The Weeknd concert chronology

The After Hours til Dawn Tour[a] is the seventh concert tour by Canadian singer-songwriter the Weeknd. It commenced on July 14, 2022, at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, United States, and is set to conclude on September 6, 2026, at Estádio do Restelo in Lisbon, Portugal. The tour achieved several venue records in Europe and the Americas, and as of 2025, it is one of the most-attended concert tours, as well as the eighth highest-grossing concert tour of all time, earning US$635.5 million within its first 100 concerts.

Designed to promote his fourth studio album, After Hours (2020), the tour was set to run in arena venues from June 11, 2020, in Vancouver, Canada, to November 16 in London, England. However, following the COVID-19 pandemic, they were postponed to 2021 and 2022, respectively, before being cancelled in favour of stadium venues due to the constraint of arenas. The show was continuously revamped to incorporate the release of his fifth and sixth studio albums, Dawn FM (2022) and Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025), respectively. An accompanying concert film and live album, documenting the November 27, 2022, show at SoFi Stadium, were released in 2023.

Background

[edit]

On February 20, 2020, the Weeknd announced through social media plans to tour North America and Europe later that year in support of his fourth studio album, After Hours (2020).[1][2] 88Glam, Sabrina Claudio, and Don Toliver were announced as supporting acts for the tour.[1] The following month, additional concerts were announced in select cities due to demand.[3][4][5] In May 2020, following raising concerns of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns, Live Nation announced plans to postpone all concerts to the following year; rescheduled concerts to commence in June 2021 and conclude in November of the same year.[6] Claudio and Toliver were announced to return as supporting acts, with Toliver only performing for concerts in North America; Black Atlass was announced as co-support for Claudio for European concerts, replacing 88Glam.[7] That November, the National Football League announced the Weeknd would headline the Super Bowl LV halftime show on February 7, 2021.[8] On February 3, 2021, four days prior to the halftime show, the Weeknd and Live Nation announced the tour would be postponed a second time due to the continued concern of the pandemic, with 19 new dates added onto the itinerary for 2022.[9] That October, a third postponement was announced, again for 2022, with venue changes from arenas to stadiums. The Weeknd cited ongoing demand and "constraints of arenas" for the change of venue type.[10][11]

In January 2022, the Weeknd released his fifth studio album, Dawn FM.[12] Two months later, the newly-retitled After Hours til Dawn Tour[a] was announced, with Doja Cat serving as supporting act.[14] That May, Doja Cat withdrew from the tour as supporting act, citing required surgery on her tonsils.[15] The following month, Snoh Aalegra, Mike Dean, and Kaytranada were announced as the new support acts.[16] During the September 3, 2022, concert at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, the Weeknd abruptly ended the show only three songs in, claiming to have lost his voice;[17] he promised a full refund of the concert, and a "real show soon". He subsequently issued a formal apology on his social media accounts.[18] Twenty-four days later, the rescheduled concert was announced, in addition to a second concert at the venue.[19] That November, concerts in Europe and Latin America were announced.[20] Supplemental shows were subsequently announced due to demand.[21][22][23]

On February 2, 2023, the Weeknd announced that a concert film, titled The Weeknd: Live at SoFi Stadium, would premiere on HBO Max on February 25.[24] Seven days later, HBO dropped the trailer for the film, and announced it would air the concert on the network, in addition to the streaming service.[25] A live album Live at SoFi Stadium followed on March 3 of the same year.[26] That August, concerts in Australia and New Zealand were announced to take place between November and December of the same year, with Chxrry22 and Dean serving as supporting acts.[27] Due to demand, additional concerts in Australia were announced;[28] two weeks prior to the November 20 kick off in Brisbane, the dates were postponed to 2024, citing "unforeseen circumstances".[29] In April 2024, it was announced the concerts in New Zealand were cancelled.[30] That August, select concerts in Melbourne and Sydney were announced with Anna Lunoe added as support act, and dates in Brisbane cancelled.[31][32]

On January 31, 2025, the same day his sixth studio album Hurry Up Tomorrow released,[33] concerts in North America were announced, with Dean and Playboi Carti as support acts.[34][35] That September, additional concerts in Europe and Latin America territories were announced for 2026,[36] with Playboi Carti and Anitta announced as supporting acts, respectively.[37] Additional supplementary dates were subsequently announced.[38]

Stage and aesthetic

[edit]

In a press release to Variety, the After Hours til Dawn Tour "will see [the Weeknd's] most ambitious production to date reflecting the creative journey that continues to unfold for both [After Hours and Dawn FM], creating worlds within worlds as we have all been watching unfold in various television performances, music videos and short films bringing these first two pieces of his trilogy to life."[39] The Weeknd's creative director and childhood friend La Mar Taylor explained in an interview with Variety that the tour would be theatrical and conceptual, saying: "There is a linear story between After Hours and Dawn FM, and I think the audience will walk away with different interpretations of the show. To us, that's the whole point."[40] Taylor described the production as a journey "through a cosmic cataclysm that has erupted and plagued the earth. The devastation is widespread and will most likely continue till dawn."[41]

North American leg

[edit]

The stage design had 3 stages: the main stage, showcasing a row of destroyed buildings modeled after the Weeknd's hometown of Toronto,[42] and a screen behind them showing visuals of a futuristic post-apocalyptic skyline; the main stage leads to a catwalk leading into a quadrangular stage, which features an inflatable moon over its edge and also unites the catwalk leading into a circular stage.[43] The show displays the Weeknd performing in all three of these stages, with dancers dressed in red robes which either perform synchronized dance routines or stand motionless.[42] At the start of the show, during "Alone Again" and "Gasoline", he wears a mask which the Los Angeles Times described as "creepy" and makes him resemble "a victim of some botched plastic-surgery procedure."[44] Several times during the show, LED wristbands provided to each attendant by PixMob lit up.

