The Weeknd

While outdoor concerts and medium-sized tours have more or less returned after 18 months of pandemic shutdown, the bread and butter of the concert industry — the arena tour — has been slowest to come back. The Weeknd ’s “After Hours” tour, which was o riginally scheduled to launch in June of 2020 , was to relaunch in January of next year.

But owing to several factors, the trek has been escalated to a stadium tour and bumped to the summer of 2022, with dates to be announced in the coming weeks. The general itinerary has also been updated to include North and South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa and the Middle East.

“The ‘After Hours’ tour dates are moving and will commence in the summer of 2022 due to constraints of arenas and the desire to do something bigger and special for fans that will require stadiums,” the artist announced in a statement on social media Monday.

“New dates forthcoming. Current tickets will be refunded automatically and all ticketholders will be given priority to buy tickets for the stadium shows when they go on sale,”

The purpose of the move may be twofold: First, as stated, the tour has been rebranded — it is now called “After Hours ’til the Dawn,” reflecting the theme and perhaps the title of his forthcoming new album , which he exclusively tipped to Variety earlier this year — and, after his eye-popping halftime performance at the Super Bowl in February, the Weeknd has proven that he can stage a stadium-sized show. He released a new single titled “Take My Breath ” in August; there’s also a snippet of a different new song in a follow-up Instagram post — hear it below.

But also, the ongoing pandemic and the inconsistency of social-distancing precautions across North America has made the return of arena tours a significant challenge, although several such tours are taking place at the moment. Moving the dates to next summer not only allows for the Weeknd to stage a bigger show, holding the concerts in the open air alleviates many concerns about mass gatherings.

Variety will have more on this situation as it develops.

The Weeknd Announces 2022 North American Tour

By Nina Corcoran

The Weeknd

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 brings Doja Cat into the mix for After Hours Til Dawn world tour

the weeknd tour history

The Weeknd  will be bringing his last two projects to life with the announcement of his upcoming world tour.

The After Hours Til Dawn stadium tour will be the Canadian pop star's first global tour, after the originally planned After Hours tour was delayed several times due to the coronavirus pandemic. 

Grammy-nominated Doja Cat will be joining the "Dawn FM" artist for the North American leg which includes 18 shows beginning with a July performance in his hometown of Toronto at Rogers Centre and ending in Los Angeles at SoFi Stadium in September. 

It’s expected to be a high-concept, high-tech production in keeping with the themes explored in the new album “Dawn FM” and its accompanying Amazon Prime special, exploring a post-pandemic escape from purgatory.

He tweeted on Feb. 24 : “unfortunately i’m just now seeing what’s happening with the conflict and will pause on tomorrow’s announcement. i pray for everyone's safety."

For over two years, The Weeknd has been on a musical journey cementing himself as one of the biggest pop performers in modern music history. In 2020, he released After Hours which helmed the record-breaking single “Blinding Lights” and found hits in “Heartless” and “Save Your Tears.” He kicked off 2022 with the release of Dawn FM , his conceptual fifth studio album about being trapped in a discotheque purgatory. Now, The Weeknd is combining these two worlds for the 2022 After Hours Til Dawn stadium tour.

The first leg of the extensive tour will begin in North America with 18 shows supported by pop powerhouse Doja Cat . The tour kicks off in The Weeknd’s hometown of Toronto on July 8 and makes stops in Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Miami, Atlanta, Denver, Las Vegas, Seattle, and more before wrapping with a show at Los Angeles’ Sofi Stadium on September 2. Additional international dates are to be announced.

Ticket sales for the North American leg of the After Hours Til Dawn tour will begin on Thursday, March 10 via The Weeknd’s official website . Fans who purchased tickets to the After Hours arena tour, originally scheduled for 2021 then rescheduled to 2022 before being canceled entirely for a shift towards stadiums, will receive first access to tickets for the newly announced dates via an exclusive presale beginning March 4.

Billy Idol - Rebel Yell LP

The Weeknd's Phoenix concert was an epic, post-apocalyptic hellscape. Why that was awesome

the weeknd tour history

It’s been five years since the Weeknd last appeared in metro Phoenix when the Starboy: Legend of the Fall Tour  made its way to what was then called Talking Stick Resort Arena.

He’s dropped two albums, headlined the Super Bowl LV Halftime Show and graduated to a bigger room since then, bringing the After Hours Til Dawn Tour to an extremely crowded State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Tuesday, Aug. 30.

