June 12, 2026 (Manchester, UK) – Last night, diamond-certified global superstar The Weeknd kicked off the 2026 Europe and UK leg of his record-breaking After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour with a sold-out performance at Etihad Stadium in Manchester, UK, playing to nearly 43,000 fans.
The Weeknd emerged to “Baptized in Fear,” accompanied by 30 dancers cloaked in red. He then launched into “Open Hearts,” setting the tone for a visually stunning production featuring a brand-new gold statue (designed by the iconic Hajime Sorayama), sprawling golden ruins, rings suspended across the stage, lasers, flames, and more.
The setlist showcased tracks from Hurry Up Tomorrow, including “Cry For Me” and “São Paulo,” alongside fan favorites from After Hours and Dawn FM. The show also featured some of the biggest hits from across The Weeknd’s catalog, including “Starboy,” “Can’t Feel My Face,” “Blinding Lights,” and more.

The Europe and UK run marks the second time the After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour has crossed the region, following its sold-out 2023 leg, which included stops in Dublin, Stockholm, Madrid, Prague, and more. Notably, the record-breaking tour surpassed $1 billion in global gross last year following the addition of 2026 dates across Europe, the UK, and Latin America, with more than 7.5 million tickets sold across 153 shows, making it the highest-grossing tour ever by a male solo artist. Since launching in 2022, the tour has visited North America, Europe, the UK, Latin America, and Australia, returning for second runs in every territory except Australia.
Most recently, The Weeknd announced the final leg of the tour will take place in Asia this fall with stops in Tokyo, Jakarta, Singapore, Seoul, Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Kuala Lumpur. Originally announced with 11 stadium dates, the Asia run has expanded to 17 shows due to overwhelming demand, with additional dates added in Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, and Hong Kong.

The Europe and UK leg continues tonight with a second sold-out show in Manchester before heading to Copenhagen, Munich, Lille, Paris, Amsterdam, Milan, London, and more, with multi-night runs in nearly every market, including Croke Park, Dublin on Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 August. Highlights include four nights at Stade de France and an unprecedented five-night stand at Wembley Stadium.
This leg of the tour features a brand new 40-foot art sculpture designed by Hajime Sorayama, over 2x the size of the statue showcased in previous legs. First hand-carved from polystyrene and cast in Toyama by Japanese craftsmen, this unique one-of-one sculpture was finished in gold through a meticulous hand-coating process using multiple layers of high-gloss aluminum paint to achieve a luminous metallic surface. Created exclusively for THE WEEKND’s After Hours Til Dawn Tour, the sculpture was further customized with laser illumination embedded in the eyes and theatrical smoke effects emerging from the palm, transforming it into a living stage presence.
As part of the After Hours Til Dawn 2026 Tour, The Weeknd is partnering with Global Citizen to raise funds to provide access to quality education for children around the world through the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. He will also continue to partner with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to provide funds to the XO Humanitarian Fund, which supports the organization’s response to the unprecedented global hunger crisis. €1 from each ticket sold across Europe and £1 in the UK will be donated to these two organizations. Fans will also have the opportunity to earn one pair of free tickets to each tour date by taking action to end extreme poverty with Global Citizen. For more information, visit www.globalcitizen.org.