European leg

[edit]
Photo of the stage for the European leg of the tour, consisting of a large inflatable moon and a Hajime Sorayama statue in the middle of the stage.

During the European leg of the tour, the LED screen was removed in order to place more building statues, making the previous skyline fully physical. The ruined chrome city is described by The Guardian as "a vast metallic cityscape" which consists of ruined landmarks such as Toronto's CN Tower and the Empire State Building. The Weeknd's band members play on top of their own individual buildings, with the Weeknd performing half of the setlist wearing a white coat hoodie and his face concealed by an MF Doom-inspired mask, finally removing his mask before "Faith". The first leg's rusty orange destroyed buildings were changed to shiny chrome skyscrapers, with this leg intended to follow Dawn FM's overall theme. The walkway consists of a moon which was present in the first leg of the tour with a Hajime Sorayama statue of the robot present in the 10-year anniversary music video for the titular track of "Echoes of Silence" added in the middle of the stage.[45]

Latin American leg

[edit]

The skyline behind the band members was removed with a 6-meter high LED screen returning from the North American leg to display visuals for specific songs similarly to the first leg of the tour. The buildings remain chrome coloured with the Sorayama statue, and inflatable moon remain on the stage.[46] The Weeknd's outfit was changed to a sleeveless full body camo suit, with his left arm covered in a metallic arm sleeve along with a metallic helmet with a LED visor, which Complex described as "Robocop-like." The show opened with a dark purple skyline as "La Fama" played in a remixed, vocoded version, with the Weeknd originally wearing a black overcoat hoodie for the first two tracks, until October 7, 2023.[47]

Concert synopsis

[edit]

2022

[edit]

As the show begins, dancers appear from below the set's centerpiece. Then, the Weeknd emerges from one of the buildings, with a clear face mask, alongside a car-length coat. The intro begins with what Variety describes as an electro version of the opener from After Hours, "Alone Again". Following this, he comes down the stage with the dancers, where the pace of the tour speeds up, as a new-wave take on "Gasoline", from Dawn FM, plays.[48] During the end of "Gasoline", the clear mask face is taken off, revealing the Weeknd's face, as he grins at the crowd.[44]

The Weeknd continues performing songs from Dawn FM immediately after, as "Sacrifice" and "How Do I Make You Love Me?" come next, which Rolling Stone writes as if the songs were performed to give both After Hours and Dawn FM "their due", referring to the first songs in the set list only being songs from those two albums.[49] After "How Do I Make You Love Me?" the Weeknd's 2015 song, "Can't Feel My Face", begins playing, as the stage gets engulfed in smoke. Following "Can't Feel My Face", he performs his own verse from Kanye West's 2021 song "Hurricane".[50]

2023

[edit]

In 2023, the tour’s visual and physical production was reimagined: towering chrome building sculptures formed a crumbling, post-apocalyptic cityscape in place of the LED skyline used in North America. The aesthetic leaned into dystopian and Gotham-style motifs, with smoke, dramatic lighting, and architectural ruin visuals enhancing the thematic continuity of the After Hours and Dawn FM chapters.[51] During the concerts in Europe, the show retained its theatricality with the Weeknd appearing in a chrome mask that concealed his face for early segments before dramatic removal mid-set, heightening the ritualistic reveal. During Latin American dates, the staging was adjusted: the physical cityscape elements remained, but a large LED wall was installed behind the band to project immersive visual content. Costumes became more experimental: Tesfaye wore a sleeveless camo-style suit combined with a metallic arm sleeve and a LED visor helmet, evoking a sci-fi warrior persona. The mask removal remained a dramatic moment in the performance.[52]

2024

[edit]

With the 2024 shows, the framework established in 2023 carried forward with refinements for stadium environments. Lighting design was adjusted for open-air venues, widening sight-lines and intensifying backlight effects. New material from Hurry Up Tomorrow was integrated into the show, leading to some rearrangement of transitions and staging flow to accommodate newer songs. The mask/reveal concept persisted as a structural dramatic pivot.[52]

2025

[edit]

For the 2025 concerts, the tour had fully evolved into a stadium spectacle emphasizing scale and immersion. Productions featured dramatic set extensions, enhanced lighting rigs, and seamless visual transitions tying together older and newer material. Shows often began with the Weeknd masked, peeling it off at climactic points in the performance to highlight the contrast between persona and artist. In some concerts, the removal carried symbolic weight, underscored by gestures and declarations of identity onstage.[53] The staging embraced maximalism: sweeping runways into the crowd, large LED arrays, choreographed theatrical cues, dynamic costume contrasts, pyrotechnics, and carefully timed reveal moments combined performance, narrative, and visual artistry into a cinematic experience.[54]

Philanthropy

[edit]

In March 2022, the Weeknd launched the XO Humanitarian Fund in collaboration with the World Food Programme (WFP) in an effort to bring 44 million "back from the brink of famine". As part of this effort, he donated US$500,000 into the fund, and pledged to donate US$1 per every ticket sold from the tour.[69] That June, Binance announced they were donating US$2 million to the Fund,[70] and by November, it was reported US$5 million had been raised and presented to the WFP.[71] In April 2024, via the foundation, he pledged US$2 million to the WFP in an effort to assist Gaza on the ongoing war within the country.[72] In January of the following year, the Weeknd donated US$1 million in relief funds to Los Angeles wildfire relief following the Southern California wildfires that same month;[73] he also teamed up with Global Citizen, and pledged US$1 from every ticket told in his recently announced concert dates to support vulnerable children in various communities.[74]

