The Weeknd Announces 2022 North American Tour

By Nina Corcoran

The Weeknd has announced a 2022 tour in support of his most recent albums, Dawn FM and 2020’s After Hours . The first leg of the trek will see him perform concerts in stadia across the United States and Canada. The tour will feature special guest Doja Cat . According to a press release, there will be more concerts in Mexico, South America, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East announced soon. Find the dates for the first leg below.

The Weeknd has also partnered with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to launch the XO Humanitarian Fund, Powered by World Food Programme. The fund works toward ending the global hunger crisis. The Weeknd has donated $500,000 to the fund, according to a press release, and plans to contribute an additional $1 from each tour ticket sold. “The goal with this fund is to provide immediate life-saving support to people who are on the brink of starvation,” the Weeknd said in a statement. “I’m so thankful to have WFP as a partner and to further expand our reach to those who need it most.”

Last year, the Weeknd postponed his tour for the third time due to the pandemic . When explaining his reasons for doing so, the Weeknd promised the new version of the tour would be “something bigger and special for you which requires stadiums.”

After announcing the end of his After Hours era with “ Take My Breath ” last summer, the Weeknd revealed Dawn FM just a few days before its arrival last month. Swedish House Mafia remixed “ Sacrifice ” for an “Alternate World” edition of the project, which also included the joint track “ Moth to a Flame ” and Agents of Time’s remix of “Take My Breath.”

The Weeknd has been a busy collaborator in recent months, as well, appearing on new tracks with FKA twigs , Post Malone , and Rosalía , plus a posthumous release from Aaliyah . He unveiled his new immersive television special, The Weeknd x The Dawn FM Experience , through Prime Video in February

The Weeknd has announced the second leg of his headline After Hours Til Dawn tour, with 2023 UK and European dates including London , Manchester and Dublin.

The Blinding Lights hitmaker will be lighting up the London Stadium, Eithad Stadium and Marlay Park respectively, and the singer will be supported by acts including Grammy award winner Kaytranda and Mike Dean as part of the tour.

The North American first leg has already broken attendance records and grossed over $130 million (£107 million) to date, while raising $5 million (£4.1 million) for the XO Humanitarian Fund.

The tour is in support of The Weeknd’s After Hours album released in 2020 and his Dawn FM album released this year, with the original After Hours dates pushed back multiple times due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

After Hours had a hugely successful run in the UK Albums chart, peaking at number one, and producing top 10 singles Heartless and Save Your Tears, as well global number one hit Blinding Lights, which ranks as the sixth most streamed song of all time in the UK.

His Dawn FM album, which also features on the tour, hit number one in the UK following its release earlier in the year.

With only three UK and Ireland dates announced so far, fans can expect the tickets to be highly sought after.

The Weeknd Announces Stadium Tour Dates with Doja Cat and Launches XO Humanitarian Fund

The singer is contributing $1 from each ticket sold on the North American tour to the XO Humanitarian Fund

Get ready, fans! The Weeknd is going on tour and he's adding some sass by bringing along the one and only Doja Cat .

The Weeknd (real name Abel Tesfaye), announced the first leg of dates for his tour in support of his latest studio album, Dawn FM and his 2020 album After Hours .

The singer, 32, made the announcement on social media with a photo of his tour poster and captioned the post , "AFTER HOURS TIL DAWN WORLD TOUR // LEG 1 : NORTH AMERICA. TICKETS ON SALE MARCH 10 LINK IN BIO."

The first leg of the After Hours Til Dawn stadium tour will launch in his hometown of Toronto in July and will wrap up in Los Angeles in September.

In honor of the announcement, the "Less Than Zero" singer launched the XO Humanitarian Fund with United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) — and with that, the singer is contributing $1 from each ticket sold on the North American tour.

He will also make a donation of $500,000 and $1 million will be contributed by World Food Program USA to the fund.

The star established this fund to support the U.N. World Food Programme's critical food assistance to communities on the brink of starvation in countries like Ethiopia, Madagascar and Yemen.

The tour announcement comes one week after the star released his television special The Weeknd x The Dawn FM Experience on Prime Video.

