The Weeknd’s ‘After Hours Til Dawn’ Tour Surpasses $1 Billion and Becomes Top-Earning Tour by Male Solo Artist

The Weeknd‘s “After Hours Til Dawn” tour has surpassed $1 billion, making it the top-earning tour by a male solo artist in history.

Following the onsale of the singer-songwriter’s 2026 dates across Mexico, Brazil, Europe and the U.K., the tour has now sold over 7.5 million tickets thus far and has grossed more than $1 billion across 53 shows. The tour first launched in 2022, and it has made its way through North America twice, as well as Europe and the U.K., Latin America and Australia.

The 2025 North American stadium leg alone featured more than 40 sold-out shows, during which the Weeknd 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.

Variety‘s Chris Willman wrote in his review of the Weeknd’s SoFi Stadium show in June, “There are many Abels in the back catalog that he is mining for this 41-song show. There is the Weeknd who has self-consciously draggy stretches of material where he sings about death and self-degradation, with all the levity of a Cure album; there is the callous and cocksure ‘Starboy’ who can out-braggadocio any hip-hop star; there is the people-pleasing, woman-satisfying R&B singer who is no Starboy, just your sweet lover boy; and there’s the synth-pop revivalist who can get 50,000 people to jump in unison to tunes that sound carefree, even if they might be a little depressive under the surface. All of these Tesfayes get a good test drive during his current show, sometimes paired off into groupings that almost make it seem like there’s a narrative arc to the show, or at least some amount of thought about how to not make it all feel like a random jumble.”

From the “After Hours Til Dawn” tour, the Weeknd has donated more than $8.5 million to the XO Humanitarian Fund and Global Citizen. Additional proceeds from the 2026 run will continue to support the World Food Program Global Citizen.

The tour will continue with 40-plus added dates across Mexico, Brazil, Europe and the U.K. in 2026. Produced by Live Nation and sponsored by Nespresso, the next leg will kick off on April 20, 2026, in Mexico City.