After Hours til Dawn Tour

View on Grokipedia
from Grokipedia
The After Hours til Dawn Tour is the seventh headlining concert tour by Canadian singer-songwriter The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye), launched in 2022 to support his fourth studio album After Hours (2020) and fifth studio album Dawn FM (2022), with the 2025 North American leg incorporating material from the sixth album Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025).[1][2] Originally announced on February 20, 2020, as the After Hours Tour with arena dates beginning June 11, 2020, in Vancouver, Canada, the production was postponed twice due to the COVID-19 pandemic—first to summer 2021 on May 20, 2020, and then to January 2022 on February 3, 2021—before being reimagined as a stadium tour and renamed After Hours til Dawn.[3][4][5] The tour opened on July 14, 2022, at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (with the originally planned Toronto opener rescheduled to September due to weather), and has since encompassed over 100 stadium performances across North America, Europe, Latin America, and Australia, produced by Live Nation with elaborate scenic elements including a giant "sexy robot" statue, masked performers, and thematic transitions between the albums' aesthetics. In September 2025, additional dates were announced for 2026 in Mexico, Brazil, Europe, and the UK.[6][7][8][9] Special guests have varied by leg, including Doja Cat and Kaytranada in 2022, and Playboi Carti alongside Mike Dean for the 2025 dates (with Playboi Carti absent from Los Angeles shows).[10][2] As of August 2025, the tour had grossed $635.5 million from 102 shows and 5.1 million tickets sold, establishing it as the highest-grossing R&B/hip-hop tour in history and the first by a Black artist to exceed 4 million tickets sold in 28 years, surpassing benchmarks set by Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour (2023) and Bruno Mars' 24K Magic World Tour (2017–2018).[11]

Background

Announcement and development

The After Hours til Dawn Tour was conceived in late 2021 as an ambitious stadium production, evolving from the originally planned arena tour for The Weeknd's 2020 album After Hours. This upgrade aimed to create a larger-scale experience that would blend the neon-drenched, cinematic visuals of the After Hours era with the retro-futuristic, 1970s-inspired theme of his forthcoming album Dawn FM, released on January 7, 2022. The decision to expand the tour's scope came amid ongoing pandemic delays, allowing for a more immersive narrative that connected the two albums' conceptual storylines of personal downfall and redemption.[12][13] The tour's official announcement occurred on March 3, 2022, through The Weeknd's social media channels and a Live Nation press release, unveiling the initial North American leg with 21 stadium dates beginning July 8, 2022, at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario. This leg was positioned as the launch of a global stadium trek, with tickets going on sale shortly after a presale for previous After Hours tour buyers, reflecting the heightened anticipation following the arena dates' cancellation and refund. The announcement emphasized the tour's role in promoting both After Hours and Dawn FM, marking a pivotal moment in The Weeknd's career as he transitioned to stadium-level performances.[14][15] Development of the tour involved close collaboration with promoter Live Nation, who handled production logistics, and creative director La Mar Taylor, The Weeknd's longtime collaborator and XO co-founder, who focused on crafting an immersive, theatrical storytelling experience. This partnership ensured the production's technical and artistic alignment, prioritizing spectacle over traditional concert formatting.[16] The tour was planned as one of the largest productions in contemporary pop music, featuring custom stage technology including massive LED screens, automated scenic elements, and a 17-building cityscape set designed by Tait Towers, underscoring its unprecedented scale and investment in visual innovation.[17]

Extensions and additional legs

Following the success of the initial North American leg, The Weeknd announced an extension of the After Hours til Dawn Tour to Europe and Latin America on November 28, 2022, with the new dates commencing on June 10, 2023, at Etihad Stadium in Manchester, United Kingdom.[18] This expansion included 21 European shows across cities such as Stockholm, Amsterdam, and Paris, followed by six performances in Latin American venues in Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Santiago, driven by surging international demand and the tour's alignment with the promotional cycle of Dawn FM.[19] Additional dates were later added in both regions due to rapid ticket sales, underscoring the growing global appeal of the production.[20] The tour's reach expanded further to Australia in August 2024, marking The Weeknd's first major stadium outing in the country since 2017, with the leg announced as a rescheduling of previously postponed 2023 dates amid production adjustments.[21] Kicking off on October 5, 2024, at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, the run featured back-to-back shows there before proceeding to Sydney's Accor Stadium, reflecting sustained fan enthusiasm and the tour's adaptability to incorporate evolving set elements.[22] This addition was motivated by high ticket demand in the region, contributing to the tour's record-breaking status as the highest-grossing R&B outing in history.[23] On January 31, 2025, The Weeknd revealed a new North American leg, positioned as the "final chapter" of the tour and tying into the trilogy narrative encompassing After Hours, Dawn FM, and the forthcoming Hurry Up Tomorrow album.[2] Scheduled to begin on May 9, 2025, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, the 2025 dates spanned major U.S. and Canadian cities including Detroit, Chicago, and Toronto, with Playboi Carti as a special guest.[24] The extension was prompted by ongoing commercial momentum and opportunities to integrate tracks from Hurry Up Tomorrow, enhancing the show's conceptual evolution.[1] High demand and the release of Hurry Up Tomorrow led to a further announcement on September 4, 2025, extending the tour into 2026 with new stadium dates in Mexico, Brazil, Europe, and the United Kingdom, starting April 20, 2026, at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City.[25] This leg included stops in São Paulo, Lisbon, Copenhagen, and London, with Anitta opening select South American shows and additional European dates added in October 2025 due to overwhelming sales.[26] Overall, the extensions were fueled by record attendance figures, the integration of new material to refresh the performance, and expansion of The Weeknd's international fanbase across diverse markets.[23]

