Beyoncé Breaks SoFi Stadium Record with Five Sold-Out Shows on Cowboy Carter Tour in Inglewood

Beyoncé set a record with a five-night run at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, during her Cowboy Carter Tour from April 28 to May 9, 2025. She performed to over 217,000 fans, grossing $55.7 million, marking the highest-grossing concert engagement of the year. This achievement made her the artist with the most performances at the venue since its opening. Each nearly three-hour show featured a mix of reimagined classics and new material from her Grammy-winning album, Cowboy Carter.

A Historic Run in Los Angeles

Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour launched on April 28, 2025, with subsequent performances on May 1, 4, 7, and 9 at SoFi Stadium. The five-night engagement drew a total of 217,000 attendees, averaging more than 43,000 fans per night. According to Billboard Boxscore, the Los Angeles leg grossed $55.7 million, making it the biggest single-venue engagement of 2025 to date and the fifth-highest grossing tour stop in Boxscore history.

This achievement places Beyoncé behind only U2’s Sphere residency in Las Vegas, Harry Styles’ 15-night run at Madison Square Garden, and Take That’s eight-night stand at Wembley Stadium. Notably, Beyoncé’s average nightly gross of $11.1 million at SoFi represents a 7.6% increase over her 2023 Renaissance World Tour average of $10.35 million per show.

Most Shows Ever at SoFi Stadium

With these five performances, Beyoncé has now played a total of eight shows at SoFi Stadium—more than any other artist since the venue opened in 2020. She previously performed three sold-out shows there during her Renaissance World Tour in 2023. To commemorate the milestone, SoFi Stadium presented Beyoncé with a custom helmet and made a donation to her BeyGOOD Foundation.

The venue acknowledged the achievement on social media, posting, “Congratulations to @beyonce for the Most Overall Shows Performed by a Band or Artist at #SoFiStadium,” accompanied by a crown and bee emoji.

A Theatrical and Musical Showcase

Each night of the Cowboy Carter Tour in Los Angeles unfolded as a carefully choreographed chapter, lasting nearly three hours and featuring a dynamic blend of soul, country, and pop influences. The performances were divided into multiple acts, with a setlist that included both reimagined classics and new tracks from her 2024 album, Cowboy Carter.

The show opened with “AMERICAN REQUIEM” and “BLACKBIIRD,” followed by a rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” and fan-favorite “Freedom.” Later acts included hits like “Formation,” “Diva,” and “MY HOUSE,” as well as new songs such as “ALLIGATOR TEARS,” “JUST FOR FUN,” and “PROTECTOR.” The production featured elaborate visuals, costume changes, and guest appearances, including Beyoncé’s daughters, Blue Ivy and Rumi Carter, who joined her on stage during the opening night.

A Tour Poised for More Records

The Cowboy Carter Tour is Beyoncé’s tenth headlining concert tour and her fifth to be staged entirely in stadiums. With 32 shows scheduled through July 26, the tour is projected to gross over $300 million, potentially becoming her second-highest grossing tour after the Renaissance World Tour, which earned $580 million from 56 shows in 2023.

Following the Los Angeles shows, Beyoncé is set to perform in Chicago, New Jersey, London, Paris, Houston, and Atlanta, before concluding the tour with two final performances at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Her upcoming five-night stay at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, could rival or surpass the $55 million gross from SoFi, depending on ticket sales and pricing.

A Milestone in Career Earnings

The Cowboy Carter Tour’s opening leg has pushed Beyoncé’s career Boxscore earnings past $1.4 billion, with over 11.9 million tickets sold to date. These figures solidify her status as one of the most commercially successful touring artists of all time. The tour’s early success also underscores the enduring appeal of Beyoncé’s artistry and her ability to draw massive crowds across multiple nights in a single city.
