The Weeknd's After Hours 'Til Dawn' tour has made historic waves, surpassing $1 billion in gross revenue, Live Nation announced on Thursday. Launching in Philadelphia in July 2022, the extensive tour has sold over 7.5 million tickets across 153 shows worldwide, earning a total of $1.004 billion as of mid-November 2025.

This milestone makes The Weeknd the first male solo artist to exceed the billion-dollar mark in tour earnings. He joins an elite group of acts, including Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, which grossed $2.2 billion, and Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres tour, at roughly $1.39 billion. The achievement places him ahead of Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour, which grossed $579 million.

The tour's 2025 North American leg alone featured over 40 sold-out stadium concerts, setting records for the highest-grossing Black male artist performances across multiple major venues such as New York, Denver, Montreal, and Houston. Notably, in Toronto, The Weeknd set the record for most shows by a male solo artist at Rogers Centre with six performances.

Live Nation’s president of touring, Omar Al-joulani, praised The Weeknd’s enduring appeal and global demand, calling the tour one of the biggest of all time, showcasing the artist’s impact on the music world.

Philanthropically, the tour has contributed over $8.5 million to The Weeknd’s XO Humanitarian Fund and Global Citizen, with proceeds from upcoming 2026 performances dedicated to the United Nations World Food Programme.

The tour continues through September 2026, with additional dates planned in Mexico, Brazil, Europe, and the United Kingdom, promising more record-breaking shows to come.