Production

Stage design and aesthetics

The stage design for the After Hours til Dawn Tour featured a central rotating stage constructed from three expansive Mag Deck platforms, enabling dynamic 360-degree movement, complemented by two LED-lined runways serving as catwalks and elevated performer lifts and platforms for fluid artist transitions across the performance space.[17] This setup, produced by TAIT, incorporated a post-apocalyptic cityscape aesthetic with 17 custom scenic buildings depicting semi-destroyed structures in orange-red hues, a 30-foot-diameter inflatable moon, and a giant chrome robot statue by Hajime Sorayama positioned on the B-stage runway.[17][27] A massive 180-foot-wide LED wall formed the backdrop, creating a dystopian skyline horizon that synchronized with musical transitions, evolving from the neon-lit, red-tinted vibes of the After Hours era to the 1970s-inspired, ethereal aesthetics of Dawn FM through immersive 3D visuals developed by Sila Sveta and Polina Zakharova.[28][29] The visuals, directed by Loren Barton, integrated with the scenery designed by Es Devlin to evoke a purgatory-like narrative of sin and redemption.[17] The lighting rig comprised over 1,100 fixtures, including strobes, lasers, and integrated projections, programmed by Jason Baeri to enhance the moody, cinematic atmosphere across the stadium.[28][27] Pyrotechnics and fireworks were deployed during high-energy segments like "Heartless," amplifying the chaotic, end-times motif with bursts of fire and smoke.[30] Costume designs evolved with the tour's thematic arc, starting with The Weeknd in signature red suits reminiscent of the After Hours album visuals during early North American shows, shifting to white T-shirt, vest, and pants ensembles in the 2023 European leg to align with Dawn FM's brighter palette, while backup dancers wore synchronized red cloaks for cohesive, ritualistic performances.[31][32] The sound system was a custom stadium configuration provided by Clair Global, ensuring clarity and immersion, with front-of-house engineering handled by Derek Brener to support the tour's expansive production.[33][34]

Support acts

The After Hours til Dawn Tour featured a rotating lineup of support acts across its various legs, selected to complement The Weeknd's blend of R&B, pop, and electronic influences. Mike Dean, a longtime producer and collaborator who has worked on multiple Weeknd albums including Dawn FM and Hurry Up Tomorrow, served as a consistent opener throughout most dates, delivering guitar performances and instrumental sets that highlighted his production ties to the headliner's sound.[35][36][37] For the 2022 North American leg, the tour launched with DJ and producer Kaytranada providing opening sets in Toronto, followed by Mike Dean on guitar, establishing an energetic electronic and hip-hop-infused prelude to the main performance.[38][39] R&B singer Snoh Aalegra joined as an opener on select dates, bringing soulful vocals that aligned with the tour's thematic depth from After Hours and Dawn FM.[38][40] The 2023 European leg retained Kaytranada for DJ sets and Mike Dean for guitar across all dates, maintaining continuity in the electronic and production-heavy openings that resonated with the stadium audiences in the UK, Ireland, and continental Europe.[41][42][43] In the 2023 Latin American leg, Mike Dean continued his role with guitar performances, providing a familiar production synergy, though specific additional openers varied by local markets without a unified announcement.[44][45] The 2024 Australian and New Zealand extension included Mike Dean alongside emerging R&B artist Chxrry22 for vocal openings and local DJ Anna Lunoe for Sydney-specific electronic sets, adding regional flavor to the high-energy starts.[46][47][48] The 2025 North American leg featured rapper Playboi Carti as the primary opener with high-energy rap sets, paired with Mike Dean as a special guest on guitar, emphasizing a hip-hop edge that echoed collaborations like those on Dawn FM.[49][50][51][52] Looking ahead to the announced 2026 international extension, Playboi Carti is set to support the European and UK dates with rap performances, while Brazilian singer Anitta will open the Latin American shows in Mexico and Brazil, incorporating pop and regional appeal; Mike Dean is expected to reprise his guitar role for production cohesion.[53][9]

Leg-specific production variations

The production of the After Hours til Dawn Tour underwent several adaptations across its legs to accommodate evolving artistic visions, venue types, and logistical demands, while maintaining the core post-apocalyptic aesthetic. The initial 2022 North American leg featured a foundational stage design centered on a crumbling cityscape, constructed with 17 custom-built scenic buildings equipped with performer lifts and platforms, complemented by three Mag Deck stages and two LED-lined runways for dynamic performer movement.[17] This setup emphasized eroded, dystopian structures to evoke the thematic isolation of the After Hours and Dawn FM albums, with automation handled via the TAIT Navigator platform for seamless transitions.[17] For the 2023 European and Latin American legs, the production was reimagined with a chrome refinish applied to the building sculptures, introducing a more reflective, metallic sheen to enhance visual impact in larger open-air stadiums. A custom skyline backdrop was added across the main stage, alongside a 24-foot automated chrome robot sculpture designed by Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama, known as "Sexy Robot," which served as a central focal point during performances. Additionally, a 30-foot-diameter inflatable moon was incorporated, automated via a specialized inflation cart, to symbolize the "dawn" motif and adapt to varying lighting conditions in international venues. These elements built upon the original cityscape while incorporating automation for the robot's movements, ensuring reliability across diverse climates and time zones.[17][54][55] The 2024 Australian leg retained much of the 2023 production framework, including the chrome elements and Sorayama robot, to deliver a consistent spectacle in outdoor stadiums like Marvel Stadium in Melbourne and Accor Stadium in Sydney, where the expansive setup was praised for its scale despite potential weather variability. Reviews highlighted the production's robustness for high-capacity crowds, with no major alterations reported beyond standard venue-specific rigging adjustments.[56][57] In the 2025 North American leg, the production debuted never-before-seen elements tied to the release of the album Hurry Up Tomorrow, including updated lighting and video systems supplied by Solotech to integrate new visuals from the album's thematic narrative. A key innovation was an LED screen wind-bracing system co-developed with TwentyThree, featuring a rail mechanism installed during stage raising to improve setup efficiency, reduce truck space, and enhance safety in stadium environments prone to wind. This adaptation emphasized futuristic and immersive projections, evolving the cityscape into a more narrative-driven experience while preserving pyrotechnic and aerial elements from prior legs for U.S. stadium spectacles.[58][1] The planned 2026 international leg, extending to Latin America and Europe, is expected to build on the 2025 innovations, though specific production details remain undisclosed as of late 2025; announcements indicate a focus on sustainability in logistics to support the tour's global scale.[26]

