The Weeknd closes his global stadium tour with more than $1.3 billion in ticket revenue.

The Weeknd is leaving the road with a historic final tally. His After Hours Til Dawn Tour has concluded with more than $1.3 billion in ticket revenue, making it the highest-grossing tour by a male solo artist.

Promoter Live Nation reports that more than nine million tickets were sold across 176 performances. The tour reached 67 cities in 30 countries across five continents, building its total over a run that began in July 2022.

Only two tours sit above it on the all-time grossing list: Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, with more than $2 billion, and Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres Tour, with more than $1.5 billion. Elton John previously held the male solo artist record with approximately $939.1 million from his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour.

The Weeknd closed the trek November 4 in Kuala Lumpur. His final Asian leg grew from 11 announced dates to 17 sold-out shows, including four performances in Hong Kong and three in Bangkok. Alongside its commercial success, the tour raised $8.5 million for the XO Humanitarian Fund and Global Citizen.

These numbers are ridiculous, but the sustained demand stands out most to me. Four years is a long time to keep people showing up at this scale. The Weeknd didn’t just have a successful stretch; he finished with a place among touring’s biggest acts ever.
