Rüfüs Du Sol's Inhale/Exhale Tour Sold 1.7 Million Tickets, Billboard Boxscore Reports

Rüfüs Du Sol's Inhale/Exhale world tour sold 1.7 million tickets and grossed $158 million (US dollars), according to Billboard Boxscore, the tally that tracks concert ticket sales and takings. Billboard reported the figures on 29 October 2026. Billboard Boxscore also describes the run as the highest-grossing and bestselling electronic tour of all time.

The Australian trio played 98 headlining shows over two years, plus festival dates. The tour ended when the band headlined Austin City Limits, the long-running festival in Texas. The band's official website lists the tour's name as coming from Inhale / Exhale, the band's fifth album, which it shows as out now.

Much of the tour's look came from a camera operator who was standing on stage. Leah Barylsky is the band's camerawoman and motion director. According to Billboard, she was onstage for 10 to 13 songs per show, roughly half of each performance. Her onstage camera fed a live picture to giant LED screens on each side of the stage. Those screens, known as IMAG (short for image magnification), let people at the back of a large venue see the performers up close.

Inhale/Exhale was the first Rüfüs Du Sol tour to use IMAG screens. For Barylsky, the job is an old one in new surroundings. She grew up in Hawaii, filming weddings and local concerts. She moved to Los Angeles in 2017.

Her path to the band began through a mutual friend. She met Tyrone Lindqvist, Jon George and James Hunt while they were writing their 2018 album, Solace. That same year she directed the video for the band's song "No Place." She then toured with the band for Solace and for the 2021 album Surrender.

Ticket counts and grosses are easy to read past. Each of those 1.7 million tickets was bought by a person, and each night on the road needed a crew to light, film and project the show. The band's official online shop listed an Inhale / Exhale Black Tour Tee at a regular price of $45.00 as sold out. Behind the numbers is a long run of nights in a lot of different cities, and a camera that stayed on stage for half of each one.