Concert synopsis

2022 leg

The 2022 leg of the After Hours til Dawn Tour opened with a "Dawn FM" intro video that evoked the album's radio broadcast theme, seamlessly transitioning into the performance of "Gasoline" as The Weeknd emerged on stage. This initial sequence immersed audiences in the conceptual narrative linking the Dawn FM and After Hours albums, with the singer donning a signature clear face mask and elongated coat to enhance the dystopian aesthetic.[59] Mid-show, the production reached a peak spectacle during "In Your Eyes," featuring aerial dancers suspended above the stage, which transitioned into the high-energy rendition of "Blinding Lights" accompanied by full LED screen activation and pulsating lights that transformed the stadium into a vibrant, apocalyptic dance floor. This segment highlighted the tour's blend of theatrical elements and live energy, drawing on the albums' themes of isolation and redemption. The Weeknd engaged the crowd through monologues reflecting on personal struggles, such as vocal challenges and emotional turmoil, directly tying them to the introspective lyrics of his recent releases.[59] The finale featured an emotional encore of "Save Your Tears," where The Weeknd prompted massive crowd sing-alongs, fostering a communal catharsis amid the show's themes of heartbreak and resilience. Overall, the concerts maintained a runtime of approximately 2 hours, delivering 28-32 songs with meticulous pacing that ensured seamless transitions from video projections to live segments, balancing slower, ruminative tracks with explosive hits.[59]

2023–2024 legs

The 2023–2024 legs of the After Hours til Dawn Tour marked a significant expansion into international markets, beginning with the European stadium run in June and July 2023, followed by Latin American dates in September and October 2023, and culminating in the Australian leg in October 2024 after a postponement from the previous year. These performances refined the tour's core post-apocalyptic aesthetic, adapting the futuristic cityscape stage design—including a recurring rotating robot statue and masked dancers—to vast outdoor venues while emphasizing a career-spanning setlist that blended tracks from Dawn FM (2022), After Hours (2020), and earlier albums like Starboy (2016). The shows maintained high production values, including immersive LED visuals and synchronized lighting, but incorporated regional crowd dynamics to heighten engagement, resulting in extended encores driven by audience chants across multiple nights.[60][61] In Europe, performances at venues like Manchester's Etihad Stadium and London's Wembley Stadium responded to fervent fan chants, prompting longer encores that often revisited hits like "Blinding Lights" and "Save Your Tears," fostering a sense of communal catharsis in post-pandemic gatherings. These adaptations highlighted the tour's evolution from its North American debut, with greater emphasis on live instrumentation to suit the continent's diverse audiences.[60][62] The Latin American leg amplified the tour's high-energy vibe, particularly in cities like Mexico City and Bogotá, where enthusiastic crowds led to improvised extensions of "Starboy," featuring extended remixes with pulsating beats and laser effects that mirrored the region's vibrant nightlife culture. Cultural nods, such as Spanish-language introductions for songs and localized shoutouts, bridged linguistic gaps and intensified fan connection, turning stadiums like Foro Sol into electric spaces of shared euphoria. This phase underscored the tour's global adaptability and set attendance records.[63][18] Australia's 2024 dates at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne and Accor Stadium in Sydney symbolized renewal after delays due to unforeseen circumstances in 2023. To accommodate larger field setups, production scaled up projections across wider screens, ensuring visuals of dawn-breaking horizons reached farther into the crowds. These shows, rescheduled following postponements, emphasized the tour's resilience and drew over 200,000 attendees across four nights.[56][21] Throughout these legs, the tour saw increased improvisation, with The Weeknd often pausing for ad-libbed interactions and runtime extending to approximately two hours to weave in fan-requested songs solicited via social media platforms like Instagram and X. This flexibility allowed for spontaneous medleys and dedications, enhancing replay value through fan-shared clips. Thematically, the production shifted toward motifs of unity and hope, amplified post-pandemic, with "dawn" visuals—featuring rising suns and ethereal light transitions—serving as metaphors for collective healing and forward momentum across continents.[64][65]

2025 leg

The 2025 leg of the After Hours til Dawn Tour marked the culmination of The Weeknd's trilogy of albums—After Hours (2020), Dawn FM (2022), and Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025)—with a North American stadium run emphasizing the retirement of his long-standing alter ego persona. The show opened with "The Abyss" from Hurry Up Tomorrow, blending dystopian synth-rock elements with masked dancers on a post-apocalyptic stage set featuring projections of a decaying cityscape and a towering female robot sculpture, setting a narrative arc of personal rebirth and closure.[66][67] This opening transitioned seamlessly into a medley incorporating Dawn FM tracks like "Wake Me Up" and After Hours staples such as "After Hours" and "Heartless," creating a career-spanning progression from brooding introspection to euphoric release over approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes. Key moments included high-energy collaborations, such as Playboi Carti's onstage appearance for "Timeless" during select performances, and intimate fan interactions like group sing-alongs to "Out of Time" from the extended catwalk reaching the audience barrier.[66][68][69] Enhanced storytelling was achieved through dynamic projections narrating the alter ego's journey from hedonism to heroism, supported by minimal costume changes—including a reveal of The Weeknd's unmasked grin—and heavy use of lasers, pyro, and a cross-shaped ramp system for fluid movement across the stage. The pacing built gradually with 35 to 41 songs, starting with somber R&B romance in the mid-section (e.g., "Sacrifice" and "Can't Feel My Face") before exploding into synth-pop anthems like "Blinding Lights" and "Save Your Tears" for the finale, fostering a sense of communal catharsis in venues holding up to 70,000 attendees.[66][67][70]

