The Weeknd concert chronology

The After Hours Til Dawn Tour,[1] previously titled The After Hours Tour, is the ongoing seventh concert tour by Canadian singer the Weeknd, in support of his fourth and fifth studio albums, After Hours (2020) and Dawn FM (2022).[2][3][4] The tour, which primarily visits stadiums, commenced its first leg on July 14, 2022, at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The tour visited North America, Europe and Latin America between 2022 and 2023 and is set to visit Oceania in 2024.

The tour was originally only in support of After Hours, set to take place in arenas, and set to begin on June 11, 2020, in Vancouver and to conclude on November 16 in London. However, due to concerns from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, all of the original dates were postponed twice (first to 2021 and then to early 2022) before being cancelled in favor of an all-stadium tour due to arena constraints.[5][6]

American rapper and singer Doja Cat was originally set to perform as the opening act for the North America leg of the tour, but pulled out due to tonsil surgery. She was replaced by Swedish singer Snoh Aalegra, Canadian DJ Kaytranada, who also played on the Europe leg, and American record producer Mike Dean, who played on all legs.[7] Ethiopian singer Chxrry22 was announced as an opening act for the Oceania leg.[8]

In early 2023, an accompanying HBO concert film showcasing the November 27, 2022 show at SoFi Stadium titled The Weeknd: Live at SoFi Stadium was released. This was shortly followed by the release of the musician's first live album Live at SoFi Stadium which showcased the recorded audio of the aforementioned show.

Background

On February 20, 2020, the Weeknd announced through social media that he would be touring North America and Europe later that year in support of his fourth studio album After Hours.[9][10][11] He also revealed that Don Toliver would open for the North American leg, Black Atlass would open for the European leg, and Sabrina Claudio would open for both.[12][13][14] Additional dates were added in Vancouver, Miami, Los Angeles and Toronto on March 3 due to high demand,[15] while an additional date was added in London on the following day,[16] and on March 12 for the Czech Republic.[17]

Due to concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, the tour's promoter, Live Nation Entertainment, announced that all arena tours scheduled to take place in 2020 would be postponed.[18] When asked about the status of his tour during a cover story with Variety in April, the Weeknd stated that the tour would not be cancelled and that he and his team were working on new itinerary.[19] He announced new dates for the tour on May 20, with it being scheduled to commence on June 12, 2021, in Vancouver, and to conclude on November 11 in Berlin.[9][10]

On February 3, 2021, the Weeknd postponed the tour for a second time and revealed that it was now scheduled to begin in January 2022 in Vancouver.[20] He postponed the tour a third time on October 18, and announced that the tour would now begin in the summer of 2022 and would now be held in stadiums due to arena constraints.[5] He also revealed the tour's new name as a result of his decision to incorporate elements of Dawn FM, his fifth studio album and follow-up to After Hours. After a small delay due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Weeknd announced the North American leg of the tour on March 3 with Doja Cat as the opening act. Pre-sales for those who purchased a ticket for the Weeknd's previously postponed tours began on March 4. Tickets went on sale for the general public on March 10. An additional date was added to Inglewood on March 11.[6] As a UN Goodwill Ambassador for the World Food Programme (WFP), the Weeknd launched the XO Humanitarian Fund in partnership with the organization. He will donate US$1 from every ticket sold, in addition to a US$500,000 donation, to the WFP.[21]

On May 20, 2022, Doja Cat announced she would no longer be opening for the North American leg due to tonsil surgery.[22] Kaytranada, Snoh Aalegra and Mike Dean were announced as the new openers on June 30.[23] On August 22, 2023, The Weeknd announced tour dates for Australia and New Zealand, with a new opening act, XO-signed Ethiopian singer Chxrry22.[8] The first stop on the tour in the Weeknd's hometown of Toronto at Rogers Centre on July 8, 2022, was forced to be postponed at the last moment due to the 2022 Rogers network outage affecting the venue's operations.[24] It was later rescheduled to September 22, along with a second night in Toronto on September 23.

