LOS ANGELES – The Weeknd has set a historic benchmark in the music industry as his After Hours Til Dawn tour becomes the highest-grossing R&B tour of all time, surpassing the record previously held by Beyoncé. The global tour has already generated $635.5 million in revenue, drawing more than 5 million fans worldwide.
The tour, which began in 2022, showcases music from After Hours, Dawn FM, and Hurry Up Tomorrow. Its success not only places The Weeknd at the top of R&B touring history but also secures him a spot among the few artists whose tours have crossed the $600 million mark.
Industry estimates suggest that by the time the final show concludes in early September, total earnings could approach $700 million, with ticket sales exceeding 5.5 million. This would further cement the tour’s place among the highest-grossing music events in history.
Critics and fans alike have praised the production for its scale and artistry, combining elaborate visuals with some of The Weeknd’s most iconic hits, including Blinding Lights and Save Your Tears. The achievement highlights his unmatched influence in modern music and sets a new standard for R&B performance on the world stage.
