The tour is organized by Live Nation and presented in partnership with Nespresso. The new leg kicks off Monday, April 20, in Mexico City and continues to cities including Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paris, Amsterdam, Milan, Stockholm, and London. Playboi Carti will join all concerts across Europe and the UK. The After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour celebrates The Weeknd’s critically acclaimed album trilogy – After Hours (2020), Dawn FM (2022), and Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025) – and will feature hits spanning his entire career.
The After Hours Til Dawn Tour originally launched in 2022 and has grown to become the biggest R&B tour ever. Over the past three years, it has taken The Weeknd to arenas in North America, Europe, the UK, South America, and Australia.
As part of the After Hours Til Dawn 2026 Tour, The Weeknd is collaborating with Global Citizen to raise funds for the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which aims to provide children worldwide with access to quality education. He is also continuing his partnership with the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) by contributing to the XO Humanitarian Fund, supporting efforts against the ongoing global hunger crisis. For every ticket sold, €1 in Europe (12 SEK in Sweden), £1 in the UK, and the equivalent of $1 in Mexico and Brazil will be donated to these two organizations. Fans will also have the chance to win free tickets at each tour stop by engaging in the fight against extreme poverty through Global Citizen. More information is available at www.globalcitizen.org.
