The Weeknd wraps historic 2026 European stadium run with 2.3 million fans!
The Weeknd has closed another record-breaking chapter of the 'After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour', wrapping the 2026 Europe and UK leg after 42 sold-out shows across 11 countries and more than 2.3 million fans. The mammoth run concluded with back-to-back performances at Lisbon’s Estádio do Restelo on September 5 and 6, bringing one of the biggest stadium tours of the year to a close on European soil.
Returning to the region for the second time following the tour’s initial Europe and UK run in 2023, The Weeknd expanded the scale considerably this time around. The 2026 leg grossed more than $345 million, with multi-night runs becoming the norm across some of Europe’s biggest stadiums, including Manchester, Munich, Milan, Stockholm, Madrid, Dublin, Paris and London.
The UK provided one of the defining chapters of the run. The tour opened its European leg with two nights at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium on June 11 and 12 before eventually reaching London, where The Weeknd delivered a historic five-night stand at Wembley Stadium. Across Manchester and London, seven sold-out UK stadium shows welcomed more than 450,000 fans, with ticket buyers travelling from almost 150 countries to see the shows.
France produced another landmark moment. The Weeknd became the first artist in history to sell out six nights at Paris’ Stade de France on a single tour, while his 2026 performances across the country drew more than 500,000 fans. Across the wider 'After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour', he has now sold out 13 stadium shows in France, further cementing the extraordinary demand surrounding his live shows in the market.
The tour’s impact has also stretched well beyond ticket sales. Newly released figures show that the 2026 run generated more than $618 million in economic impact across the UK and France alone - equivalent to almost €532 million - while more than $2.2 million was raised through charitable initiatives supporting the United Nations World Food Programme and Global Citizen.
The tour also topped Billboard’s July Boxscore after generating more than $120 million and selling close to 900,000 tickets in a single month, underlining the extraordinary demand that has surrounded the stadium run even several years into its lifespan.
Yet Europe is not quite the end of the road. 'The After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour' will now head to Asia for its final leg, beginning with two shows at Tokyo’s Belluna Dome on September 19 and 20 before continuing through Jakarta, Singapore, Seoul, Bangkok, Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur.
Since launching in 2022, the tour has travelled across North America, Europe, the UK, Latin America and Australia, with The Weeknd repeatedly returning to territories for second runs. Now, with more than 2.3 million fans having experienced the latest European chapter and another continent still to come, 'After Hours Til Dawn' continues to stand as one of the defining live achievements of The Weeknd’s career.