The "Blinding Lights" musician expressed his excitement while discussing his latest TV project.

"I'm ecstatic to partner with Amazon to premiere the most elaborate live TV special I've ever done," the singer told NME . "Welcome to the next phase of Dawn FM — a purgatory otherworld where live performance, theatre, and performance art collide for a night out at the club."

The news also comes after his birthday celebration in Las Vegas last month, when fans were buzzing after he was spotted kissing DJ Simi Khadra during the outing.

Shortly after, however, a source told PEOPLE that the "Sacrifice" singer and Khadra were not an official item.

"He's dating and is not in a committed relationship with anyone," the source said.

The Weeknd’s postponed tour of Australia is now canceled and ticket owners will be refunded.

The Canadian R&B superstar had initially scheduled an 11-date stadium tour of Australia and New Zealand, winding its way across both countries last November and December.

Trending on billboard.

“The Weeknd ‘After Hours Til Dawn Tour’ for Australia & New Zealand is still in process of being rescheduled,” reads a statement from LN, seen by Billboard . “Whilst we continue to work through the rescheduling process with the artist, tickets for the existing 2023 tour will be cancelled with all ticket holders receiving a full refund accordingly.”

Ticket holders of the The Weeknd’s ‘After Hours Til Dawn Tour’ shows who previously held on to their tickets will be able to access a priority purchase window for the new tour in Australia and New Zealand when announced, the message reads, linking to a priority waitlist . All current ticket holders will receive an automatic refund.

The tour was originally announced last August with just four shows, visiting each of Australia’s big three east coast cities — Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane — and including a single date in Auckland, NZ.

Additional dates were added last September , boosting the itinerary to 11 across both markets.

The Weeknd’s tour is scrapped as Australia’s festivals market navigates turbulent waters. In recent weeks, the 2024 editions of Splendour in the Grass, Mona Foma, and Groovin The Moo, with soft ticket sales playing a part in each story.

The inaugural Soundcheck report, published by Creative Australia, found the climate for operating a festival was a “highly complex” one, with event organizers challenged with myriad issues, from rapidly increasing costs, changing ticket buying behavior and more.

In the U.S., he has landed seven No. 1s on the Billboard Hot 100 and four No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200.

On Australia’s ARIA Albums Chart, published last Friday, April 19 , the Weeknd’s hits collection The Highlights lifts 8-4 in its 167th week on the tally. It’s triple-platinum certified in Australia.

Breaking: The Weeknd has cancelled his Australian tour

After postponing due to “unforeseen circumstances”, the Starboy has officially scrapped all of his sold-out shows

Nooo! After months of confusion following the announcement in November last year that the Weeknd’s After Hours Til Dawn tour was postponed due to “unforeseen circumstances”, it has just been revealed that the entire run of sold-out Aussie gigs have been cancelled.

The Weeknd (aka Abel Tesfaye) had been scheduled to play four epic shows at Marvel Stadium on December 1, 2, 4 and 5, 2023, with performances also confirmed in both Sydney and Brisbane. None of these will go ahead now, with Ticketek confirming that full refunds will be issued to all ticketholders

“Whilst we continue to work through the rescheduling process with the artist, tickets for the existing 2023 tour will be cancelled. All purchased tickets will receive a full refund,” reads a statement on the ticketing company’s website.

It’s expected that refunds will take approximately 30 days to appear in the accounts of ticketholders. And if the Weeknd does indeed decide to head Down Under again (c’mon, we gotta hold out hope), those people will be able to access a priority pre-sale purchase window for new tickets. If sitting in that stressful Ticketek waiting room is something you’d do all over again just to see the Starboy in real life, there’s a waitlist you can join here .

There’s been no word from the Weeknd himself regarding the Aussie cancellations, and he didn’t publicly comment on the initial postponement – so we’re not holding out hope for statement (or apology!).

All those tears you were saving for another day? Yep, it’s time to shed ‘em. We’ll keep you updated with new info as it comes in.

The Weeknd’s Aussie and NZ shows officially canned

The Australian leg of a superstar North American artist’s world tour was in doubt but has now officially been canned. See what it means for ticketholders.

