Global superstar The Weeknd has officially rewritten the record books. His monumental After Hours Til Dawn Tour has now become the highest-earning male solo artist tour in history, surpassing $1 billion in revenue across 153 shows and selling more than 7.5 million tickets worldwide.
Following the launch of the 2026 tour dates across Mexico, Brazil, Europe and the UK, demand has only intensified — reinforcing The Weeknd’s place as one of the most dominant forces in modern music.
A Global Phenomenon in Touring
First launched in 2022, After Hours Til Dawn has travelled through North America, Europe, the UK, Latin America, and Australia. Beyond record sales, the tour’s cultural footprint has become impossible to ignore.
The 2025 North American stadium leg alone delivered more than 40 sold-out shows, breaking venue records across major cities:
-
Became the top-grossing Black male artist in the history of venues in New York, Denver, Santa Clara, Seattle, Edmonton, Montreal, Orlando, Arlington and Houston.
-
Set attendance records for an R&B male artist in Boston, Denver, Edmonton and Orlando.
-
Broke Toronto’s Rogers Centre’s all-time record for most shows by a male solo artist on a single tour, with six performances.
-
Set a new record at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium for most shows by a male solo artist.
-
Sold more tickets in Texas than any other artist in 2025.
With its colossal scale, boundary-pushing production and chart-dominating setlist, the tour has redefined what stadium shows can achieve.

Philanthropy sits at the heart of After Hours Til Dawn. To date, The Weeknd has donated over $8.5 million to the XO Humanitarian Fund and Global Citizen, with additional proceeds from 2026 dates pledged to the World Food Programme through Global Citizen initiatives.
