The Weeknd has made live music history by becoming the first artist ever to sell out six concerts on a single tour at Stade de France in Paris.
The milestone came during the European leg of his After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour, with the Canadian superstar performing to more than 500,000 fans across eight stadium shows in France, making him the country’s highest-attended touring artist this summer.
The Weeknd breaks Stade de France record
The record-breaking French run included stadium performances in Lille, Nice and Paris, with six sold-out nights at Stade de France setting a new benchmark for the iconic venue.
Across all eight French dates, more than 500,000 fans attended the concerts, further cementing The Weeknd’s reputation as one of the world’s biggest live performers.
The achievement adds another landmark to the After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour, which has been touring globally since 2022.
After Hours Til Dawn Tour continues to smash records
The After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour has already been recognised as the highest-grossing tour ever by a male solo artist.
The tour has now:
- Sold more than 7.5 million tickets
- Played 153 stadium shows
- Grossed more than $1 billion worldwide
- Sold more than 3 million tickets in 2026 alone
- Generated more than $440 million this year
Since launching in 2022, the tour has visited North America, Europe, the UK, Latin America, Australia and is continuing to expand.
Spectacular production continues around the world
One of the tour’s defining features is its ambitious stage production, centred around a 40-foot gold statue complete with laser eyes and smoke effects.
The installation has been described as the largest commissioned fine artwork ever incorporated into a live concert production, making it one of the most distinctive visual elements of any current stadium tour.

Following the European leg, The Weeknd will take the After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour to Asia for its final run.
The final leg includes 17 concerts across:
- Japan
- Indonesia

The tour is scheduled to conclude with its final performance in Kuala Lumpur on 5 November 2026.