A cheesy ’90s pop song saved my life

Why this festival photo is sparking outrage

Pop icon disses Taylor Swift on stage

Canadian singer The Weeknd has officially cancelled his Australian tour.

The shows were originally set to begin in November last year and were indefinitely postponed at short notice but have now been canned and fans offered refunds.

Ticketek has told ticketholders that refunds would be issued however also said it would “work through the rescheduling process with the artist”.

Anyone who held onto their ticket from six months ago can get a priority purchase if or when a new tour is announced, but otherwise anyone hoping to see the singer will have to join the ticket queue all over again.

The multiple Grammy winner was due to play two shows in each of Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland as part of a global After Hours Til Dawn stadium tour from November 2023.

The show run was postponed two weeks before the first concert in Queensland.

“Due to unforeseen circumstances, we must reschedule the Australia/New Zealand tour … Deeply disappointed but can’t wait to be there with you!,” the artist said in a statement at the time.

There has been no official statements explaining the postponement or now cancellation, but a host of Australian festivals have been cancelled in recent months because of costs and/or low attendance.

Regional touring festival Groovin’ The Moo, Splendour in the Grass and Mona Foma at the Museum of Old and New Art in Tasmania have all succumbed.

The Weeknd starred in fictitious HBO series The Idol, which was released in mid-2023. The show was led by Lily-Rose Depp as a troubled musician and was widely poorly received by critics.

An ultra uplifting bubblegum pop song from 1990s British group S Club 7 averted a near-tragic end for a terrified teenager living in regional Australia.

A photo taken at a popular music festival in Sydney yesterday has sparked outrage for one very clear reason.

A legendary pop star has taken aim at Taylor Swift, demanding to know how she’s gotten so successful without having “famous songs”.

The Weeknd Cancels Australian Tour

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

The cancellation of The Weeknd ‘s Australian tour has made all the fans disappointed. After eight months of being announced and six months of postponement, the tour has finally been cancelled.

The cancellation of the tours means that thousands of ticket holders are finally getting official notifications from Ticketek, the ticketing agency that is handling the tour. Since stadium shows are planned across cities, which means that they were holding up the money, and thus making money out of some fans’ money. Ticketek is estimated to hold up to $ 9 million + per concert.

The Weeknd – ‘Popular’

However, the announcement assures that the fans’ money would be refunded but it is going to take 30 days which means the fans have to wait for the refund. But this somewhere provides some relief to the disappointed fans.

While the cancellation of the tour might disappoint certain fans who have been anticipating The Weeknd’s performances, there remains a hope that the artist will soon get on the stage and throw a performance for his fans.

The Weeknd Australian Tour Dates Were:

Monday, 20th November – Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane QLD

Tuesday, 21st November – Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane QLD

Friday, 24th November – Accor Stadium, Sydney NSW

Saturday, 25th November – Accor Stadium, Sydney NSW

Monday, 27th November – Accord Stadium, Sydney NSW – NEW SHOW

Friday, 1st December – Marvel Stadium, Melbourne VIC

Saturday, 2nd December – Marvel Stadium, Melbourne VIC

Monday, 4th December – Marvel Stadium, Melbourne VIC

The weeknd cancels australia and new zealand tour.

The Weeknd has cancelled the Australia and New Zealand leg of his After Hours Til Dawn tour.

Ticketek emailed concert ticket holders on Tuesday stating that full refunds would be made while the company tries to “work through the rescheduling process with the artist.”

The tour was first postponed in November last year due to “unforeseen circumstances”.

The Australian leg of the star’s tour was set to include a concert at Sydney’s Accor Stadium and Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium, with other dates to follow.

But now all dates have been cancelled, with Ticketek recommending fans to sign up to a waitlist in case the dates do get rescheduled down the track.

“The Weeknd ‘After Hours Til Dawn Tour’ for Australia & New Zealand is still in the process of being rescheduled. While we continue to work through the rescheduling process with the artist, tickets for the existing 2023 tour will be cancelled,” Ticketek stated on its website.

“All purchased tickets will receive a full refund.

