The Weeknd announces Asia dates for After Hours Til Dawn tour finale

Abel Makkonen Tesfaye aka The Weeknd is bringing his After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour to Asia for one last time.

The 11-date run across seven cities marks the closing leg of a tour that has grossed over US$1 billion across 153 shows and 7.5 million tickets sold, making it the highest-grossing tour ever by a male solo artist.

In 2023, The Weeknd was named the most popular musician on the planet by Guinesss World Records, having gained the most monthly listeners on Spotify and also became the first artist to reach 100 million streams on the platform.

He’s also pocketed four Grammy Awards, with the most recent being 2022’s Best Melodic Rap Performance for the track ‘Hurricane’ (with Kanye West and Lil Baby).

This particular tour also took home Tour of the Year at the 2026 iHeartRadio Awards and Best R&B Tour at the Pollstar Awards.

Japanese hip hop duo Creepy Nuts and DJ ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U will also be joining on select shows across the region.