Commercial performance

Box office earnings

The After Hours til Dawn Tour achieved significant box office success, grossing $635.5 million from 5.1 million tickets sold across all legs as of August 2025.[11] This figure marked it as the highest-grossing R&B tour in history, surpassing previous records set by artists like Beyoncé and Bruno Mars.[11] Breakdowns by leg highlight the tour's strong performance in key markets: the 2022 North American leg grossed $148.4 million from over 1 million tickets, while the 2023 European leg earned $158 million across 30 shows, with ongoing cumulative updates reported by Pollstar reflecting additional revenue from subsequent legs.[71][72] Revenue primarily stemmed from ticket sales, with an average price of around $125 per ticket. The tour ranked among the top 10 highest-grossing concert tours of all time, establishing new benchmarks for R&B artists in terms of financial scale and global reach. Projections indicate the total could approach $700 million by the end of the 2025 leg.[73]

Attendance figures and venue records

The After Hours til Dawn Tour has drawn a total attendance of 5.1 million fans across more than 100 shows as of August 2025.[11] This figure positions it among the most-attended concert tours in history, with stadium performances averaging over 50,000 attendees per show overall.[74] The 2023 European leg achieved the tour's highest average crowds, exceeding 53,000 per concert across 30 dates that sold more than 1.6 million tickets.[75] The tour set multiple venue records, including a new benchmark for end-stage configurations at Wembley Stadium in London, where 87,000 tickets were sold for the August 18, 2023, performance—the highest single-show attendance for such a setup at the venue.[76] Additional records were established at other major sites, such as London Stadium, where the tour claimed the highest single-night crowd of 80,000 during its July 2023 run.[77] Sell-out trends have been consistent, with the tour operating at approximately 95% capacity overall, driven by strong demand that led to additional dates in key markets.[11] For the 2025 North American leg, presales and general onsales depleted rapidly; for instance, additional shows were added at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles due to overwhelming interest, resulting in seven consecutive sold-out nights totaling over 200,000 attendees and setting a record for the most shows by a male artist at the venue.[78][79] In the 2024 Australian leg, stadiums like Marvel Stadium (capacity 55,000) hosted the shows.[80] As of November 2025, the tour continues with additional international dates scheduled for 2026, potentially increasing the totals further.

Set lists

2022 North American leg

The 2022 North American leg of the After Hours til Dawn Tour featured a consistent setlist of 29 songs across all 21 stadium dates, blending tracks from Dawn FM (2022), After Hours (2020), and earlier albums, with no major alterations during the run.[70][14] The performance structure was divided into acts that narrated a thematic journey through the Weeknd's discography, beginning with Dawn FM-heavy sequences evoking a radio broadcast aesthetic, transitioning to an After Hours medley of high-energy hits, and concluding with an encore of classic tracks.[81] Act 1 focused primarily on Dawn FM material, opening with atmospheric interludes leading into key singles and establishing the tour's futuristic, liminal tone. This section included live premieres of "Take My Breath" and "Out of Time," marking their first performances on the tour.[82] Songs like "Can't Feel My Face" bridged the new material with fan-favorite pop anthems from Beauty Behind the Madness (2015). Act 2 shifted to an After Hours medley, incorporating synth-driven tracks and collaborations that heightened the production's dramatic visuals of urban decay and neon lights. Hits such as "Blinding Lights" and "Heartless" anchored this portion, delivering peak moments of crowd engagement. The encore drew from earlier classics, closing with "Save Your Tears" as the finale, reinforcing the tour's emphasis on emotional vulnerability and redemption arcs from the artist's XO era.[81] The standard setlist, in typical order, was as follows:

2023 European leg

The 2023 European leg of the After Hours til Dawn Tour featured a setlist of 27 songs tailored for stadium performances, emphasizing a blend of hits from After Hours, Dawn FM, and earlier albums, with adjustments to engage regional audiences. The show opened with a brief instrumental intro from "Dawn FM," setting a cinematic tone before transitioning into the main set, and closed with the anthemic "Blinding Lights" as the finale, leaving crowds energized after approximately two hours.[84][41] A key addition was a remix of "Die For You" incorporating orchestral backing, which heightened the emotional intensity during its mid-set placement and drew on the song's renewed popularity following its 2023 remix release. This version replaced earlier iterations from the 2022 leg, providing a symphonic layer that complemented the tour's elaborate production. The performance of "Starboy" was notably extended in UK shows, featuring an elongated instrumental breakdown and crowd interaction to cater to local fans' familiarity with the track from Starboy.[85] Over the 18 dates spanning June to August, the setlist saw minor variations, such as the occasional insertion of "Wanderlust" in place of standard transitions, allowing for subtle nods to deeper cuts while maintaining core structure. These swaps occurred in about half the shows, often in response to audience energy. Additionally, the full band arrangement of "Gasoline" debuted during this leg, marking its first live rendition with amplified instrumentation and serving as a high-energy pivot in the Dawn FM segment.[86] The representative setlist from the European leg (average from Wembley Stadium, August 18, 2023) was as follows: Song played from tape

