The Weeknd's After Hours Til Dawn Tour Projected to Exceed $1 Billion, Adds 2026 Dates
The Weeknd's 'After Hours Til Dawn Tour' is projected to add $440 million in ticket sales and 3 million attendees by 2026, pushing its total gross beyond $1 billion. This achievement would place it among the highest-grossing tours ever, joining exclusive company with acts like Coldplay and Taylor Swift. The tour has already set records, becoming the highest-grossing R&B and solo male artist tour in Boxscore history.
The Weeknd's 'After Hours Til Dawn Tour' is set to significantly expand its financial and audience reach, with projections indicating an additional $440 million in ticket sales and 3 million fans by 2026. This surge is expected to elevate the tour's total earnings past $1 billion, an milestone achieved by only a select few tours globally.
Since its inception in 2022, the tour has already grossed $735.8 million and sold 5.8 million tickets as of May 1, through a performance in São Paulo, Brazil. The upcoming 59 shows are anticipated to contribute to the tour's record-breaking trajectory.
The 'After Hours Til Dawn Tour' has cemented its place in music history, previously becoming the highest-grossing and best-selling R&B tour. With its current and future legs, it has also become the highest-grossing tour by a solo male artist in Boxscore history.
The tour recently resumed its UK/Europe leg on June 11 in Manchester, with additional multi-night runs scheduled for cities including Copenhagen, Madrid, Milan, Paris, Stockholm, and five shows at London's Wembley Stadium in August. This marks the tour's second visit to the continent, following a 2023 leg that generated $158.1 million and sold 1.6 million tickets.
Looking ahead, the final leg of the tour will encompass 17 dates across Asia, marking The Weeknd’s first performances in the region since 2018. These shows will transition from arenas to stadiums to accommodate the tour's scale.
As part of the tour, The Weeknd is collaborating with Global Citizen and the United Nations World Food Programme. Donations of €1 from each ticket sold in Europe and £1 from UK shows will support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund and the XO Humanitarian Fund.
The tour initially launched to support the albums 'After Hours' and 'Dawn FM.' Its setlist has since expanded to cover the artist's entire career, particularly after the release of 'Wake Up Tomorrow,' his fifth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 in 2025, which completed the album trilogy.
According to Billboard, the tour has consistently ranked among the top 10 global tours for three of the last four years.
