The tour will wrap at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles California. This is the first leg of The Weeknd’s massive world tour, with additional dates in Mexico, South America, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Africa & the Middle East on the way. Tickets go on sale on March 10.
During The Weeknd’s run across North America he will be joined by Doja Cat.
Verizon’s customer loyalty program Verizon Up will provide an exclusive presale for The Weeknd’s After Hours Til Dawn Tour in the United States. Beginning Monday, March 7th at 10:00 a.m. local time and ending Wednesday, March 9th at 10:00 p.m. local time, members will have the first opportunity to purchase presale tickets for select concerts.

The World Food Programme (WFP), the world’s largest humanitarian organization fighting global hunger, has teamed up with its Goodwill Ambassador Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye to launch the XO HUMANITARIAN FUND, to which he will donate $1 from every ticket sold in North America from this highly anticipated tour. The Weeknd will also donate $500,000, and World Food Program USA will contribute $1 million to the initiative. The multi-platinum and diamond certified global celebrity launched this fund to support the United Nations World Food Programme’s crucial food aid to people on the verge of starvation in countries such as Ethiopia, Madagascar, and Yemen, driven by his desire to help those in need. World Food Program USA is in charge of the Fund.
The Weeknd will be touring his massive album After Hours (whose hit single “Blinding Lights” was named the new No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 song of all time, surpassing Chubby Checker’s 1960 hit “The Twist”), as well as the recently released and critically acclaimed album DAWN FM, for the first time in 2022.
The tour will be his most ambitious to date, reflecting the creative journey that has been unfolding for both of these albums, creating worlds within worlds as we’ve all seen unfold in various television performances, music videos, and short films bringing these first two pieces of his trilogy to life.
The Weeknd x The Dawn FM Experience premiered on Prime Video earlier this week. The immersive music spectacular transforms the critically acclaimed album Dawn FM by the multi platinum, two-time Grammy-winning musician into a compelling visual, creating a theatrical performance event that has engulfed spectators in its unsettling and melancholy atmosphere. The Weeknd x The Dawn FM Experience is now available exclusively on Prime Video to Prime members in over 240 countries and territories across the world.

The Weeknd’s 2022 ‘After Hours Til Dawn’ Tour Is…OMG! With Doja Cat
At the start of 2010, The Weeknd was homeless, singing on the street and performing in small clubs in his hometown of Toronto.

Doja Cat, HER, And Saweetie Perform At The 2022 Billboard Women In Music Event
Last night, the 14th annual Billboard Women In Music event was held at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, California to honor women in the music industry who have made significant strides or impacts in the past year. The event, which made its return after being canceled last year, awarded such honors as Woman Of The Year, Impact Award, Powerhouse Award, Innovator Award, Trailblazer Award, and Executive Of The Year. As with many awards events, the Women In Music conference also featured live performances from many of its honorees, including Doja Cat, HER, Saweetie, and more.
For Doja Cat’s stripped-down performance of “Alone” from her 2021 album Planet Her, the singer and rapper appeared in a hot pink cloak gown accompanied by piano and light strings on the darkened stage. Beginning without percussion, the instrumentation featured a slow build that never quite resolved, giving an understated appeal to Doja’s usual bombastic onstage antics.

Meanwhile, Saweetie performed her new song “Closer” — sans collaborator H.E.R. — keeping the “Icy flight attendant” aesthetic of the song’s video alive for the stage. In this case, Saweetie and her dancers wore bedazzled gold uniforms as they performed some extremely “disco queen” choreography perfect for the song’s ’70s dance vibe.

The Weeknd Announces His After Hours Til Dawn Tour Dates With Doja Cat
The Weeknd has announced the North American dates for his After Hours Til Dawn Tour supported by frequent collaborator Doja Cat, which kicks off just after Independence Day and continues through September. The Weeknd and Doja Cat previously collaborated on a remix of “In Your Eyes” from After Hours, as well as “You Right” from Planet Her.
The Canadian star apparently initially planned to announce the dates last month, but delayed his announcement due to the initiation of overt hostilities between Russia and Ukraine. The Weeknd actually postponed the tour late last year, citing the “constraints of arenas and the demand for more shows,” and scaling up to stadiums.