The performance opened with "LA FAMA" (ROSALÍA cover), providing a collaborative nod to Latin music influences.[88] The set closed with "Blinding Lights," serving as the anthemic finale.[70] Spanning 9 dates from September 26 to October 19 across Mexico (Monterrey and Mexico City), Colombia (Bogotá), Brazil (Rio de Janeiro and [São Paulo](/page/São Paulo)), Argentina (Buenos Aires), and Chile (Santiago), the leg adapted to logistical and environmental challenges.[18] The representative setlist from the leg was as follows:

2024 Australian leg

The 2024 Australian leg of the After Hours til Dawn Tour marked the production's debut in Oceania, following the cancellation of scheduled 2023 dates due to production delays. Consisting of four stadium performances—two at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne on October 5 and 6, and two at Accor Stadium in Sydney on October 22 and 23—the shows drew large crowds and featured a setlist of approximately 25 core songs drawn from The Weeknd's extensive catalog, emphasizing high-energy anthems and atmospheric tracks to resonate with the local audience.[89][21] The setlist opened with "Wake Me Up," setting a cinematic tone, followed by "After Hours." Key inclusions highlighted The Weeknd's evolution, such as the Dawn FM tracks "Take My Breath," "Sacrifice," and "How Do I Make You Love Me?," alongside earlier hits including "Can't Feel My Face" and "Starboy." A standout moment was the performance of "I Feel It Coming," the collaborative track with Daft Punk from Starboy, which energized audiences with its smooth R&B vibe and was positioned mid-set for a climactic buildup.[90][91] Further adaptations reflected the tour's global progression, incorporating atmospheric elements like the interlude "Too Late" and extensions such as "Heartless / Repeat After Me (Interlude)." Later segments built intensity with "Out of Time," "Die For You," and "Blinding Lights," culminating in encores of "The Hills" and "Popular" to close on a high note. Minor variations occurred across shows, potentially influenced by outdoor conditions, though no major cuts were reported; the structure maintained a balance of introspective ballads and dance-oriented numbers tailored for stadium spectacle.[90][92] The representative setlist from the Melbourne show on October 5, 2024, was as follows:
  1. Without a Warning (interlude)
  2. Wake Me Up
  3. After Hours
  4. Too Late (interlude)

2025 North American leg

The 2025 North American leg of the After Hours til Dawn Tour marked the final major extension of the production, integrating material from The Weeknd's sixth studio album, Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025), to complete the conceptual trilogy alongside After Hours (2020) and Dawn FM (2022).[93] This leg launched on May 9, 2025, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, and featured over 25 stadium dates across the United States and Canada, with performances continuing through major venues such as Ford Field in Detroit, Soldier Field in Chicago, and Rogers Stadium in Toronto.[94] As of November 15, 2025, 22 dates had been completed, supported by opening acts Playboi Carti and Mike Dean, emphasizing high-energy collaborations and visual spectacle tied to the trilogy's narrative of personal transformation.[69][95] The setlist for this leg expanded to approximately 40 songs, though core performances centered on 28 key tracks that highlighted the trilogy's evolution, blending fan favorites with fresh material to create a cohesive storytelling arc.[93] Structured in three acts mirroring the albums' themes—dark introspection in Act One (After Hours), liminal reflection in Act Two (Dawn FM), and redemptive closure in Act Three (Hurry Up Tomorrow)—the show opened with atmospheric tracks like "The Abyss" and "Wake Me Up," transitioned through high-octane hits such as "Starboy" and "Can't Feel My Face," and built to an emotional crescendo with newer compositions.[96] New inclusions from Hurry Up Tomorrow featured prominently, including live debuts of "Timeless" (performed as a collaboration with Playboi Carti), "Opening Night," "Baptized in Fear," and the title track "Hurry Up Tomorrow," which underscored the album's themes of urgency and resolution.[93] Additionally, "Double Fantasy" (featuring Future, from 2023's The Idol soundtrack) received a live performance, adding collaborative dynamism.[97] A notable highlight was a medley drawing from the House of Balloons era (2011), weaving in early career staples like "Wicked Games" and "Call Out My Name" to bridge The Weeknd's origins with the trilogy's finale, evoking nostalgia amid the production's futuristic staging.[93] The leg closed each show with "Faith," a poignant Dawn FM track repurposed as the emotional anchor, symbolizing belief amid the tour's overarching redemption narrative and leaving audiences with a sense of culmination.[98] This updated format not only celebrated the trilogy's completion but also allowed for variations in guest appearances and transitions, maintaining the tour's reputation for immersive, album-spanning storytelling.[69] The representative setlist from the opening show on May 9, 2025, at State Farm Stadium included:
  1. The Abyss
  2. Wake Me Up
  3. After Hours
  4. Opening Night
  5. Starboy
  6. Heartless
  7. Faith
  8. Take My Breath
    ... (continuing to 40 songs, including Blinding Lights as a highlight)[98][99]

