The Weeknd has completed After Hours Til Dawn with gross ticket revenue exceeding $1.3 billion, confirming its record among tours by male solo artists. The final performance took place in Kuala Lumpur on November 4, closing a four-year run. According to Live Nation, the tour encompassed 176 shows in thirty countries across five continents and sold more than nine million tickets during its global journey.
The Weeknd brought After Hours Til Dawn to a close in Malaysia after a stadium tour lasting more than four years. The November 4 performance at Kuala Lumpur's TM Stadium Nasional completed a route that began in July 2022. The following day, promoter Live Nation presented the final figures, placing the run above $1.3 billion in gross ticket revenue and nine million tickets sold.
That total makes it the highest-grossing tour by a male solo performer. Gross ticket revenue should be distinguished from the artist's personal earnings: staging, staff, production and other obligations all form part of the economics behind a large tour. The headline figure describes money generated by ticket sales, not a statement of the singer's profit after the operation's costs.
The record itself had already been announced before the final show. In November 2025, Live Nation said revenue had passed $1 billion and established the male-solo benchmark. The latest announcement supplies the completed tally after the remaining dates. It therefore updates the final size of a record-setting run rather than identifying the first moment it overtook the previous leader.
In the broader ranking of tours, The Weeknd sits behind Taylor Swift's Eras Tour and Coldplay's Music of the Spheres. Swift's tour exceeded $2 billion, while Coldplay's reported total was above $1.5 billion in the comparison presented by Live Nation. Including those acts makes the category clear: the new male-solo record is distinct from the overall touring record across all performers.
Elton John previously held the male-solo benchmark through Farewell Yellow Brick Road, which finished above $939 million. The comparison illustrates the revenue reached by the newer run, although the tours differed in duration and the number of performances. A gross total can identify a financial ranking without making every aspect of the two undertakings directly equivalent.
After Hours Til Dawn began at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field on July 14, 2022. It subsequently traveled through North America, Europe, Latin America and Australia before reaching Asia. The Weeknd returned to several territories for additional dates, extending the original schedule as the tour continued. Its eventual scale reflects those successive expansions rather than one unaltered itinerary announced at the beginning.
The final account covers 176 shows in 67 cities, thirty countries and five continents. More than nine million tickets were sold across that route. Multiple stadium appearances in individual cities became an important part of its development, with additional nights added in response to demand. The figures measure the completed touring program over several years, not the audience for a single season.
The closing year contributed substantially to the total. During 2026 alone, the tour generated more than $500 million in gross revenue and sold over three million tickets, according to the promoter's figures. New runs in Latin America, Europe and Asia supplied that activity, adding a large final portion to the accumulated revenue before the closing performance in Malaysia.
The Weeknd played six sold-out Stade de France dates across the tour, a first announced for that venue. His summer 2026 French concerts attracted more than 500,000 spectators, with thirteen performances in France overall. Those numbers refer to different scopes: the stadium milestone concerns one venue, while the wider attendance figure covers the country's concerts in that summer period.
Britain accounted for more than 450,000 tickets across seven sold-out 2026 concerts, including five at London's Wembley Stadium and two in Manchester. In Los Angeles, the tour reached seven SoFi Stadium performances and set venue records for a male artist in both appearances and gross revenue. These local achievements formed part of the larger international ticket total.
The Asian schedule grew from an initial eleven dates to seventeen as demand increased. It included three nights in Bangkok, four in Hong Kong and multiple appearances in every market visited. The Weeknd sold almost 200,000 tickets across four sold-out Kai Tak Stadium shows in Hong Kong, described by the promoter as a city record for an international male solo performer.
Across the four years, the concert evolved around material from After Hours, Dawn FM and Hurry Up Tomorrow, released in 2020, 2022 and 2025 respectively. Newer songs entered the program while major hits such as Blinding Lights, Starboy and Save Your Tears remained part of its identity. The changing repertoire accompanied a production that continued moving between continents and returning to established audiences.
Live Nation also linked the tour with $8.5 million raised through the XO Humanitarian Fund and Global Citizen for hunger relief and children's access to education. During 2026, $3 million was raised for the United Nations World Food Programme and Global Citizen. This year's support also includes initiatives addressing women's and girls' access to health, education and economic opportunities.
The final Kuala Lumpur performance closes that expanding itinerary with a completed account: 176 shows, more than nine million tickets and gross revenue above $1.3 billion. For The Weeknd, the four-year sequence from Philadelphia to Asia ends after the male-solo touring benchmark had already been surpassed, leaving the final total as the new measure of the run's scale.