During his second show in Inglewood at SoFi Stadium on September 3, 2022, the Weeknd abruptly ended the show in the middle of "Can't Feel My Face". After running offstage, he came out a few minutes later and said, "I don't know what just happened when I screamed, but I just lost my voice." He further added, "This is killing me, I don't want to stop the show but I can't give you the concert I want to give you right now. I'm gonna make sure everybody's good; you'll get your money back, I'll do a show real soon for you guys. But I wanted to come out and personally apologize." Fans were stunned following his announcement, reluctant to leave their seats, in confusion, some fans even booing the Weeknd.[25][26] He later issued a statement on social media, "My voice went out during the first song and I'm devastated. Felt it go and my heart dropped. My deepest apologies to my fans here. I promise I'll make it up to you with a new date."[27] On September 6, 2022, the Weeknd announced that "[his] voice is safe and with rest, [he will] be solid and able to bring the show [for which his] TORONTO fans are waiting." He also said that the "LA date is being worked out soon."[28] As of September 7, 2022, the Ticketmaster website included the following message regarding the concert: "The Event Organizer has had to postpone your event. Please hold onto your tickets as they will be valid for the new date." Fans were also sent the same message via email, including the option for refunds if preferred over using the tickets on the rescheduled date. On September 27, the rescheduled show was announced for November 26, with an additional show added for November 27. On November 28, the day after the final show in SoFi Stadium, the Weeknd announced the European and Latin American legs of the tour, with the tour originally scheduled to start at Manchester on June 10, eventually adding extra shows in London, Paris, and Nice on December 2 due to high demand.[29] The Weeknd would go on to add two more shows, announcing a show in Lisbon on January 31, which would start off the European leg on June 6, and another date in London at Wembley Stadium to take place on August 18.[30][31]

On February 2, 2023, the Weeknd announced an HBO concert film showcasing the November 27 show at SoFi Stadium titled The Weeknd: Live at SoFi Stadium, which aired on HBO and streamed on HBO Max on February 25. On March 3, 2023, the Weeknd released Live at SoFi Stadium, his first live album.

The Weeknd announced the now postponed Australian leg of the tour on August 24, originally only having one show in the cities Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland.[32] Due to overwhelming demand, more shows were added in the four cities over August and September, with Brisbane and Auckland having 2 shows, Sydney having 3 shows and Melbourne having 4 shows.[33] However, on November 3, 2023, the Weeknd announced that all shows in Australia and New Zealand were postponed to 2024 due to unforeseen circumstances. "Deeply disappointed but can't wait to be there with you!”[34]

Stage and aesthetic

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."[35] 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."[7] Binance, the tour's sponsor, provided more details of the tour via their non-fungible token (NFT) inspired by the show, saying that the Weeknd "journeys through a cosmic cataclysm that has erupted and plagued the Earth. The devastation is widespread and will most likely continue till dawn."[36]

North American leg

The stage design had 3 stages: the main stage, showcasing a row of destroyed buildings modeled after the Weeknd's hometown of Toronto,[37] 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.[38] 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.[37] 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."[39] Several times during the show, including "Intro", "Alone Again", "The Hills", "Crew Love", "Starboy", "I Feel It Coming", and "Blinding Lights", LED wristbands provided by PixMob to each attendee light up.

European leg

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.[40]

Latin American leg

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 colored with the Sorayama statue, and inflatable moon remain on the stage.[41] 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 autotuned version, with the Weeknd originally wearing a black overcoat hoodie for the first two tracks, until October 7, 2023.[42]

Commercial performance

The tour surpassed over $148 million gross sales and sold more than 1 million tickets in its first leg across North America. According to Variety, the tour generated over $350 million in gross sales by July 2023.[43] The concert in October 4, 2023 in Bogotá was able to cause a surge to the city's economy.[41] A table is shown below of the achievements the Weeknd has achieved in select shows of the After Hours til Dawn Tour.
