Music Shows Radar — Week of Sept. 25, 2026: The Weeknd joins the $1B club, Macklemore's Free Palestine Tour, and nine Jingle Ball lineups
The Weeknd becomes the third headliner past $1 billion on one tour, Macklemore books a Free Palestine Tour after his Ed Sheeran removal, nine Jingle Ball lineups land, and Sept. 25 opens a five-act on-sale day with ticket-ready picks in New York, Los Angeles and Boston.
The week's signal
The Weeknd has become the third headliner to gross $1 billion on a single tour. With 2026 box-office totals reported, "After Hours til Dawn" has added $378 million from 2,669,733 tickets at 48 stadium shows in Latin America and Europe this year, taking its four-year gross to $1.07 billion, Pollstar reports. Taylor Swift's Eras Tour ($2.08 billion) and Coldplay's Music of the Spheres Tour ($1.52 billion) are the only other tours past the line. A final 17-date Asian leg opened Sept. 19 in Japan and runs to Nov. 5.
Sept. 25 is this week's on-sale day. Oasis opens general sales for its 42-show 2027 run, and Brent Faiyaz, Dave Chappelle, HA*ASH and THAO all release tickets the same day. iHeartRadio's Jingle Ball and Hilary Duff sit just behind them: presales Sept. 29, general sales Oct. 2.
Box office and industry
The Weeknd debuts at No. 1 on LIVE75 on a 58,993-ticket average across his final 16 European shows, and sits at No. 4 on Global Concert Pulse on an $8.4 million average per show. Five nights at Wembley Stadium, Aug. 14–19, sold 367,997 tickets for $58.2 million, the top entry this month on Pollstar's Global Live Boxoffice chart for venues above 30,000 capacity. Four nights at Stade de France grossed $47.3 million from 299,578 tickets.
Macklemore has booked his own European run after his removal from Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour. The "Free Palestine Tour" hits Dublin, Paris and London from Oct. 26, with all proceeds going to organizations supporting Palestine, per the tour flyer; he announced it on Instagram on Sept. 25 and said more details would follow. Supporting acts Finneas, Aaron Rowe, Lukas Graham and Beoga left the Loop Tour after he did, and Sheeran apologized to fans for "making mistakes" at his first show since the removal, on Sept. 19.
Luis Miguel is teasing a 2027 tour. The singer posted an image reading "Luis Miguel Tour 2027" with no dates, venues or sale details attached. The benchmark for what a return does: his 2023–24 run played 186 shows in 16 months and grossed $415,849,128 from 2,861,491 tickets, per Pollstar Boxoffice.
