The numbers

The run pulled over 1.7 million fans across four continents — 54 dates in the US/Canada, 21 in Europe, 13 in Oceania and 10 in Latin America. The North American leg alone brought in **71.8 million** from 31 dates and 693,000 tickets. It closed on **5 September 2026** with a sold-out **43,500-capacity** show at Toronto's Rogers Centre, grossing around 5 million on the night.

From 350-cap rooms to stadiums
