Nate Bargatze Breaks Delta Center Attendance Records During Big Dumb Eyes Tour

SALT LAKE CITY (December 17, 2025) – Earlier this month, Nate Bargatze set a new benchmark at the Delta Center, becoming the arena’s highest-attended comedy act after performing four back-to-back shows that drew more than 56,500 fans. The stop on the Big Dumb Eyes tour also became the second-highest-attended event in Delta Center history, surpassed only by Garth Brooks in 2015.

A two-time Grammy- and Emmy-nominated comedian, New York Times #1 bestselling author, podcaster, director, and producer, Bargatze continues to dominate the global comedy landscape. Pollstar’s latest report ranks him as the #1 highest-earning comedian in the world and #12 in overall live tour ticket sales.

Bargatze’s momentum remains unmatched. Currently on his 2025 Big Dumb Eyes tour, he is continuing to shatter attendance and ticket sales records across the country. In 2024 alone, Bargatze broke 20 arena records nationwide, including a previous attendance milestone at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City.
