The Weeknd has wrapped up a sold-out five-night run at London’s Wembley Stadium after drawing more than 450,000 fans across his UK tour.
The Canadian superstar performed at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium on June 11 and 12 before returning to the UK for five nights at Wembley Stadium on August 14-16, 18 & 19.
Across the seven performances, which attracted ticket buyers from nearly 150 countries, the UK shows raised more than $350,000 in charitable donations for the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and Global Citizen.
The Weeknd’s London stint has generated over 11 million audio streams over the past week, up 55% compared to the previous four-week average. Greatest hits album The Highlights, which has spent over 200 weeks in the UK Top 10 Official Chart, was No.8 in the Official Charts Company's latest midweeks.
Several tracks also saw renewed momentum on Spotify UK, including House Of Balloons/Glass Table Girls, One Of The Girls and The Hills, plus catalogue tracks Starboy, Blinding Lights and Timeless.
London has been hugely proud to welcome The Weeknd for more shows than any other city in the world this year

London Mayor Sadiq Khan said: “London has been hugely proud to welcome The Weeknd for more shows than any other city in the world this year. His five performances have brought hundreds of thousands of fans to Wembley Stadium, providing a huge boost to our tourism and hospitality industries, and showing why London is the music capital of the world.”
According to promoter Live Nation, The Weeknd has sold more than three million tickets globally in 2026 and earned over $400 million.
The 2026 European run marks the second time the After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour has crossed the region, following its sold-out 2023 leg, which included stops in Dublin, Stockholm, Madrid, Prague, and more. The record-breaking tour surpassed $1 billion in global gross last year following the addition of 2026 dates across Europe and Latin America, with more than 7.5 million tickets sold across 153 shows, making it the highest-grossing tour ever by a male solo artist.
Since launching in 2022, the tour has visited North America, Europe, the UK, Latin America, and Australia, returning for second runs in every territory except Australia.
The European leg continues this Saturday with the first of two sold-out shows at Croke Park in Dublin, followed by final stops in Madrid, Barcelona and Lisbon.
The After Hours Til Dawn Tour will then head to Asia for its final leg this autumn, with stops in Tokyo, Jakarta, Singapore, Seoul, Bangkok, Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur. Originally announced with 11 stadium shows, the run quickly expanded to 17 dates due to overwhelming demand, including additional performances in Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok.
As part of the After Hours Til Dawn 2026 Tour, The Weeknd is again partnering with Global Citizen through the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, and will also continue to partner with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to provide funds to the XO Humanitarian Funds. €1 from each ticket sold across Europe and £1 in the UK will be donated to the two organisations.
