyoncé’s record. Something is not right.

    • Trustfall December 27, 2024

      Bye Hater!

  9. Y’all want to hate on Queen B SO BAD December 27, 2024

    Beyoncé did way more shows less than Pink, why is this even a headline??????????????????????? Therefore pink & her team had to spend more money to top Beyonce, when Beyonce & her team had to spend less money! This is not a headline byeeee it’s SIMPLE MATH

    • Taylor Swift 1989 December 27, 2024

      You’re hating on Pink. Bye!✌🏾

  10. Enrique December 27, 2024

    Beyonce did a lil tour to give blue Ivy something to do during summer break. Pink toured a whole year and a half with way more shows come now math is simple.

    • Barbs December 27, 2024

      Okay and… weee not talking about who did less number of tours. We are talking about who grossed higher. Pink defeated beyonce’ s number. No what ifs, no because of this or that and no just. Just be happy to other peoples success.

      • Enrique December 27, 2024

        The barbs talk a lot of s*** to stan a b**** that could never. Be gone roach🗣️

  11. Keri Hilson stan December 27, 2024

    Damn. P!nk ended yawnce lol. Where’s Kanye at?

  12. THINKPINK December 27, 2024

    Real talent wins again!

  13. #TheTruth December 27, 2024

    It doesn’t mean anything. The average per show should be how you calculate “the highest grossing tour”. You gotta compare what’s comparable, otherwise it doesn’t mean sh¿t.

    • Diabetes UNBOTHERED December 27, 2024

      💯 🐝

    • So What! December 27, 2024

    • So What! December 27, 2024

      • Bpleaseeeee December 28, 2024

        Girl nobody gives af about Pink! Yall bought her up in a failed attempt to troll Beyonce

      • Funhouse December 28, 2024

  15. THAMADSINGER December 27, 2024

  20. Keith December 28, 2024

    All this says to me is that there is more than enough money to keep ALL of these girls much richer than I will ever be. I imagine that they are laughing at their respective fan bases pitting them against each other.

  21. Funhouse December 29, 2024
