The Weeknd achieved a remarkable milestone by becoming the inaugural artist to draw a colossal crowd of 160,000 enthusiasts to Wembley Stadium. With his ‘After Hours Til Dawn’ tour, he amassed an impressive $350 million in revenue by July. Now, he adds another feather to his cap as the singer sells a staggering 80,000 tickets, shattering the stadium’s global record and cementing his tour as the highest-grossing spectacle of the decade.
The legendary Michael Jackson previously held the title of the highest-grossing tour by a black artist. His renowned ‘Bad Tour’ amassed an impressive $311 million. However, Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour is poised to potentially surpass billions. It appears that this is one golden era for tours, considering the triumphant run of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour as well.
While The Weeknd may have rocked Wembley Stadium and London, Taylor Swift is rocking the US and its economy.

The journey of the Eras tour is far from its conclusion, as it continues to amass millions with every show. With its ongoing success, it stands the chance to claim the title of the highest-grossing tour in history. Not only has it contributed significantly to the American economy, but it has also attracted a crowd that’s 700+ times larger than her own hometown. The relentless determination of the ‘Shake It Off’ singer shows no signs of slowing down.
The sales from American tickets alone could potentially bring in a staggering $2.2 billion. Taylor Swift’s masterful blend of special guest appearances and delightful surprises has ignited feverish excitement among fans. She even shattered records by achieving the highest ticket sales on the very day of her debut. Swift and The Weeknd are proving it truly is the era of successful musical tours.
