Global superstar The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) has set 2025 ablaze with the surprise release of his fifth studio album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, and a sprawling 30-city North American stadium tour titled After Hours ‘Til Dawn. The tour, his largest production to date, will kick off on May 9 at State Farm Stadium in Phoenix, Arizona, and wrap on September 3 at San Antonio’s Alamodome.
Fans can expect high-octane performances featuring tracks from Hurry Up Tomorrow, the final installment of his genre-bending trilogy that began with 2020’s After Hours and 2022’s Dawn FM. The tour will also include Atlanta rap sensation Playboi Carti and legendary producer Mike Dean as special guests.
Tour Dates and Ticket Details
The After Hours ‘Til Dawn tour will traverse major markets, including:
- June 14–15: SoFi Stadium (Inglewood, CA) – A symbolic return to the venue where Tesfaye famously lost his voice mid-show in 2022, an experience he credits as a catalyst for the album’s emotional depth.
- July 4: Rogers Centre (Toronto, Canada) – A hometown celebration for the Toronto-born artist.
- August 20: Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta, GA) – Featuring Playboi Carti’s hometown crowd.
Presale tickets for verified fans are available February 1–3 via The Weeknd’s official website, with general sales starting February 7 at 10 AM local time through Ticketmaster. Industry experts predict swift sellouts, given Tesfaye’s record-breaking 2022 tour, which grossed over $350 million.
Hurry Up Tomorrow: A Trilogy’s Grand Finale
The 14-track Hurry Up Tomorrow blends The Weeknd’s signature dark synth-pop with collaborations from Future, Brazilian superstar Anitta, and Lana Del Rey, who lends haunting vocals to the standout track The Abyss. In a recent Instagram Live session, Tesfaye revealed the album’s introspective themes, calling it “a love letter to chaos and redemption.”
Critics are already hailing Sao Paulo (feat. Anitta) as a summer anthem, while Enjoy the Show (feat. Future) has surged to #3 on Spotify’s Global Top 50. Stream the album here.
Behind the Album: Breakdowns and Breakthroughs
The Weeknd’s 2022 vocal injury at SoFi Stadium became a turning point. “Losing my voice felt like a collapse, but it forced me to rebuild creatively,” he told Rolling Stone. The incident inspired the album’s raw lyrical direction, with tracks like Echoes in the Static addressing his struggles with fame and identity.
Legacy and What’s Next
With over 100 million albums sold worldwide and a recent Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, The Weeknd continues to redefine modern R&B. While Hurry Up Tomorrow closes his trilogy, rumors swirl about a pivot to film scoring or a collaborative project with Swedish House Mafia.
For now, fans can secure tickets and dive into an album poised to dominate 2025’s charts. As Tesfaye tweeted earlier today: “This isn’t an ending—it’s a new dawn.”
