The Weeknd will be playing until dawn in three Canadian cities this summer.

His After Hours Til Dawn stadium tour is coming to Toronto, Vancouver and Edmonton in July. The Canadian superstar announced the tour today, January 31, alongside the release of his highly-anticipated Hurry Up Tomorrow.


That album marks the end of a three-album trilogy, which started with 2020's After Hours and continued with 2022's Dawn FM. The tour will feature songs from all three albums, as well as what The Weeknd is calling "never-before-seen production." Playboi Carti and Mike Dean join as special guests.

The Weeknd has been calling this his final project under that artist name, and he kicked off the Hurry Up Tomorrow era with a performance of "Open Hearts" on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night. Whether it's truly the end of The Weeknd or just the closing of a chapter, the stadium tour is sure to be a hot ticket this summer.
