The tour supports "No Sign of Weakness," the Grammy winner's eighth studio album, released in July 2025. It has taken him to arenas in Australia, the U.S. and Canada.
$6 million from North America
The North American leg accounts for about $5.96 million and 70,355 tickets from 13 reported shows at 12 venues, Touring Data's figures show. It opened at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, on Nov. 12, 2025, and closed with two nights at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto on Dec. 17 and 18.
The Toronto shows were the biggest earners, grossing $1.2 million from 13,227 tickets. Capital One Arena in Washington was next at $792,493, followed by UBS Arena at Belmont Park, New York, at $727,668. The New York date sold 90% of its seats, the strongest rate in North America.
The Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, took $622,557 and the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, $464,509. Montreal's Bell Centre grossed $384,423, Seattle's Climate Pledge Arena $357,633 and the American Airlines Center in Dallas $330,346.
Some stops were well short of capacity. Red Rocks sold 35% of its tickets for a gross of $211,116, and Oakland Arena sold 37%, though it had the highest average price in North America at about $122. Houston's Toyota Center filled 44% of its seats for $263,243, and Atlanta's State Farm Arena grossed $290,714 from 5,145 tickets.
Across the North American shows, Burna Boy filled about 60% of the roughly 117,000 seats on offer.
Record nights in Australia
The four-show Oceania leg in October 2025 grossed about $3.12 million from 30,946 tickets, at an average of $100.94, the highest of the tour. The Sydney show at Qudos Bank Arena took $1.12 million, making Burna Boy the first African artist to gross more than $1 million from a single concert in the region.
The leg was the highest-grossing tour by an African artist in Oceania, according to Touring Data.
The four shows not yet reported are in Minneapolis, Chicago, Boston and Orlando.
A touring record holder
Burna Boy's previous North American run, the I Told Them tour, grossed about $11.66 million from about 124,706 tickets across 16 cities in 2024, by Touring Data's count. It included a $1.59 million night at Boston's TD Garden in March 2024, the highest gross for a single arena concert by an African artist in the U.S.
Burna Boy, born Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu in Port Harcourt, is among Africa's highest-earning musicians. He won the Grammy for best global music album in 2021 for "Twice as Tall" and in 2023 became the first African artist to headline a U.K. stadium, at London Stadium.
