The Weeknd is back in business – and this time he's come to play! The Canadian superstar kicked off the European leg of his 'After Hours Til Dawn' tour with two sold-out shows at Copenhagen's massive Parken Stadium, and let us tell you, it was a night to remember. Building on the success of earlier UK dates, including those in Manchester, this is just the beginning of an unforgettable ride for fans on the continent.
The 'After Hours Til Dawn' tour has already rewritten the record books as the highest-grossing tour ever by a male solo artist, raking in over $1 billion and selling a staggering 7.5 million tickets worldwide – and it's still going strong! The Weeknd's live shows are always a spectacle, but this tour takes it to new heights with its jaw-dropping stage production.
Imagine a 40-foot gold sculpture crafted by Japanese art legend Hajime Sorayama, the largest fine-art commission ever created for a live concert. Add expansive golden ruins, mind-blowing visuals, lasers, and pyrotechnics, and you've got a cinematic experience that's as immersive as it is unforgettable.
The Weeknd's 36-track setlist was a masterclass in showmanship, weaving together fan favourites from his illustrious career with material from his latest album, 'Hurry Up Tomorrow'. And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, Playboi Carti burst onto the stage to join The Weeknd for electrifying performances of 'Timeless' and 'RATHER LIE'.
UK fans, get ready – The Weeknd is coming for you! He'll take over London's Wembley Stadium for a blistering five-night residency in August, followed by two shows in Dublin's Croke Park. And as if that weren't enough, the tour continues its partnership with Global Citizen, using every ticket sale to make a real difference – supporting education access and food relief efforts around the world.
