The Weeknd Extends Record-Breaking Stadium Tour

The Weeknd announced the extension of his record-breaking, sold-out After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour, bringing the global superstar to stadiums across Europe, the UK, Mexico, and Brazil throughout 2026. This tour continuation represents a significant moment in music history, as The Weeknd’s After Hours Til Dawn Tour is the biggest R&B tour in history, grossing $635.5 million and selling 5.1 million tickets since its launch in 2022.

Tour Details and Special Guests

The 2026 extension features an impressive lineup of dates beginning in April and running through August. The After Hours Til Dawn stadium tour will now run for 36 dates in total throughout the continent, with new dates announced in Manchester, U.K.; Copenhagen, Denmark; Munich; Lille, France; Barcelona, Spain; and Lisbon, Portugal. British fans will have multiple opportunities to catch the show, with five shows in London at Wembley Stadium, set to take place on August 14, 15, 16, 18 and 19.

Anitta will join The Weeknd for the Mexico and Brazil dates, while Playboi Carti will appear on all Europe and UK shows, ensuring each leg of the tour offers unique collaborative performances.

Charitable Impact and Album Celebration

Beyond entertainment, the tour carries significant humanitarian value. €1 from each ticket sold across Europe, £1 in the UK and the $1 equivalent in Mexico and Brazil will be donated to these two organizations – specifically the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund and the United Nations World Food Programme.

The After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour celebrates The Weeknd’s acclaimed album trilogy — “After Hours” (2020), Dawn FM” (2022) and “Hurry Up Tomorrow” (2025). However, despite this massive touring success, The Weeknd’s album ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’ received zero 2026 Grammy Award nominations after the singer resolved his dispute with the Recording Academy.

Significance for Music Fans

This tour represents a monumental achievement in contemporary music, solidifying The Weeknd’s position as one of the most successful touring artists of the decade. With groundbreaking production values, charitable initiatives, and performances spanning multiple continents, the 2026 extension offers fans worldwide a chance to witness music history. For those eager to attend, tickets have been selling rapidly, reflecting the Canadian artist’s enduring popularity and the tour’s status as a must-see cultural event.
