List of most-attended concert series at a single venue

The following is a list of the most-attended concert series at a single venue (excluding music festivals). A run of concerts at the same venue may be promoted as a standalone residency or a multi-day engagement from a larger concert tour. Both Pollstar and Billboard have defined residencies as 10 shows or more at a single location.[1] However, Billboard omits all "mini-residencies within a tour" from its rankings, favoring events that established independent names, productions and set lists.[2]
