The Weeknd has officially wrapped the sold-out 2026 Europe and UK leg of his record-breaking After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour, closing out with back-to-back shows at Estádio do Restelo in Lisbon on 7 September. The 42-date run marked the second time the tour has swept through the region, following the initial 2023 leg, and pushed the campaign further into modern stadium-tour history.
Across the 2026 leg, The Weeknd played to more than 2.3 million fans across 11 countries, grossing over $345 million, with multi-night runs in nearly every market including Manchester, Munich, Milan, Stockholm, Madrid, Dublin, Paris and London. The run also generated newly released economic figures of more than $618 million (nearly €532 million) across the UK and France alone. The tour additionally topped Billboard’s July Boxscore, grossing over $120 million and selling almost 900,000 tickets in that month alone.
The run kicked off on 11 June with two nights at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium and included a historic five-night stand at Wembley Stadium, where The Weeknd played to more than 450,000 fans across seven UK stadium dates, with ticket buyers travelling in from nearly 150 countries. In France, he made history as the first artist ever to sell out six nights at Stade de France on a single tour, drawing over 500,000 fans across the country this summer. Across the entire After Hours Til Dawn campaign, he has now sold out 13 stadium shows in France.
The 2026 leg also raised more than $2.2 million in charitable donations for the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and Global Citizen, with €1 from every ticket sold across Europe and £1 in the UK going to the two organisations. The WFP funds support the XO Humanitarian Fund’s response to the ongoing global hunger crisis, while the Global Citizen partnership channels into the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. Fans also had the chance to earn free tickets by taking action to end extreme poverty via Global Citizen.
Visually, this leg introduced a brand-new 40-foot Hajime Sorayama gold sculpture, more than double the size of the piece used in previous legs. Hand-carved from polystyrene and cast in Toyama by Japanese craftsmen, the one-of-one artwork was finished in gold through multiple layers of high-gloss aluminium paint, then customised with laser illumination embedded in the eyes and theatrical smoke effects emerging from the palm, effectively turning it into a living stage element.
Since launching in 2022, the After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour has now travelled across North America, Europe, the UK, Latin America and Australia, with 7.5 million-plus tickets sold across 153 shows and a global gross that surpassed $1 billion last year, making it the highest-grossing tour ever by a male solo artist. In other news, we recently covered The Weeknd’s emotional Kavinsky tribute at his Frankfurt show.
The final leg heads to Asia in just a few weeks, kicking off on 19 September in Tokyo, before rolling through Jakarta, Singapore, Seoul, Bangkok, Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur. Originally announced with 11 stadium shows, the Asia run has already expanded to 17 dates on demand, with extra shows added in Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok.
