The weeknd announces australian tour with vodafone exclusive ticket presale.

Canadian music superstar The Weeknd is officially coming to Australia in November 2023.

After breaking attendance records in London, Paris and Milan with over 1.6 million people attending during the European summer, The Weeknd will perform in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney in November and December.

The After Hours Til Dawn Tour with special guests Mike Dean and Chxrry22 will kick off Monday, November 20 in Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium before heading to Sydney on November 24 and December 1 in Melbourne .

Abel Tesfaye, adopting the moniker The Weeknd, embarked on his musical journey with the release of his mixtape House Of Balloons in 2011. This marked the beginning of a series of artistic endeavours, including the subsequent EPs Thursday and Echoes Of Silence, all of which came together to form the comprehensive compilation album known as the Trilogy.

In 2013, Tesfaye unveiled his inaugural album, titled Kiss Land, followed by his 2015 offering Beauty Behind The Madness. This release turned out to be a turning point in his career, propelling him to international fame based on chart-toppers like Can’t Feel My Face and The Hills.

The Weeknd’s subsequent album, Starboy, graced the music scene in 2016. This release featured a notable collaboration with Daft Punk and secured the prestigious Grammy Award for Best Urban Contemporary Album. The anticipation of fans was rewarded with Tesfaye’s fourth album, After Hours, which finally arrived in 2020. The album was marked by the ubiquitous presence of tracks such as Blinding Lights and Save Your Tears.

His fifth studio album came in 2022 when Dawn FM was released, marking what is likely to be his penultimate album.

“The album I’m working on now is probably my last hurrah as The Weeknd.

“This is something that I have to do. As The Weeknd, I’ve said everything I can say,” he told W Magazine in May 2023.

The Weeknd has announced he’s bringing his global stadium tour to Australia later this year.

The Canadian singer, 33, will include stops in Australia and New Zealand in November and December as part of his After Hours Til Dawn tour, which first kicked off in North America last year.

The tour is in support of his fourth and fifth studio albums, After Hours (2020) and Dawn FM (2022).

The Weeknd – real name Abel Tesfaye – just wrapped the European leg of the tour, and will next head to Latin America from September before kicking off the Australian leg, which includes three shows.

He first stops in Brisbane, performing at Suncorp Stadium on November 20, before heading to Sydney’s Accor Stadium on November 24. His final show will be at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on December 1, before jetting to New Zealand for one show at Auckland’s Eden Park on December 7.

The Blinding Lights hit maker, who last performed in Australia in 2017, will be supported by special guests Mike Dean and Chxrry22.

Variety reports the After Hours Til Dawn tour has made over $US350 million in sales as of July, making it the highest grossing tour by a black artist, surpassing Michael Jackson’s HIStory World Tour in the late ‘90s.

Abel Tesfaye — aka The Weekend — is bringing the ‘The After Hours Til Dawn Tour’ to Australia and New Zealand in 2024 instead. By Ella Sangster

SAVE YOUR TEARS, STARBOYS AND GIRLS, because The Weeknd has postponed his Australian tour.

After breaking attendance records in London, Milan and Paris across the European summer, the musician (real name Abel Tesfaye) was scheduled to bring The After Hours Til Dawn Tour Down Under in November 2023.

However on November 3 — just two weeks out from his first gig — The Idol star announced that the concerts will be pushed back.

Via a statement on the Live Nation website , The Weeknd shared, “Due to unforeseen circumstances, we must reschedule the Australia/New Zealand tour. New dates will be announced next year and current tickets will be valid for the new shows. Refunds will be available for those unable to attend the new dates. Deeply disappointed but can’t wait to be there with you!”

“We understand fans will be disappointed, and Live Nation is focused on working with The Weeknd to secure a new tour schedule. We will make a further announcement as soon as possible,” Live Nation added.

Ahead, discover everything you need to know about the star’s shows in Australia and New Zealand .

When is The Weeknd touring Australia in 2024?

It is currently unclear when The Weeknd’s The After Hours Til Dawn Tour will be rescheduled to. Per the Live Nation statement, new dates will be announced in the new year.

The star was supposed to kick off the Australian leg of his tour on November 20, with a show at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium. He would then have headed to Sydney , performing at Accor Stadium on November 24, before the final Australian show at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on December 1.

Is The Weeknd touring New Zealand in 2024?

As part of The After Hours Til Dawn Tour ‘s Antipodean leg, The Weeknd will head across the ditch to New Zealand.

He was originally set to perform in Auckland at Eden Park on December 7, but a rescheduled date has not been announced for that show either.

Will refunds be available for The Weeknd’s rescheduled Australian shows?

Once the rescheduled dates are announced, refunds will be available should fans be unable to make the show.

Food & Drink

Arts & entertainment, design & style, travel & leisure, search concrete playground, just in: the weeknd has postponed his 2023 tour down under just weeks out.

The singer and 'The Idol' star said he was "deeply disappointed but can't wait to be there with you!”.

Sorry Australia and New Zealand, you can't feel it coming after all — Abel 'The Weeknd' Tesfaye and his planned 2023 tour of both countries, that is. Just over two weeks out from his first scheduled gig Down Under as part of his visit, and after having to put on more shows to meet demand before tickets even went on sale , the musician has postponed his trip.

"Due to unforeseen circumstances, we must reschedule the Australia/New Zealand tour. New dates will be announced next year and current tickets will be valid for the new shows," advises a statement on the Live Nation website , which is credited as a message from The Weeknd to his fans.

