The Weeknd's July Tour Grosses $124.4 Million, Setting Solo Male Record
The Weeknd's After Hours til Dawn Tour earned $124.4 million and sold 892,000 tickets across 16 shows in July, his best monthly total yet. This marks the largest one-month gross by a solo male act since Billboard Boxscore's Top Tours chart launched in 2019, and the second-highest monthly attendance on record. The overall top 30 tours also posted their best-ever combined figures for the month.
The After Hours til Dawn Tour's July figures place it among the most commercially successful concert runs ever tracked. Its $124.4 million monthly gross narrowly edged out Bad Bunny's September 2022 total, while the 892,000 tickets sold came within a fraction of The Weeknd's own previous monthly best from July 2023. Only Harry Styles has moved more tickets in a single month since Billboard began charting this data in 2019.
The Paris engagement anchored the month's results, with four Stade de France shows generating $44.2 million. Those performances pushed the venue's cumulative tour total past $60 million across six sold-out dates. Overall, the tour has now earned $910.1 million since 2022, ranking fourth all-time behind Taylor Swift, Coldplay, and Elton John.
This record-setting month may signal how the live entertainment industry continues consolidating around a small number of stadium-scale artists. Fans in Europe, where larger venues enabled these figures, could face rising ticket prices as promoters observe sustained demand. The milestone may also influence how other major acts structure future tours, prioritizing fewer, larger international dates over extensive regional runs. Casual concertgoers could find themselves priced out of headline shows, while the touring sector's economic concentration among top-tier performers may deepen.
