Of late, diamond-certified global superstar The Weeknd wrapped the sold-out 2026 Europe and UK leg of his record-breaking After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour, culminating with back-to-back shows at Estádio do Restelo in Lisbon, Portugal. The 42-date run marked The Weeknd’s second time bringing the tour to the region, following its first Europe and UK leg in 2023.
The 2026 leg grossed more than $345 million and welcomed more than 2 million fans, with multi-night runs in nearly every market, including Manchester, Munich, Milan, Stockholm, Madrid, Dublin, Paris, London and more. Throughout the run, the tour also raised more than $2.2 million USD in charitable donations benefiting the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and Global Citizen. Notably, the After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour topped Billboard’s July Boxscore, grossing more than $120 million and selling nearly 900,000 tickets in the month alone.
The tour also delivered a major economic boost across Europe, with newly released figures from the UK and France alone showing more than $618 million in economic impact — nearly €532 million.
Kicking off June 11 with two nights at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium, the run included a historic five-night stand at London’s Wembley Stadium. Across Manchester and London, The Weeknd performed seven sold-out UK stadium shows for more than 450,000 fans, including ticket buyers from nearly 150 countries.
The Weeknd also made history in France, becoming the first artist ever to sell out six nights at Stade de France in Paris on a single tour. His 2026 performances drew more than 500,000 fans across France this summer alone. Across the full After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour, The Weeknd has now sold out 13 stadium shows in France, further demonstrating the scale of his success in the market.
Since launching in 2022, the After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour has traveled across North America, Europe, the UK, Latin America and Australia, with The Weeknd returning for second runs across nearly every territory.
Last year, the record-breaking tour surpassed $1 billion in global gross following the addition of 2026 dates across Europe, the UK and Latin America. With more than 7.5 million tickets sold across 153 shows, After Hours Til Dawn became the highest-grossing tour ever by a male solo artist, cementing its place among the biggest global tours in history.
This leg of the tour featured a brand new 40-foot art sculpture designed by Hajime Sorayama, over 2x the size of the statue showcased in previous legs. First hand-carved from polystyrene and cast in Toyama by Japanese craftsmen, this unique one-of-one sculpture was finished in gold through a meticulous hand-coating process using multiple layers of high-gloss aluminum paint to achieve a luminous metallic surface. Created exclusively for The Weeknd’s After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour, the sculpture was further customized with laser illumination embedded in the eyes and theatrical smoke effects emerging from the palm, transforming it into a living stage presence.
The After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour heads to Asia for its final leg in just a few weeks, kicking off on Saturday, September 19 in Tokyo, before making stops in Jakarta, Singapore, Seoul, Bangkok, Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur. Originally announced with 11 stadium shows, the run quickly expanded to 17 dates due to overwhelming demand, including additional performances in Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok.
As part of the After Hours Til Dawn 2026 Tour, The Weeknd is again partnering with Global Citizen to raise funds to provide access to quality education for children around the world through the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. He has continued to partner with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to provide funds to the XO Humanitarian Fund, which supports the organization’s response to the unprecedented global hunger crisis. €1 from each ticket sold across Europe and £1 in the UK has been donated to these two organizations. Fans have also had the opportunity to earn one pair of free tickets to each tour date by taking action to end extreme poverty with Global Citizen. For more information, visit www.globalcitizen.org.
