Kaytranada Replaces Playboi Carti as the Opener for The Weeknd's Canadian Shows
The Montreal artist-producer will serve as the opening act for the singer's upcoming Montreal and Toronto concerts on his After Hours Til Dawn Tour after Playboi Carti was forced to pull out due to border issues.
Kaytranada
Kaytranada is back on the After Hours Til Dawn Tour.
The renowned Montreal producer and artist will be officially joining The Weeknd for his upcoming Canadian concerts. The Ticketmaster listings for the shows were updated earlier today (July 21) to include Kaytranada as a supporting act alongside Mike Dean. He joins the bill for the shows in Montreal at Parc Jean-Drapeau on July 24-25 and in Toronto at the Rogers Centre on July 27-28 and August 7-8.
Kaytranada replaces Playboi Carti, who dropped out of the Vancouver and Edmonton shows last-minute following border crossing issues. The rapper is set to resume his role as the tour's special guest for the remainder of the American dates.
Kaytranada also served as an opener for the After Hours Til Dawn Tour back in 2022-23, supporting The Weeknd in North America and Europe. Along with Mike Dean and Snoh Aalegra, he filled in for Doja Cat who pulled out of the tour due to tonsil surgery. The Weeknd and Kaytranada also collaborated on a remix of "Out of Time" in 2022, a standout from his Dawn FM album released that same year.
The Canadian producer extends his touring streak with these new dates. He headlined the final night of Ottawa Bluesfest yesterday (July 20) and is set to hit the road again this fall for a co-headlining arena tour with electronic duo Justice. The trek will kick off in Vancouver with a show at Rogers Arena on Oct. 16.
