Who doesn’t love a long Weeknd? The international superstar’s After Hours Til Dawn Tour has become one of the biggest global treks ever, appearing in the top 10 of Billboard’s annual top tours chart for three of the last four years. But after reaching new heights last year, 2026 will be its biggest yet, generating another $440 million in ticket sales with more than 3 million fans in attendance.

Last year, The Weeknd set R&B records as the After Hours Til Dawn Tour became the highest-grossing and best-selling tour in the genre’s history, knocking Beyoncé and Bruno Mars off their long-held perches. But with this year’s brief stint in Latin America, more than 40 shows across Europe and a final run of 17 dates in Asia, it transcends genre altogether to become the highest-grossing tour in Boxscore history by a solo male artist.

According to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, The Weeknd’s world tour has grossed $735.8 million and sold 5.8 million tickets since launching in 2022, current through his May 1 performance in São Paulo, Brazil. According to the tour’s promoter Live Nation and The Weeknd’s agency CAA, the remaining 59 shows push the trek’s total take well beyond $1 billion, joining tours by Coldplay and Taylor Swift in the exclusive 10-figure club.

The Weeknd kicked off the 2026 UK/Europe leg of the tour last night (June 11) at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium. He plays there again tonight before embarking on multi-night runs in Copenhagen, Madrid, Milan, Paris, Stockholm and more, including five shows at London’s Wembley Stadium in August. It’s the tour’s second trip to the continent, after 30 shows that collectively grossed $158.1 million and sold 1.6 million tickets in 2023. This summer’s run could approach double those earnings.

The tour’s final leg will mark The Weeknd’s first shows in Asia since a brief dedicated run in 2018. This time, he’ll play more than two times the number of shows, and, to match the tour’s other 159 dates around the world, elevate from arenas to stadiums.

As part of The Weeknd’s 2026 tour, he is partnering with Global Citizen and the United Nations World Food Programme, donating €1 from each ticket sold at all shows across Europe and £1 across shows in the United Kingdom to the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund and XO Humanitarian Fund, respectively.

The After Hours Til Dawn Tour has evolved since its 2022 kick-off, then in support of After Hours and Dawn FM, the first two albums of a promised trilogy. In the immediate wake of record-breaking Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles like “Blinding Lights” and “Save Your Tears,” he placed two songs on the chart’s 2023 year-end roundup with “Creepin,” with Metro Boomin and 21 Savage, and “Die For You,” alongside Ariana Grande. He rounded out the trilogy with 2025’s Wake Up Tomorrow as his fifth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, expanding the tour’s setlist to the scope of his entire career.

While it seemed like every other seat was filled by an at-first dejected and then wildly elated celebrity cheering on the New York Knicks to a totally improbable last-second victory in game four of the NBA finals on Wednesday night (June 10), one A-lister who couldn’t make it still grabbed massive headlines.

On Thursday (June 11), Nicole Kidman gave her enthusiastic thumbs-up to Taylor Swift, and Este and Alana Haim of the band Haim for representing with their custom Knicks name pun T-shirts. And while she didn’t specifically shout out Este Haim for rocking a hilarious “Knickole Kidman” shirt on game night, in her Instagram Story the Margo’s Got Money Troubles star told the trio that she was with them in spirit.

“Right there with you girls!” Kidman wrote over a video of Swift shouting and pointing to her shirt — which read “Stevie Knicks” — before the camera turns to Swift hyping up Este’s Kidman-coded top. Kidman also reposted the trio’s celebration video in which they danced to Cyndi Lauper’s 1983 Billboard Hot 100 No. 2 hit “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” again lamenting that she could not be there to enjoy the good times.

“My girls!” she wrote in the caption. “I just wanna have fun!”

As just about everyone has seen by now, boy did they have fun! The trio — plus Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star Mariska Hargitay, also wearing a “Stevie Knicks” shirt — have been clipped into countless videos showing their wild enthusiasm during the game in which the Knicks improbably came back from a 29-point deficit to win as time expired, taking a 3-1 lead in the series.