2026 international leg

The setlist for the 2026 international leg of the After Hours til Dawn Tour has not been officially finalized or announced as of November 2025, but it is projected to align closely with the structure established during the 2025 North American leg, featuring approximately 27 songs that emphasize The Weeknd's album trilogy of After Hours (2020), Dawn FM (2022), and Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025).[100][26] The performance narrative arcs through the trilogy's themes of nightlife, introspection, and redemption, incorporating atmospheric openers like "The Abyss" and "Wake Me Up," mid-show hits such as "Starboy," "Take My Breath," and "Can't Feel My Face," and climactic tracks including "Blinding Lights" and "Save Your Tears."[93][68] This leg, produced by Live Nation and sponsored by Nespresso, comprises over 30 dates across Latin America, Europe, and the UK, commencing on April 20, 2026, with three consecutive shows at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City, Mexico, followed by performances in Rio de Janeiro (April 26 at Estádio Nilton Santos) and São Paulo, Brazil (April 30 and May 1 at Estádio MorumBIS).[100][101] The European portion begins in June 2026, including double dates in Manchester, UK (June 11–12 at Etihad Stadium), Copenhagen, Denmark (June 19–20 at Parken Stadium), and other major venues like Stade de France in Paris and Johan Cruijff ArenA in Amsterdam, with the tour concluding on September 6, 2026, at Estádio do Restelo in Lisbon, Portugal.[100][26] Special guests include Anitta for the Latin American dates and Playboi Carti for select European shows, potentially allowing for collaborative performances integrated into the set, such as during "Lost in the Fire" or similar tracks from prior legs.[102][103] Anticipated variations may include regional adaptations to enhance the trilogy's thematic flow, with the encore typically featuring remixed versions of "Sacrifice" and "Blinding Lights" to close on an energetic note, maintaining the tour's signature high-production visuals and stage design.[93][70] As the tour's global finale, this leg is expected to highlight fan-favorite medleys and live debuts from Hurry Up Tomorrow, though exact changes will be confirmed closer to the opening shows.[9]

Variations and notes

Throughout the After Hours Til Dawn Tour, setlists featured minor variations to adapt to different legs and performance dynamics, with "Wanderlust" commonly swapped for "Kiss Land" during the 2023 legs to enhance pacing and flow.[104] "Snowchild" was omitted from all shows due to its intense vocal demands, making it one of the few tracks from After Hours absent from the live repertoire.[104] Special moments included a one-off cover of Michael Jackson's "Dirty Diana" during a 2025 performance, as well as holiday variants incorporated into December shows for seasonal flair, confirmed through fan recordings and official tour documentation.[105]

Tour dates

Completed shows

The After Hours til Dawn Tour's completed shows span multiple legs from 2022 to 2025, encompassing stadium performances across North America, Europe, Latin America, Australia, and additional North American dates.

One show in Prague, 2023, was held in an arena due to venue availability.[106]

Cancellations and incidents

Cancelled shows

The After Hours til Dawn Tour experienced a limited number of permanent cancellations, primarily attributed to unforeseen environmental and logistical challenges. In January 2025, the scheduled performance at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, on January 25 was cancelled due to devastating wildfires affecting the Los Angeles area, which necessitated emergency resource allocation and posed safety risks for attendees and crew.[109] This decision also led to a delay in the release of The Weeknd's album Hurry Up Tomorrow, with ticket holders receiving automatic refunds through Ticketmaster.[110] Later in the year, on June 24, 2025, the July 4 show at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, was cancelled citing production load-in issues, just days before the event.[111] The subsequent July 5 performance at the same venue proceeded as planned, but no rescheduling was announced for the missed date, and refunds were processed via Ticketmaster for affected fans.[112] These incidents highlight common tour disruptions from weather-related disasters and operational hurdles, though no health-related cancellations occurred in this tour. As of November 2025, no additional major cancellations have been reported for the ongoing tour or the planned 2026 international extension. Refunds for all cancelled events were handled efficiently through official ticketing platforms, minimizing financial disruption for fans.[113]

Postponed shows

The After Hours til Dawn Tour encountered several instances of postponements, all of which were rescheduled and ultimately performed without further delays. These delays were attributed to technical issues, health concerns, and unforeseen circumstances, with announcements made through official channels and existing tickets honored for the new dates.[114] The opening show in Toronto on July 8, 2022, was postponed due to a nationwide Rogers Communications network outage affecting operations, and rescheduled to July 21, 2022, at Rogers Centre.[114] During the second North American show at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on September 3, 2022, The Weeknd lost his voice, leading to an early end; the date was rescheduled to November 26, 2022, with an additional show added on November 27.[115] In November 2023, the Australian leg, originally scheduled for late 2023, was postponed to October 2024 due to unforeseen circumstances before being briefly announced as cancelled in April 2024 and then rescheduled later that month. The shows took place as planned in Melbourne (October 5–6) and Sydney (October 22–23).[116] These adjustments ensured minimal disruption to the tour's overall itinerary while prioritizing safety and operational feasibility.

Notable incidents

During the North American leg of the After Hours til Dawn Tour on September 3, 2022, The Weeknd encountered severe vocal difficulties at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California, forcing him to abruptly end the performance after just three songs, including "Can't Feel My Face," during which his voice faltered. He addressed the 70,000 attendees emotionally, apologizing and explaining that he had "lost [his] voice out of nowhere," resulting in a shortened set that left fans disappointed but highlighted the physical demands of the tour.[117][118] In July 2022, a tragic incident occurred at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where a 32-year-old fan, Hugo Sanchez, fell from an escalator rail approximately 40 feet to his death during the concert on July 14, prompting a police investigation but allowing the show to continue without interruption. The event underscored safety concerns at large-scale stadium performances, though no further disruptions were reported.[119] During the 2023 European leg, no major in-show disruptions were documented, though the tour's high-energy productions, including elaborate visuals and choreography, occasionally led to brief pauses for technical adjustments, maintaining smooth executions across venues like the Stade de France in Paris.[1] On October 5, 2024, at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia, as part of the tour's Australian extension, a stage invader rushed toward The Weeknd mid-performance, grabbing him in an apparent attempt at a hug, which visibly startled the artist and triggered an immediate security response to remove the individual. The brief altercation caused no injuries, and the concert resumed promptly, with The Weeknd continuing his setlist uninterrupted.[120][121] The 2025 North American leg featured a surprise moment of media attention during The Weeknd's Toronto shows at Rogers Centre, where ongoing speculation about his past collaborations with Drake fueled fan interactions, including calls for reconciliation amid their rumored feud, amplifying buzz around the performances.[122]