And the man born Abel Tesfaye rose to the occasion, doubling down on the dizzying expectations raised by that halftime performance when it came to spectacle while reminding fans that he could just as easily have entertained the back rows of the stadium on the strength of his magnetic presence and the power of his music.

He's the fourth-most-streamed artist on Spotify, a star whose time to headline stadiums has clearly come.

The Weeknd goes heavy on songs from 'Dawn FM' and 'After Hours'

Arriving less than a week after a caravan of ‘80s rockers packed that same room for the Stadium Tour , the Weeknd put the focus squarely on the here and now, performing seven songs from this year’s “Dawn FM” and six from 2020’s “After Hours.”

As the title of the tour suggests, he’s touring on both albums, having canceled the arena trek originally planned for “After Hours” due to health concerns regarding the pandemic.

Giving those albums a turn in the spotlight still allowed plenty of time in a 29-song set that ran 90-some minutes to cycle through crowd-pleasing highlights from across his career, reaching back to his first mixtape, 2011’s “House of Balloons,” for “The Morning" and a song that felt like the concert's emotional zenith, "Wicked Games."

He also dusted off his features on songs he recorded with Drake (“Crew Love”), Future (“Low Life”) and Ty Dolla Sign (“Or Nah”) and the organ-driven Kanye West collaboration “Hurricane.”

The Shady Park Tempe saga isn't over. Here's a look at recent legal developments

A conceptual extension of the Super Bowl halftime show

In announcing the tour, the Weeknd promised it would “see his most ambitious production to date reflecting the creative journey that continues to unfold for both these albums, creating worlds within worlds as we have all been watching unfold in various television performances, music videos and short films."

La Mar Taylor, the concert's creative director, further explained what that might look like in a conversation with Variety .

“The entire show is conceptual,” Taylor said. “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.”

Taylor also said they’d taken inspiration from the Super Bowl performance “and expanded it,” adding, “There were so many restrictions and constraints around that performance that we could not fully realize the vision we had for it. Now we can.”

The Super Bowl returns to metro Phoenix: Who should play the halftime show?

The Weeknd's stage show was a post-apocalyptic hellscape

The concert began on an ominous note as a swarm of veiled and hooded dancers in flowing red garments trudged across a war-torn hellscape of bombed-out buildings backlit by an eerie post-apocalyptic glow on a video screen that filled in the rest of the ever-changing skyline.

Dressed in black from head to toe, including a trench coat and gloves, the Weeknd made his entrance from beneath the dystopian ruins on a slow-rising hydraulic lift, setting the tone with his trembling delivery of “Alone Again,” the track that opens “After Hours."

It proved a suitably dramatic point of entry to what followed as he recontextualized his catalog to suit the existential thread that runs through both those recent albums, which are said to be the first two chapters in a trilogy.

By the time "Alone Again" was ending, those dancers were slogging single file along the catwalk that led from the main stage to a platform in the middle of the stadium and a circular stage at the opposite end of the venue under a giant inflatable moon as the Weeknd segued into “Gasoline” from “Dawn FM.”

A night at the club with the Weeknd

The quasi-operatic darkness of the staging didn’t stop the Weeknd from making the stadium feel more like a dance club on tracks that grooved as hard as the throbbing club beat of “Sacrifice” and “How Do I Make You Love Me?,” the Weeknd dividing the crowd down the middle and leading fans in chanting "right side” or “left side” accordingly.

He paced the concert like a DJ, most songs segueing into the next for maximum momentum as he started offsetting those newer tracks with the earlier classics that got him to the level where the Super Bowl starts calling, from “Can’t Feel My Face,” much of it done as a spirited call and response with the audience, to “The Hills” and “Starboy.”

Other highlights included "Often," "Party Monster," "I Feel It Coming" and "Die for You."

It all blended together, in a way, but the end result was more seamless than sameness. 

An extremely energetic presence, he underscored a number of the concert's more electrifying peaks by hopping up and down, pumping his fists in the air. 

His vocals sounded great throughout, from the vulnerability he displayed on the opening song to the full-throated pleading of "Call Out My Name," although his vocals did get swallowed on occasion in the bass-heavy sludge of the mix combined with stadium acoustics.

If there were musicians in the building, they were nowhere to be seen. The entire performance hinged on the Weeknd and, to a lesser extent, those dancers (22 in all), who rarely called attention to themselves.

