State Farm Arena is officially one of the most popular event venues in the country and worldwide.
According to a press release, Billboard ranked the arena third nationally and fifth globally in its list of top venues in the Billboard Boxscore’s Midyear 2025 Report. The list includes venues with capacities of 15,001 or more, excluding stadiums. State Farm also ranked third in the nation in terms of ticket sales, behind the Sphere in Las Vegas and Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Pollstar, a trade publication for the live music industry, also listed the arena among its top ten venues globally, placing it eighth so far this year.
According to the release, since the start of 2025 State Farm Arena has hosted nearly 600,000 fans across 46 various events. The arena has featured big music stars such as Rauw Alejandro, J Balvin, Blake Shelton, Deftones, Kylie Minogue, Pearl Jam, and Tyler, the Creator. The arena has also hosted various other popular shows, including the Ringling Bros. Circus, Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Live, and WWE Monday Night RAW.
Sporting events also bring spectators to the arena. This year, State Farm held NCAA March Madness games, and sold out the arena for the Atlanta Dream vs. Indiana Fever WNBA game.
State Farm has a packed year ahead, with performances from Dua Lipa, Ice Cube, Reneé Rapp, Lil Wayne, Katy Perry, Maroon 5, and others.