Vogue caught up with Alana Haim after the game, to talk about her custom T-shirt/tote bag side hustle. They found out that the bassist/singer bought the royal blue shirts from Michael’s for $2.99 each and screen-printed them herself after getting a text from Swift that read, “I want to wear this shirt to the game, can you make it for me?”

Haim said she thought her pal would never ask, so then the two talked fonts and sizing, with Swift offering up her idea for a music-related Knicks pun, setting off a parade of punny ideas. “We really just wanted to have fun, because we were so excited that we were going to the game, and I thought it would make people laugh, so we put them on shirts and all decided to wear them,” she said.

And yes, Este brought an extra one, because she always does, to give to friends, which is how Hargitay ended up joining in on the action. For the record, third Haim sister lead guitarist/singer Danielle was also reportedly at the game wearing a shirt reading “Knickolas Cage,” but did not sit with her siblings on celebrity row.

Game five of the series will take place in San Antonio on Saturday (June 13), which, if the Knicks win it, would mark the team’s first championship if 53 years.

The big guy upstairs has been looking down on Tori Kelly, who drops her sixth and latest album God Must Really Love Me.

The new collection arrived at the stroke of midnight via Epic Records, and is home to the previously-released singles “Control” and “Dive” (which she reportedly wrote while seven-months pregnant).  

The album explores love, identity and “the quiet work of protecting your peace amid the constant noise of the outside world,” and was announced some six months after the birth of Kelly’s first child with husband André Murillo. The press release shared that Kelly experienced a creative “urgency” like never before, as she locked into the songwriting process “with full-hearted conviction, frequently recording voice memos while nursing her son.”

The big guy upstairs.

“Before the baby was born I’d tried to work on as many songs as possible, because I thought maybe I wouldn’t want to write once I was in mom mode. But then everything just hit me at once and right away I knew what I needed to say and exactly how I wanted it to sound,” she remarks. “I really challenged myself to peel back the layers and go much deeper with my lyrics. In the past I’ve held back from getting too specific in my songs, but this time I just completely let go.”

In a change of tac, Kelly developed most of its songs in solitude before heading into the studio with such producers and co-writers as DIXSON (Kehlani, Vic Mensa), Nija Charles (Summer Walker, Kiana Ledé), Emily Warren (Dua Lipa, Noah Kahan), and Ammo (Beyoncé, Teddy Swims). Most of the album came to life in Los Angeles with her two main collaborators, Tommy King (HAIM, Donna Missal) and Dan Farber (Lizzo, Alessia Cara), although a string of songs emerged while touring Europe in summer 2025 with Ed Sheeran.

Kelly is supporting the new album with Forrest Frank for the 29-date The Jesus Generation Tour, which continues through to Aug. 1 at Globe Life Field.

God Must Really Love Me is the followup to Kelly’s 2024 self-titled album, Tori. Stream it in full below below.

Too much Olivia Rodrigo is never enough. That’s certainly the case for late-night owls who tuned into Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday night, June 11, as Rodrigo stuck around for her second performance in as many nights.

Rodrigo performed the world premiere of “stupid song,” which appears on her third and latest album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love.

After her performance Wednesday of “the cure,” Rodrigo toned it all down for “stupid song.” Wearing a white t-shirt, a light pink skirt and high-cut black boots, Rodrigo took her seat at the piano for the fresh cut, with support from a full band and backing singers. Those high notes, you bet she hit them.

Rodrigo is on the promotion trail for you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, which dropped at the stroke of midnight and houses the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 “drop dead.”

She’ll support the collection with a 65-date Unraveled Tour that will hit arenas for multiple night stands in North America, Europe and the U.K. this fall and winter, starting Sept. 25 show at PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford, Conn.

During her interview Wednesday night, Rodrigo explained to Kimmel the wholesome way she decided which tracks to drop ahead of the full release. “It’s really hard,” she said. “Last Thanksgiving, I was with my family, and they live in Wisconsin. It was all of us, aunts and uncles and cousins.

“I turned the lights off really low, because I was really shy, and I was so nervous to see their faces while they heard the songs for the first time,” she continued. “I played them the whole thing, and then they did ballots, and everyone cast their vote on what they thought the single should be … Everyone liked ‘The Cure’ the most. That was the No. 1 that we got.”
