Morgan Wallen's Tour Set to Become the Highest-Grossing of 2026

Morgan Wallen's 2026 Still the Problem Tour isn't even going all year long, but it still might be the highest-grossing concert tour of the year — by a lot.

This week, Hits Daily Double reported that Wallen's tour could gross about $500 million when all is said and done, according to rough and early estimates. The Still the Problem Tour began in April, and it'll put 23 dates in the books by the time it wraps on Aug. 1.

Even before the trek kicked off, we knew that Wallen's 2026 tour dates were likely to smash attendance records in multiple cities. But if Hits' estimate is anywhere even close to accurate, Wallen will bank the highest-grossing tour of the year so far, in any genre, by hundreds of millions of dollars.

What Are the Highest-Grossing Concerts of 2026 So Far?

According to Pollstar touring data for 2026, Bad Bunny was No. 1 on the mid-year list for top touring artists.

Here's the full top 10, courtesy of our friends at Ultimate Classic Rock:

Morgan Wallen is the biggest act in country music right now, and one of the most popular musicians in the world bar none.

His tours are especially well-known because of his celebrity walk-out tradition, and he's got some of the hottest country acts on the market opening his shows.
