The Weeknd’s After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour Becomes All-Time Highest-Grossing Tour by a Male Artist

November 7, 2026

The Weeknd has formally concluded his groundbreaking After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour, establishing a record as the highest-grossing tour ever by a male artist with earnings surpassing $1.3 billion USD.

The four-year global trek wrapped up on 5 November 2026 with its concluding performance at TM Stadium National in Kuala Lumpur.

The closing leg in Asia consisted of 17 sold-out performances, including three consecutive evenings in Bangkok and four nights at Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong.

Since its debut in July 2022, the tour encompassed 176 shows across 67 cities, 30 countries, and five continents, moving over 9 million tickets globally.

The run retained strong commercial momentum into its closing year, moving over 3 million tickets and generating more than $500 million in 2026 alone.

Throughout the journey, the Canadian megastar shattered venue records worldwide. He attracted more than 450,000 spectators across seven stadium dates in the United Kingdom in 2026, became the first artist to sell out six consecutive nights at Paris’s Stade de France within a single tour, set a SoFi Stadium benchmark in Los Angeles for the most performances by a male artist, and rose as the top-selling international male solo artist in Hong Kong.

Beyond ticket revenue, the tour generated $8.5 million for the XO Humanitarian Fund and Global Citizen to tackle global hunger and expand educational opportunities for children, with $3 million raised in 2026 for the United Nations World Food Programme and related Global Citizen initiatives.

As the Asian chapter came to a close, The Weeknd astonished fans on 31 October by releasing ‘Hong Kong,’ a collaboration with Cantopop icon Faye Wong. The track shattered streaming records in China, recording the largest first-day debut for a non-Mandarin song in five years on NetEase Cloud Music and the highest-ever debut for a Western male artist on QQ Music.
