The Weeknd: After Hours Til Dawn Tour

The Weeknd, a leading figure in Canadian R&B, arrives with his After Hours Til Dawn Tour on July 4, 2026, at Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Villeneuve-d’Ascq. Behind the stage name, Abel Tesfaye has established a signature sound that blends R&B, pop and electronic music, carried by an agile voice and synths that evoke the 1980s. Originally from Toronto, he first emerged with atmospheric mixtapes before moving toward a more direct, melodic sound, notably collaborating with Daft Punk.

On stage, The Weeknd moves through his different periods effortlessly, from the dark textures of his early work to the sweeping melodies of After Hours and Dawn FM. Blinding Lights, Save Your Tears, Starboy and The Hills follow in stadium-ready arrangements, with transitions that lean toward the club and quieter, more introspective moments. The staging reflects his nocturnal world, between electronic pulses and sharp lighting. The performance offers a dense overview of his career, from the foggy atmospheres of Trilogy to the choruses that have conquered playlists, presented in a format designed for the crowd and collective energy.
