Jason Aldean heads up the weekly listing of Hot Tours with the first box office stats reported from his We Were Here tour that kicked off on Jan. 14. The first leg of the tour ran for six weeks, hitting 18 cities in the U.S. through the end of February with Thomas Rhett and A Thousand Horses as show openers.
The highest-grossing performance during the opening dates was the last show on the schedule, a sold out performance at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. on Feb. 27. Sales totaled $778,363 from 12,543 sold seats at the 87-year-old arena. Omaha, Neb. produced the largest crowd, though, with 12,717 fans in the house for a Jan. 22 concert at the CenturyLink Center. So far on the tour, Aldean has performed 19 shows at 18 arenas in the U.S., racking up $9.3 million in revenue from more than 172,000 sold tickets.

The We Were Here trek follows the country star’s Burn It Down tour that ran for a year-and-a-half in support of his October 2014 release, Old Boots, New Dirt. That solo headlining run, attended by more than 1.5 million fans, wrapped last October with an overall gross of $69.9 million earned at 100 concerts. Aldean also co-headlined with Kenny Chesney at 10 stadiums last summer grossing $59.7 million from 12 performances.
Bruce Springsteen appears on the Hot Tours recap for the second consecutive week based on reported box office stats from his River tour that is currently on the road in North American markets through the end of April. Sold out concerts in four venues give the rock legend the No. 2 slot in the tally with $8.9 million in sold ticket revenue. Since kicking off his River tour with the E Street Band on Jan. 16, Springsteen’s overall gross at 18 performances now totals $39.5 million from 312,382 sold tickets.
Carrie Underwood’s third place ranking comes from $4.3 million earned at the final five performances of her Storyteller tour’s opening leg in the U.S. during February. Although she is currently on a brief five-city swing through Europe, she is set to kick off the tour’s second North American run on March 17. The jaunt through 32 cities will wrap in Canada at the end of May.
