What began in the neon glow of After Hours has now stretched into a worldwide stadium takeover. Beginning in 2022 as a bold, album-driven stadium experiment, After Hours Till Dawn tour has evolved into a three-year global juggernaut that has repeatedly sold out cities. Now, driven by relentless fan demand and the sheer scale of its success, something big is coming. 

The extension does not merely add dates, it reinforces the tour’s status as the biggest R&B tour in history. So what are the changes that made this extension happen? 

Right after the tour ended on September 2025, Abel Tesfaye announced that the After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour would return in 2026 with an ambitious new leg spanning Mexico, Brazil, Europe, and the United Kingdom. The new run will launch on April 20, 2026, in Mexico City at Estadio GNP Seguros, before moving through South America and across some of the most prestigious stadiums on the European continent.

The 2026 leg also brings a powerful lineup of collaborators. Anitta will join The Weeknd for all Mexico and Brazil performances, adding a strong Latin pop presence to the South American stretch. Meanwhile Playboi Carti will appear across every Europe and UK date, giving the tour a sharper, modern hip-hop edge for its continental run. Musically, the tour continues to celebrate The Weeknd’s acclaimed trilogy, 'After Hours' (2020), 'Dawn FM' (2022), and 'Hurry Up Tomorrow' (2025).

With its 2026 extension, After Hours Til Dawn has become a multi-year global event that reflects The Weeknd’s dominance as both a hitmaker and a live performer. As new cities prepare to welcome the show, the question is no longer whether this tour will be remembered, but how long it will continue to rewrite the record books.
