The tour surpassed $1 billion in global gross last year following the addition of 2026 dates across Europe, the UK, and Latin America, with more than 7.5 million tickets sold across 153 shows, making it the highest-grossing tour ever by a male solo artist. In 2026 alone, the tour has sold more than 3 million tickets and grossed $440 million.
