The Weeknd at Etihad Stadium, Manchester – setlist, stage times, tickets and more

The Weeknd’s enormous After Hours Til Dawn world tour will touch down in Manchester this week for two huge stadium shows.

The Blinding Lights singer had previously skipped our city in favour of London, but added two gigs at the Etihad Stadium last autumn, along with new dates in Paris, Barcelona, Lisbon, Copenhagem, Munich and Lille.

The 2026 After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour has taken the Canadian diamond-certified global star across the globe.

The Weeknd’s seventh concert tour has been going since 2022, but has evolved over the years ahead of its return to Manchester.

Last time he performed in Manchester back in 2023, some fans were upset with his giant view-blocking moon balloon – but thankfully, The Weeknd is leaving that at home this time.

Instead, you can expect more pyrotechnics and lasers than the Etihad Stadium has ever seen, and a setlist packed with hits.

Here’s everything you need to know for The Weeknd at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester.
