Four years after coming together, the ensemble known as Dead & Company are going stronger than ever, atop the Hot Tours tally (see below) dated July 20, 2019. According to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, the group added $29.8 million to its 2019 tour total with new reports for 12 shows. In all, the summer trek grossed $40.9 million and sold 486,917 tickets.

Not only does the tour top this week’s recap, Dead & Company also reign over the Current Boxscore chart with a double-header home run at Chicago’s Wrigley Field. The June 14-15 engagement grossed $7.1 million and sold 72,851 tickets.

Those earnings improve upon the band’s last performance at the same venue, when they grossed $6.4 million on June 30-July 1, 2017 (that engagement was previously Dead & Company’s biggest earner ever -- in between tours, the group notched the biggest win of their career with a four-day destination event in Mexico, which tops the 2019 mid-year Top Boxscores chart).

The second biggest engagement of the tour, a July 5-6 stint at Boulder’s Folsom Field, grossed $6.5 million, up more than 20% from its engagement at the same venue last summer.

The tour featured a fair mix of amphitheaters and stadiums, ranging in capacity from the 13,127 of Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas to 43,779 of the Boston-area Gillette Stadium. In total, the band played six stadium shows and 13 dates in amphitheaters.

The final $40 million-plus total makes it Dead & Company’s biggest tour yet, up 16% over 2018’s $35.2 million gross. Having toured consistently since its 2015 debut, the band has grossed $205.5 million and sold 2.18 million tickets across 120 reported shows.