“Ticket holders of the shows who previously held on to their tickets will be able to access a priority purchase window for the new tour in Australia and New Zealand when announced.

“In order to gain access to the priority pre-sale, please make sure you opt in and join the waitlist here.

“Tickets will be automatically refunded in full (including refundable ticket purchases, if applicable) to the original payment method used for purchase and patrons do not need to take any action.

“Patrons should allow approximately 30 business days for the refund to appear in their account.”

The Weeknd, real name Abel Tesfaye, has yet to post about the Australia and New Zealand cancellation on social media.

His most recent Instagram post was made on April 13, hinting that a new album was dropping soon.

But plenty of Australian fans were also dropping into the comments, hoping for some more information about when he would appear Down Under.

“Bro completely forgot about his Australia tour,” one fan wrote.

“Did you forget Australia?” wondered another.

“Ok cool, release Australia dates?” begged another.

On Tuesday, some fans headed back to that April 13 post to express their frustration at the tour being cancelled.

“So f***ing mad ... just got the email,” one wrote.

“WHAT NO PLEASE NO,” wrote another.

“RIP the aus/nz tour got cancelled 💀💀,” added a third.

Aussie Depeche Mode fans are an incredibly patient bunch. The last time the British synth-pop titans toured the country was in 1994, meaning nearly three decades have passed since they last paid us a visit. But good things come to those who wait, and it seems there is a glimmer of hope for those hoping to catch the band Down Under.

In March 2023, Depeche Mode’s Dave Gahan told an Italian blog that the band were eyeing “as-yet-unannounced dates in Asia and Australia” as part of a touring run that would lead into 2024. The band have toured the world in support of their latest album, ‘Memento Mori’ , and a trip to Australia to cap off the jaunt seems more likely than ever.

The Rolling Stones Get Support: Who's Opening for the Hackney Diamonds Tour?

The Rolling Stones are set to launch their North American 2024 Hackney Diamonds Tour this Sunday, April 28 at NRG Stadium in Austin, Texas. For the show opener, the band will have with hometown support from blues guitarist-singer and Grammy winner Gary Clark Jr. But for the rest of the tour, the openers range from Grammy Best New Artist nominees the War and Treaty to L.A. sensations the Linda Lindas.

With 19 shows in 16 cities on the docket, let's look at a cross-section of the artists that will be opening up for, as they once said, "The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World."

The Pretty Reckless : Fronted by singer-guitarist Taylor Momsen, the hard rock New York City foursome have been together since 2009. Their latest album, the acoustic-covers-reimagined Other Worlds, was released in November 2022 and they're currently in the studio readying new material. (5/11 – Las Vegas, NV at Allegiant Stadium)

Joe Bonamassa : American blues rock guitarist Bonamassa has been at the forefront of that genre's revitalization since the late 1980s. As a prodigy, he was mentored by the late country rockabilly guitarist Danny Gatton. He opened for B.B. King and by age 18 was in a group called Bloodline with the sons of Miles Davis, Robby Krieger and Berry Oakley. His most recent work can be heard on Mark Knopfler's "Going Home: Theme of the Local Hero" in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust. (5/15 – Seattle, WA at Lumen Field)

The Red Clay Strays : The Mobile, Alabama band's debut album Moment of Truth was released in 2022, and the group has been flying ever since. One can see and hear how this quintet – Brandon Coleman, Drew Nix, Zach Rishel, Andrew Bishop and John Hall – could slot in perfectly on a bill with the Stones, with their blend of rave-up Southern rock mixed with some throwback Muscle Shoals soul. (5/30 – Foxboro, MA @ Gillette Stadium)

Bettye LaVette : A bonafide legend, the 78-year-old LaVette has sung and vocalized and interpreted with just about everyone in the music industry over the past six decades. Betty Jo Haskins, born in Muskegon, Michigan and raised in Detroit, released her first single "My Man – He’s a Loving Man," in the fall of 1962. But her career, while not chart-topping, had a resurgence in the 2000s. Her last release was the Grammy-nominated 2023 LaVette! , a production with the Rolling Stones drummer Steve Jordan.
