Today, diamond-certified global superstar The Weeknd announced the 2026 Asia leg of his record-breaking, sold-out After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour. Produced by Live Nation and sponsored by Nespresso, the Asia tour will kick off on Sunday, September 20 at Tokyo’s Belluna Dome, with additional stops in Jakarta, Singapore, Seoul, Bangkok, and Hong Kong before wrapping on Wednesday, November 4 in Kuala Lumpur at TM Stadium National. This run marks the tour’s final leg and the last opportunity for fans to experience the show. Japanese hip-hop duo Creepy Nuts will support on the majority of dates, with Japanese DJ ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U joining on select shows.
The newly announced dates follow his upcoming European and UK run this summer, as well as recently completed shows across Latin America, with multi-night plays in Mexico and Brazil.
Notably, the After Hours Til Dawn Tour surpassed $1 billion in global gross last year, following the addition of its 2026 dates across Europe, the UK, and Latin America, with more than 7.5 million tickets sold across 153 shows—making it the highest-grossing tour ever by a male solo artist. Since launching in 2022, the tour has spanned North America (twice), Europe, the UK, Latin America, and Australia.
Beyond its commercial success, the tour has driven meaningful global impact. To date, The Weeknd has and partners have contributed a combined total of over $8.5 million to the XO Humanitarian Fund and Global Citizen, with additional proceeds from the 2026 run continuing to support both organizations.
