The Weeknd concluded his After Hours Til Dawn Tour at TM Stadium National in Kuala Lumpur. The tour has grossed more than $1.3 billion and moved more than 9 million tickets.
Why it matters

Reported ticketing and gross totals, drawn from 176 shows across 67 cities, place the tour among the largest concert runs on record. The extraction does not specify the audited basis for the gross or how revenue is split between the artist and promoters.

Industry Dynamics
The tour places The Weeknd in the same billion-dollar tier as Taylor Swift and Coldplay, a small group of acts whose touring revenue has reset expectations for live music economics. Its expansion from 11 to 17 Asian shows reflects how stadium demand in that region has grown beyond initial projections.
Fans who did not attend the 176 shows now have no further stops on this tour to attend in person. Future tour announcements from The Weeknd will determine when and where ticket access opens next.
The takeaway
The tour's scale shows how a single artist can build a global live audience across many markets over several years. Fans tracking future live dates should watch for official announcements from The Weeknd's team.
