The Weeknd’s ‘After Hours’ tour crosses $1 billion grossed

Save your tears for The Weeknd — he’s doing pretty well for himself.

The “Blinding Lights” hitmaker has shattered records with his bombastic “After Hours Til Dawn” tour, which has taken the throne as the top-earning tour ever by a male solo artist.

Including sales figures for his upcoming 2026 dates across Mexico, Brazil, Europe and the UK, the tour has now sold more than 7.5 million tickets and grossed over $1 billion across 153 dates.

The tour launched in 2022 and has made its way through North America (twice), Europe, the UK, Latin America and Australia.

In 2023, the Guinness Book of World Records named the star “The Most Popular Artist in the World,” while his single “Blinding Lights” went RIAA-certified Diamond and was named the new No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 song of all time, surpassing Chubby Checker’s 1960 hit “The Twist.”

The only tours surpassing the R&B crooner’s achievement are Coldplay’s $1.5 billion “Music of the Spheres” tour and Taylor Swift’s $2 billion “Eras Tour.”

The Weeknd’s also donating over $8.5 million to the XO Humanitarian Fund and Global Citizen, with additional proceeds from the 2026 run set to continue supporting World Food Program Global Citizen.

Fans will also have the opportunity to earn one pair of free tickets to each tour date via Global Citizen.

Produced by Live Nation and sponsored by Nespresso, the next leg will kick off on April 20 in Mexico City, and include stops in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paris, Amsterdam, Milan, London, Madrid and more.
