Dickies Arena was recently named one of the best concert venues in the world.

The Fort Worth arena reigned supreme as the top venue in North America for facilities with a capacity between 10,001 and 15,000, according to Billboard Magazine. In the world rankings, Dickies took second place to OVO Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland.

Dickies Arena scored a total gross of $39,919,226; attendance of 610,910 and 79 shows between Nov. 1, 2022, and April 1, 2023.

Only OVO Hydro had a higher total gross ($41 million) and attendance (640,000) than Dickies Arena, but the Fort Worth venue held more shows.

Following Dickies, the only other American arenas on the top 10 venues in the world with a capacity of 10,001 to 15,000, were the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas at No. 7 and Acrisure Arena in Riverside, California, at No. 9.

Dickies Arena opened in November 2019 and the first concert held at the venue was Twenty One Pilots. Since then, the venue has hosted a plethora of events, including a Kid Rock concert over the weekend.
