The completely sold out NORTH AMERICAN leg of the stadium tour broke attendance records and grossed over $130 million dollars to date.
All tickets and additional info will be available at TheWeeknd.com/tour.
UN WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME GOODWILL AMBASSADOR ABEL "THE WEEKND" TESFAYE will again partner with the U.N. WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME to contribute funds from the second leg of the tour to the XO HUMANITARIAN FUND, which supports the organization’s response to the unprecedented global hunger crisis. €1 from each ticket sold across EUROPE, £1 in the UK and the $1 equivalent in countries across LATIN AMERICA will go to this important cause. The fund raised money during the NORTH AMERICAN leg of the tour through ticket sales, proceeds from an exclusive tour t-shirt, and a $500,000 donation directly from THE WEEKND. Tour sponsor BINANCE contributed $2 million to the fund. The first grant of $2 million will be going to provide emergency food and nutrition assistance to the most food-insecure regions of ETHIOPIA.
Ticket holders receive souvenir NFTs as well as gain access to an exclusive NFT collection for THE WEEKND’s tour, in collaboration with HXOUSE, a think-center and community incubator for creative entrepreneurs. Five percent of the sales from the upcoming tour NFT collection will be donated to the XO HUMANITARIAN FUND.
