The Weeknd continues to make history with his record-breaking “After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour.” The global megastar became the first artist to sell out six nights at Stade de France in Paris on a single tour, and he has drawn more than half a million fans across France just this summer. Throughout his run, The Weeknd has sold out 13 stadium concerts throughout France, cementing his connection with fans from l’Hexagone.

Since launching in 2022, the “After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour” has visited North America, Europe, the United Kingdom, Latin America and Australia, returning for second runs in nearly every region. This summer’s European leg is the second go-around for The Weeknd’s stadium trek following a sold-out 2023 leg that included sold-out shows in Dublin, Stockholm, Madrid, Prague and more.

Live Nation announced in November that the tour surpassed $1 billion in global gross following the announcement of 2026 dates, with more than 7.5 million tickets sold across 153 shows. In 2026 alone, The Weeknd has sold more than 3 million tickets and grossed over $440 million, according to the promoter.

The “After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour” marks the first time a trek from a solo male artist surpassed $1 billion in grosses. The Weeknd won the Pollstar Award for Best R&B Tour earlier this year, and his managers Amir “Cash” Esmailian and Wassim “Sal” Slaiby were recently recognized as 2026 Pollstar Impact 50 honorees for their work with the artist.

And there’s still plenty more history to be made for the Canadian singer. He’s currently in Milan, Italy, for a three-night stand at San Siro Stadium before embarking for Frankfurt’s Deutsche Bank Park. Other stops include Warsaw, Stockholm, five nights at London’s Wembley Stadium, Dublin, Madrid and Lisbon.

The Weeknd announced earlier this year that the final leg of the remarkable tour will take place in Asia this fall, with shows in Tokyo, Jakarta, Singapore, Seoul, Bangkok, Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur. The leg was originally announced as an 11-date stadium run, but it has since expanded to 17 shows due to overwhelming demand.

This leg of the tour features a new 40-foot art sculpture designed by Hajime Soryama, which is more than twice the size of the statue showcased on previous legs. The unique sculpture was hand-carved from polystyrene and cast in Toyama by Japanese craftsmen. It was later finished in gold through a meticulous hand-coating process that involved multiple layers of high-gloss aluminum paint to give the sculpture a metallic surface. It was created exclusively for The Weeknd’s tour and customized with laser illumination embedded in the eyes as well as theatrical smoke effects emerging from the palm.

The “After Hours Til Dawn 2026 Tour” is raising funds to provide children across the world with access to quality education. The Weeknd partnered with Global Citizen for the tour to raise money for the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, and he’s also partnered with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to provide funds to the XO Humanitarian Fund to help the organization respond to the global hunger crisis. €1 from each ticket sold across Europe and £1 from each ticket sold in the U.K. will be donated to the two organizations.
