The Weeknd breaks record for highest two-night concert attendance with 160,000 at London Stadium as the superstar grossed over $350 million with more dates to come.
Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye just broke the record for highest attendance over two nights, with 160,000 in attendance at the London Stadium for consecutive sell-out shows on July 7th and 8th. The After Hours Til Dawn tour now holds the record for the highest single attendance of any show at the stadium.
The second leg of the After Hours Til Dawn tour continues with a show in Brussels, Belgium at the King Baudouin Stadium before heading to Barcelona, Milan, Paris and more. The Weeknd will begin its Latin American run this fall with shows in Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires and more before concluding on October 25 at the Estadio Akron in Guadalajara, Mexico.
The completely sold-out North American leg of the tour in 2022 was a huge success, breaking attendance records and grossing US$148 million. With the start of leg two, the tour has now grossed over $350 million.
“It’s incredible to see The Weeknd not even reach this milestone halfway through their sold-out European tour,” said Omar Al-joulani, President of Touring at Live Nation. “This historic moment in London showcases the global fan base he has built over the years.”
The global stadium tour celebrates The Weeknd’s 2020 album After hours – His hit single “Blinding Lights” was named the #1 Hot 100 song of all time by Billboard, surpassing Chubby Checker’s 1960 hit “The Twist” — as well as his critically acclaimed album Dawn FMpublished in January 2022.
