\n\tWho doesn\u2019t love a long Weeknd<\/a>? The international superstar\u2019s After Hours Til Dawn Tour has become one of the biggest global treks ever, appearing in the top 10 of Billboard<\/em>\u2019s annual top tours chart for three of the last four years. But after reaching new heights last year, 2026 will be its biggest yet, generating another $440 million in ticket sales with more than 3 million fans in attendance.<\/p>\n

\n\tLast year, The Weeknd set R&B records<\/a> as the After Hours Til Dawn Tour became the highest-grossing and best-selling tour in the genre\u2019s history, knocking Beyonc\u00e9<\/a> and Bruno Mars<\/a> off their long-held perches. But with this year\u2019s brief stint in Latin America, more than 40 shows across Europe and a final run of 17 dates in Asia, it transcends genre altogether to become the highest-grossing tour in Boxscore history by a solo male artist.<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, The Weeknd\u2019s world tour has grossed $735.8 million and sold 5.8 million tickets since launching in 2022, current through his May 1 performance in S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil. According to the tour\u2019s promoter Live Nation and The Weeknd\u2019s agency CAA, the remaining 59 shows push the trek\u2019s total take well beyond $1 billion, joining tours by Coldplay<\/a> and Taylor Swift<\/a> in the exclusive 10-figure club.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Weeknd kicked off the 2026 UK\/Europe leg of the tour last night (June 11) at Manchester\u2019s Etihad Stadium. He plays there again tonight before embarking on multi-night runs in Copenhagen, Madrid, Milan, Paris, Stockholm and more, including five shows at London\u2019s Wembley Stadium in August. It\u2019s the tour\u2019s second trip to the continent, after 30 shows that collectively grossed $158.1 million and sold 1.6 million tickets in 2023. This summer\u2019s run could approach double those earnings.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe tour\u2019s final leg will mark The Weeknd\u2019s first shows in Asia since a brief dedicated run in 2018. This time, he\u2019ll play more than two times the number of shows, and, to match the tour\u2019s other 159 dates around the world, elevate from arenas to stadiums.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs part of The Weeknd\u2019s 2026 tour, he is partnering with Global Citizen and the United Nations World Food Programme, donating \u20ac1 from each ticket sold at all shows across Europe and \u00a31 across shows in the United Kingdom to the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund and XO Humanitarian Fund, respectively.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe After Hours Til Dawn Tour has evolved since its 2022 kick-off, then in support of After Hours<\/em> and Dawn FM<\/em>, the first two albums of a promised trilogy. In the immediate wake of record-breaking<\/a> Billboard Hot 100<\/a> No. 1 singles like \u201cBlinding Lights\u201d and \u201cSave Your Tears,\u201d he placed two songs on the chart\u2019s 2023 year-end roundup with \u201cCreepin,\u201d with Metro Boomin<\/a> and 21 Savage<\/a>, and \u201cDie For You,\u201d alongside Ariana Grande<\/a>. He rounded out the trilogy with 2025\u2019s Wake Up Tomorrow<\/em> as his fifth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200<\/a>, expanding the tour\u2019s setlist to the scope of his entire career.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
