Summary
The Weeknd’s “After Hours Til Dawn” tour just lit up Copenhagen—and the world—with record-breaking shows, jaw-dropping visuals, and a powerful humanitarian mission. Already the highest-grossing tour by a male solo artist, it’s smashed over $1 billion in revenue and sold more than 7.5 million tickets since 2022. Featuring a colossal 40-foot gold sculpture by Hajime Sorayama—the largest fine-art commission ever for a concert—and dazzling golden ruins, lasers, and fire, the spectacle is unlike anything else. But it’s not just about the show: The Weeknd’s partnership with Global Citizen has donated over $8.5 million to fund education and food relief for underprivileged kids. With stops across Europe and major UK dates at Wembley later this summer, plus a surprise new single “Rio” with Anitta, this tour proves The Weeknd is redefining global music events—one unforgettable night at a time.
