Over the course of his ‘After Hours Til Dawn’ tour, he enchanted a staggering 160,000 fans during his unforgettable two-night performance. In the midst of his tour, London presents him with yet another record-breaking accolade, as the Starboy continues to etch his name in history.

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.
