The Weeknd's After Hours Til Dawn Tour Grosses Over $1.3 Billion

By Miles Carter, November 10, 2026

The Weeknd's After Hours Til Dawn Tour is now the highest-grossing tour ever by a male artist, promoter Live Nation confirmed to Billboard Canada on Nov 6, 2026. The run grossed more than $1.3 billion and sold 9 million tickets across 176 shows, Billboard Canada reported.

The tour closed at TM Stadium Nasional in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, capping a stadium run that began in July 2022 and reached 67 cities in 30 countries on five continents, according to the official tour announcement dated Nov 5, 2026.

Where it lands

The previous male record belonged to Elton John's Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour at $939 million, per Billboard Canada. Only two tours have grossed more overall, Billboard Canada reported: Coldplay's Music of the Spheres at $1.52 billion and Taylor Swift's Eras Tour at $2 billion.

The tour grossed more than $500 million and sold more than 3 million tickets in 2026 alone, the announcement said, and it topped Billboard's monthly Boxscore chart in July with more than $120 million and nearly 900,000 tickets.

For scale

Ye's rep put his Nov 7, 2026 show at AT&T Stadium at more than $18 million for a single night, Variety reported. The Weeknd's total came from 176 shows over four years, all on one tour.

The run also raised money. The Weeknd has donated $8.5 million to the XO Humanitarian Fund and Global Citizen over the course of the tour, according to the announcement.

The last stretch kept stacking marks. The Asia leg grew from 11 announced dates to 17 shows, Toronto's Rogers Centre hosted six shows, a venue record for a male solo artist on one tour, and four sold-out nights in Hong Kong made The Weeknd the highest-selling international male solo artist there with nearly 200,000 tickets, the announcement said.
