With $3.1 million from 31,000 tickets sold over four concerts, X @burnaboy’s “No Sign of Weakness” tour is now the highest-grossing tour by an African artist in Oceania’s history, according to Touring Data, a worldwide tour tracking tool.
At the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia, he reached the milestone with a single gig that brought in $1.117 million.
The “No Sign of Weakness” tour included 20 performances in North America, Europe, and Oceania.
