List of highest-grossing concert tours by Latin artists

This is a list of the highest-grossing concert tours in the Latin industry.[a] Billboard and Pollstar are two major publications that regularly provide the official figure of concerts' gross revenue worldwide. Billboard launched the boxscore ranking in 1975 through its spin-off magazine Amusement Business, and it has been also featured in the Billboard magazine itself since the issue date of October 3, 1981.[1] Pollstar began reporting the box office data since November 29, 1981.[2] However, there are many missing data in the early reporting of both publications, hence some few claims are mostly based on other non-specialist sources.
The touring industry in Latin music is dominated by male artists, with Karol G, Shakira and Jennifer Lopez being the leading female Latin artists on the list. The highest-grossing concert tour by a Latin artist belongs to Luis Miguel's Tour 2023–24.
