The Weeknd drops surprise new Aussie tour dates - triple j
Just when you thought the weekend was over, it's back again. The Weeknd has announced he's coming back to Australia before the end of the year for a string of massive shows in Eora/Sydney and Naarm/Melbourne.
He'll be finally bringing his After Hours Til Dawn tour down under in October, taking over Accor Stadium and Marvel Stadium for four nights on either end of the month.
These dates will mark his first stadium gigs in Australia and his first shows here since 2017 but The Weeknd knew he wanted to get over to our end of the world before he closes the book on this era of his creative career.
"I feel a strong pull to perform in Australia before moving on to the next chapter and want to make sure you all know I hadn't forgotten about you," he said in a statement.
"When I return now, it will be the right time, and I promise it will be such a special experience. I can't wait to see you all!"
Everything we've seen of the After Hours Til Dawn tour on TikTok has made it look larger than life. There's a giant, chrome robot woman, elaborate Tron-like masks, pyrotechnics, a huge moon, lasers – the lot.
Tickets for the new tour from The Weeknd are on sale from Wednesday 21 August for past purchasers first – so if you had tickets to his last lot of dates, you're first in line. There's then another presale on Thursday 22 August and general tickets are on sale from Monday 26 August. Check out The Weeknd's tour website for more information.
