The Weeknd played five nights of the After Hours Til Dawn Tour at Wembley Stadium, on one of the biggest stages ever built there.
The Weeknd, the Canadian singer behind “Blinding Lights”, returned to Wembley Stadium for five nights of the After Hours Til Dawn Tour, from Friday 14 to Wednesday 19 August 2026. Playboi Carti was the special guest.
Born Abel Tesfaye in Ontario, he began releasing music anonymously in 2009. House of Balloons, the first of three mixtapes, came out in 2011.
Beauty Behind the Madness and Starboy, his second and third albums, both reached number one in the US. After Hours began a trilogy of albums that ended with Hurry Up Tomorrow in 2025.
He had played Wembley on the same tour in August 2023, to 89,179 people. By 2026 it was the highest-grossing tour ever by a male solo artist.
The stage for the five nights was one of the biggest built at the stadium, with fireworks and pyrotechnics. On the first night he played 39 songs.
Playboi Carti, the Atlanta rapper and founder of the label Opium, opened each night and joined him for two songs on the first.
