The Weeknd concludes Europe and UK tour leg

Overview

Canadian artist The Weeknd has concluded the Europe and UK leg of his ‘After Hours Til Dawn’ stadium tour. The 42-date sold-out run grossed more than $345 million and drew over 2.3 million fans across 11 countries, finishing with two performances at Estádio do Restelo in Lisbon, Portugal.

The tour leg achieved significant philanthropic and economic milestones. By contributing €1 from every ticket sold in Europe and £1 in the UK, the tour raised more than $2.2 million for the United Nations World Food Programme and Global Citizen. These funds support initiatives including the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund and the XO Humanitarian Fund to address global hunger.

Economically, the tour generated more than $618 million across the UK and France alone. Notable highlights included the artist becoming the first to sell out six nights at the Stade de France in Paris. The tour is scheduled to proceed to its final leg in Asia, beginning in Tokyo, Japan, on September 19, 2026.
