The Weeknd has sold 3m tickets and grossed $440m in 2026 so far
The Weeknd's 'After Hours Til Dawn' tour has generated $440 million in revenue and sold 3 million tickets in 2026 alone. Live Nation highlighted these figures to counter industry concerns regarding poor concert ticket sales.
Why it matters
The data serves as a benchmark for the health of the live music industry and the continued commercial viability of stadium-scale tours.
Y’know someone who’s not suffering from ‘ blue dot fever ’ this year? The Weeknd. That’s according to Live Nation, which published some stats to celebrate the start of the latest leg of his ‘After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour’. According to the company, the tour has sold more than 3m tickets, earning more than $440m, since the start of 2026 alone. That’s on top of the $1bn-gross milestone that the tour reached last year, having sold 7.5m tickets since it started in 2022. The end is in sight: the tour will wrap up with 17 shows in Asia this autumn. Live Nation also noted that the current UK and European leg of the tour will see €1 / £1 from each ticket donated to the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund and the XO Humanitarian Fund.
The report focuses on financial data and industry trends provided by the tour promoter.
