The Weeknd finally adds Manchester stadium gig to huge tour

The Weeknd has added a whopping seven dates to his upcoming tour – including a stadium gig here in Manchester.

The Blinding Lights singer is taking his The After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour to massive venues across Europe next year, but had previously skipped our city in favour of London.

But today The Weeknd has announced a night at the Etihad Stadium next June, along with new dates in Paris, Barcelona, Lisbon, Copenhagem, Munich and Lille.

The diamond-certified global star performed here back in 2023, with a giant moon balloon hanging over the Etihad Stadium.

The 2026 After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour was already a 40-date sold-out stadium tour, and now the Live Nation produced tour has added extra stops.

Playboi Carti will appear as The Weeknd’s support act on all EU/UK dates.

This particular tour celebrates his album trilogy of After Hours (2020), Dawn FM (2022), and Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025).

The Weeknd will perform at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester on 11 June 2026.

Tickets will go on sale via an artist presale and Mastercard presale from 12pm on Tuesday 14 October, followed by a Nespresso presale, and then general sale from 12pm on Friday 17 October.