After Hours Til Dawn Tour was as off the hook as promised

It was the Weeknd's spotlight and he owned it.

The production was as off the hook as promised, with a laser light show, plenty of pyro and a stage show as elaborate as anything this side of Lady Gaga or Madonna. Fans' synchronized wristbands added to the light show.

Billowing black smoke engulfed the city set as Hendrixian guitar gave way to church organ on a moody version of his West collaboration, "Hurricane." As that song morphed into "The Hills," the city was in flames as columns of fire burst from the floor at the edge of the runway and buildings crumbled on the skyline.

It was epic, as they say.

And yet, it wouldn’t have been nearly as effective if he hadn’t done his best to back up those theatrical ambitions with performances that underscored the strength of the material, from that awe-inspiring "Wicked Games" to the "After Hours" smash he wisely held back for a suitably triumphant finish, “Blinding Lights."

Most stars who headline stadiums will never have a calling card as undeniable as "Blinding Lights," the first song in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 to spend a full year in the Top 10 (in the course of a record-breaking 90-week run on the charts). And it sounded especially great coming out of the synth-pop-revival vibe of "Less Than Zero."

Tour launch: Brian Wilson and Chicago in Phoenix: Emotional, soulful and full of hits

Mike Dean and Kaytranada open the Weeknd concert in style

The concert started with a set by DJ Mike Dean, who has a history of working with the Weeknd in the studio.

Manning his laptop and assorted synth from a spot on the runway, he greeted the early arrivals with a set that punctuated cinematic soundscapes with speaker-rattling bass and occasional outbursts of block-rocking beats. 

At one point, he switched to electric guitar for a crowd-pleasing version of "Where You Belong," a Weeknd track he produced for "Fifty Shades of Grey."

Kaytranada followed with a highly entertaining set that felt more like a really good night at the club. Highlights ranged from "10%," which was accompanied by its classic music video, to his remix of the Janet Jackson single "If." 

It was a perfect way to set the tone for the heavy club vibe of the Weeknd's own performance.

The Weeknd has finally detailed the new dates for his long-postponed North American tour, with the singer set to embark on his first-ever stadium tour this summer.

The first leg of the After Hours Til Dawn Tour begins July 8 with a hometown gig at Toronto’s Rogers Centre. After that, Abel Tesfaye will return to the football stadium confines of his Super Bowl halftime performance for 17 more shows at NFL venues spanning from Philadelphia to Los Angeles.

The Weeknd’s trek, then the After Hours World Tour, was originally set for 2020  and then  postponed until 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic; it was next rescheduled for early 2022 before the Weeknd opted to push the dates back again in order to bring his live experience to football stadiums.

Now dubbed the After Hours Til Dawn tour to incorporate his new LP Dawn FM , the first leg of the jaunt will now also feature Doja Cat as special guest. Check out the Weeknd’s site for ticket information.

The singer also launched his XO humanitarian fund in conjunction with the United Nations World Food Programme. The singer will donate one dollar from each ticket in addition to a $500,000 donation from the singer and an additional $1 million donation from World Food Program USA.

The Weeknd has recently been teasing that a new album is in the works–or at least more music. While fans wait to hear more from the Canadian powerhouse, one of his earliest sets gains in popularity in America once again as people are eager to listen to anything connected to the superstar.

House of Balloons by The Weeknd is on the rise in America, more than a decade after it was initially released. The set reappears on one Billboard chart and lifts on another, proving its longevity in yet another fashion.

On the Billboard 200, Billboard’s weekly ranking of the most-consumed albums in the U.S., House of Balloons barely finds its way back to the list. The set appears at No. 199 on the 200-rung tally after not appearing last time around.

According to Luminate, House of Balloons moved another 7,597 equivalent units in the past tracking period. Nearly all of those units came from streaming activity, as the set is still very popular on platforms like Spotify. House of Balloons only sold 136 copies last frame.

House of Balloons is also up slightly on the Top R&B Albums chart, which lists only the most-consumed full-lengths in the U.S. that can be classified as R&B in genre. On that tally, The Weeknd’s earlier studio effort doesn’t return, as it hadn’t fallen away. It’s up one rung to No. 24, finding space on the list once again.

The Weeknd released House of Balloons as a mixtape in 2011. At the time, he was still anonymous, so he shared it on the internet as a free download. It quickly spurred him to some level of critical acclaim and fame, and it started his career, which has obviously ballooned–pun intended–and now he’s one of the top stars in the world.
