The Weeknd has wrapped the 2026 Europe and UK leg of his After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour, a 42-date sold-out run that grossed more than USD $345 million.
The leg drew more than 2.3 million fans across 11 countries, closing on Sunday (September 6) with the second of back-to-back shows at Estádio do Restelo in Lisbon.
It marked the second time The Weeknd had brought the tour to the region, following a first Europe and UK leg in 2023.
The run featured multi-night stands in nearly every market, including Manchester, Munich, Milan, Stockholm, Madrid, Dublin, Paris, and London.
It kicked off on June 11 with two nights at Manchester‘s Etihad Stadium, and included a 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 became the first artist to sell out six nights at Stade de France in Paris on a single tour, according to the tour’s organizers.
His 2026 performances drew more than 500,000 fans across France, and he has now sold out 13 stadium shows in the country across the full tour, according to the announcement.
Newly released figures for the UK and France alone showed more than $618 million (nearly €532 million) in economic impact, according to a press release.
Throughout the run, the tour raised more than $2.2 million for the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and Global Citizen, with €1 from every ticket sold in Europe and £1 in the UK donated to the two organizations.
The tour partnered with Global Citizen to raise money for the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, and with WFP to support the XO Humanitarian Fund, which backs the organization’s response to global hunger.
A Goodwill Ambassador for WFP since 2021, The Weeknd has donated more than $12.6 million to charity since 2020.
The After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour launched in 2022 and surpassed $1 billion in global gross last year, as previously reported by MBW.
At that point, it had sold more than 7.5 million tickets across 153 shows, and promoter Live Nation has described it as the highest-grossing tour by a male solo artist.
Since 2022, the tour has traveled across North America, Europe, the UK, Latin America, and Australia, with The Weeknd returning for second runs across nearly every territory.
In July, the tour topped Billboard‘s monthly Boxscore chart, grossing more than $120 million and selling nearly 900,000 tickets in the month, according to the announcement.
This leg also featured a 40-foot art sculpture designed by Hajime Sorayama, hand-carved from polystyrene in Toyama, Japan, and finished in gold.
The tour heads to Asia for its final leg, opening on September 19 in Tokyo before stops in Jakarta, Singapore, Seoul, Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Kuala Lumpur.
The Asian run was expanded from 11 to 17 dates, with added shows in Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, and Bangkok.
The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, saw Blinding Lights become the first song to reach 5 billion streams on Spotify in 2025.
The track overtook Ed Sheeran‘s Shape of You in 2023 to become Spotify’s most-streamed song of all time, a record it still holds.
In December 2025, The Weeknd closed a reported $1 billion deal with Lyric Capital Group that brought outside investment into his music catalog, while he and his team retained “creative control.”
The deal followed reports in August 2025 that The Weeknd was seeking roughly $1 billion in financing backed by his music catalog, as MBW reported at the time.
The artist signed a long-term publishing agreement with Universal Music Group in 2022, covering his catalog and future works.Music Business Worldwide
