The Weeknd has closed out his “After Hours Til Dawn” tour as the highest-grossing solo male tour in history. The run wrapped with a 176th and final show in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, more than four years after it opened in Philadelphia, and according to promoter Live Nation, it grossed more than $1.3 billion and moved over 9 million tickets, across 67 cities in 30 countries.
That total pushes the tour past Elton John’s farewell tour, which had previously held the male solo record at $939 million, and places it third on the all-time list, behind Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour (over $2 billion) and Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres tour (over $1.5 billion).

The 2026 leg was a major driver of the final number: The Weeknd’s 2026 dates alone brought in more than $500 million from over 3 million tickets. Along the way, individual markets set their own records — seven shows at SoFi Stadium gave him the most performances and highest gross by a male artist at that venue, and six nights at Rogers Centre in Toronto set a similar single-tour record.
The tour’s final chapter was its first swing through Asia, where The Weeknd played 17 sold-out shows, including a stop in Hong Kong. There, four sold-out shows at Kai Tak Stadium sold nearly 200,000 tickets, making him the market’s highest-selling international male solo artist.
The Asia run also had a knock-on effect on streaming: on QQ Music, a track tied to the tour notched the biggest debut ever for a Western male artist, a sign of how far the tour’s reach extended beyond ticket sales alone.
Beyond the numbers, the tour carried a philanthropic component. It raised $8.5 million for the XO Humanitarian Fund and Global Citizen, supporting hunger relief and access to education for children.
