List of most-attended concert series at a single venue

The following is a list of the most-attended concert series at a single venue (excluding music festivals). A run of concerts at the same venue may be promoted as a standalone residency or a multi-day engagement from a larger concert tour. Both Pollstar and Billboard have defined residencies as 10 shows or more at a single location.[1] However, Billboard omits all "mini-residencies within a tour" from its rankings, favoring events that established independent names, productions and set lists.[2]

Coldplay earned the highest turnout for a multi-day engagement with their Wembley Stadium concerts in 2025
Celine Dion earned the highest turnout for a residency with her New Day... shows from 2003 to 2007

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are the earliest known acts to sell over 300,000 tickets on a multi-day engagement. They performed six concerts at Giants Stadium in 1985, drawing 396,936 attendees. Michael Jackson broke their record in 1988 and 1993, with seven outings at Wembley Stadium (504,000) and five at Estadio Azteca (550,000), respectively. Springsteen and the E Street Band returned to number one the following decade, as their second Giants Stadium run accounted for 566,560 entries across 10 dates.

In 2011, Take That gathered 623,737 people for eight shows at Wembley Stadium, becoming the new historic leaders. Coldplay eclipsed them by performing 10 times at Estadio River Plate in 2022, moving 626,841 admissions. Taylor Swift came next, reporting 753,112 spectators over eight Wembley Stadium concerts in 2024. She was the first woman to ever hold the record. A year later, Coldplay landed at the top again, with their 10 nights at the same venue registering an estimated turnout of 791,000 attendees.

Celine Dion ranks first among residency performers, selling 4.55 million tickets between the New Day... (2003–2007) and Celine (2011–2019) series. Elvis Presley's International Theater (1969–1976) run preceded her with 1.27 million people. Most tenures are based in the Las Vegas Valley because of its popularity as a tourist destination,[3] though artists such as Adele and K3 have picked different locations. Billy Joel at the Garden (2014–2024) and U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere (2023–2024) top the male soloist and group categories.
