Pollstar’s year end chart credits Live ‘25 with over $405 million in grosses. The figure covers 36 of the tour’s 41 shows, those falling inside the chart year. It places Oasis at No.2 worldwide for 2025.

Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour took the top spot, just ahead. Pollstar put her gross at about $407.6 million for the year. The gap between first and second place came to roughly two million dollars, a rounding error at this level.

That said, the chart year cut the finished tour in two. Five of the 41 shows fell outside Pollstar’s counting window, late in the run. Counted across every show, the real gross sits higher than the headline figure.

Oasis sold 2,228,471 tickets across the chart period. That total beats Beyoncé’s 1,596,165 tickets by about 630,000. The band played the bigger rooms and the longer stands, and fans filled every single one.

Divide Pollstar’s gross by those 36 charted shows and each night averaged about $11 million. Few tours in history sustain that average across a whole run. Stadium scale, repeated across five continents, did the heavy lifting.

Still, second place understates the drawing power on show. Oasis reached it while selling far more tickets at lower average prices than the leader. Promoters measure drawing power in seats filled, and Oasis filled the most seats of all.

The sale itself set the tone a year earlier. Ticketmaster logged 10 million people inside its queues at the peak. Fans from 158 countries chased 1.4 million UK and Ireland tickets, and the system strained under the weight.

The 2024 sale became a national story in its own right. Queues stretched for hours, prices confused buyers, and the CMA opened an investigation afterward. Live ‘27 answered with a ballot, fixed prices and no general sale at all.

Across the industry, promoters read the chart as a rewritten playbook. A band absent for sixteen years outdrew every active stadium act bar one. The lesson travels straight into Live ‘27 routing, pricing and venue choices worldwide.

What the numbers say about Live ‘27

Promoters also cited an estimated £1 billion generated for the UK economy. The band’s announcement carried that estimate when the reunion launched. Travel, hotels and hospitality spending across the tour cities drove the figure.

For context, the reunion started as a genuine risk. The brothers had not shared a stage since the 2009 split in Paris. Promoters booked stadiums anyway, and the public answered within hours of the announcement.

Meanwhile, Live ‘27 now carries the weight of those numbers. The new tour runs 42 shows across 11 cities and eight countries. Every show sold out during the September 2026 ballot, before a single poster reached a wall.

Our tour revenue page models combined venue capacity for Live ‘27 at roughly 2.9 million fans. The estimate uses each stadium’s concert capacity across all 42 nights. Live ‘25 sold 2.2 million tickets, so the model tracks the demand the band already proved.

The run proved the model far beyond Britain and Ireland. Stadiums sold out from Cardiff to São Paulo across the whole routing. Promoters rarely watch one act hold demand across that many time zones at once.

On the practical side, scarcity shapes every decision a ticketless fan makes. Fans who missed out should follow official resale at face value only. Our Oasis tickets page tracks the safe routes, and ticket prices sets out what fans originally paid.

British fans read the chart as a hometown result. Long home stands across Britain and Ireland powered the total through the summer of 2025.

Beyond that, promoters abroad matched that demand on every continent the tour visited afterwards. The figures hand Live ‘27 a public target to chase.

The Oasis lineup page profiles the band behind the numbers. Six musicians turned a fourteen year feud into the second biggest tour on earth. Pollstar’s chart simply wrote the story in figures.