"Refunds will be available for those unable to attend the new dates. Deeply disappointed but can't wait to be there with you!" the statement continues.

"We understand fans will be disappointed, and Live Nation is focused on working with The Weeknd to secure a new tour schedule. We will make a further announcement as soon as possible," added Live Nation Australia and New Zealand.

The Canadian singer-songwriter and The Idol star was due to play two shows at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium from Monday, November 20–Tuesday, November 21 to kick off the tour, then head to Sydney for three gigs at Accor Stadium from Friday, November 24–Saturday, November 25 and on Monday, November 27.

After that, he had four shows locked in for Marvel Stadium in Melbourne: on Friday, December 1–Saturday, December 2 and Monday, December 4–Tuesday, December 5. Then, it was meant to be Eden Park in Auckland's turn from Friday, December 8–Saturday, December 9.

An  arena spectacular, The Weeknd's global tour has been notching up soldout shows far and wide. In the UK, The Weekend saw 160,000 folks head to London Stadium across two nights, smashing the venue's attendance record. And in Milan, he became the first artist to sell out the Ippodromo La Maura for two nights.

Those feats are just the beginning. In Paris, the 'Starboy', 'I Feel It Coming', 'Can't Feel My Face', 'The Hills' and 'Blinding Lights' artist scored Stade de France's biggest sales this year — and in Nice, the 70,000 tickets sold across his two shows are the most in the city's history.

The reason for the whole tour, other than just because — and when it does make its rescheduled trip Down Under — is to celebrate The Weeknd's 2020 record After Hours and its 2022 followup Dawn FM . Obviously, he'll be playing tracks from 2013's Kiss Land , 2015's Beauty Behind the Madness and 2016's Starboy as well.

Just like new dates, there's no word yet if Mike Dean and Chxrry22 will still be supporting The Weeknd's Australian and NZ gigs when they do happen.

THE WEEKND'S 'AFTER HOURS TIL DAWN TOUR' 2023 — POSTPONED DATES:

Monday, November 20–Tuesday, November 21 — Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane Friday, November 24–Saturday, November 25 + Monday, November 27 — Accor Stadium, Sydney Friday, December 1–Saturday, December 2 + Monday, December 4–Tuesday, December 5 — Marvel Stadium, Melbourne Friday, December 8–Saturday, December 9 — Eden Park, Auckland

The Weeknd is no longer touring Australia and New Zealand in November and December 2023. The shows will be rescheduled, with new dates yet to be announced — head to the tour website for more information.

The Weeknd postpones Australia and New Zealand tour due to 'unforeseen circumstances'

Canadian singer The Weeknd has postponed his upcoming tour of Australia and New Zealand, citing "unforeseen circumstances".

In a statement posted to Ticketek's website , the 33-year-old musician and star of HBO series The Idol said he was "deeply disappointed" but new dates for the After Hours til Dawn tour would be announced next year.

People who bought tickets for the cancelled dates will be contacted with new tour dates when they are known, and will be able to use their tickets for the rescheduled shows.

Those unable to make the new dates will be able to have their money refunded.

A representative of tour promoter Live Nation said the company understood fans would be disappointed, and it was working with the Canadian singer to reschedule the shows.

"We will make a further announcement as soon as possible," the statement said.

The Weeknd has abruptly postponed his Australian stadium tour just two weeks out from its start date.

The Canadian singer – real name Abel Tesfaye – was due to kick off his ‘After Hours Til Dawn’ tour in Brisbane on November 20, but has pulled the pin citing “unforeseen circumstances”.

“Due to unforeseen circumstances, we must reschedule the Australia/New Zealand tour,” The Weeknd said in a statement.

“New dates will be announced next year, and current tickets will be valid for the new shows. Refunds will be available for those unable to attend the new dates. Deeply disappointed but can’t wait to be there with you!”

Local entertainment company Live Nation, which is looking after The Weeknd for the Australian leg of his tour, added, “We understand fans will be disappointed, and Live Nation is focused on working with The Weeknd to secure a new tour schedule. We will make a further announcement as soon as possible.”

Ticketek has updated The Weeknd’s ticketing page on its website, saying ticket holders would be contacted with new dates “in due course”.

“Patrons unable to attend the new dates can obtain a refund from the point of purchase,” the website added.

The Weeknd, 33, announced six Australian dates at the end of August much to the excitement of his local fans.

He was due to perform at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium on November 20 and 21, before hosting back-to-back shows at Sydney’s Accor Stadium on November 24 and 25.

His final shows in Australia were set for Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on December 1 and 2, before the star was headed to New Zealand for two shows at Auckland’s Eden Park on December 8 and 9.

The tour is in support of his fourth and fifth studio albums, After Hours (2020) and Dawn FM (2022).

The Weeknd wrapped the European leg of the tour in August, before performing shows in Latin America in September and October.

A representative for Live Nation Australia and New Zealand added, “We understand fans will be disappointed, and Live Nation is focused on working with The Weeknd to secure a new tour schedule. We will make a further announcement as soon as possible.”

Fans began voicing their concerns about the upcoming tour yesterday (2 November) when ticketing links to The Weeknd’s shows that weren’t sold out suddenly went dead.

The Blinding Lights singer also removed the information about his Australian and New Zealand dates from his Instagram bio. The Weeknd’s most recent tour date was in Mexico on 25 October.

The  After Hours Til Dawn Tour celebrates The Weeknd’s latest albums, 2020’s  After Hours  and his January 2022 release,  Dawn FM . So far on this tour, The Weeknd has broken attendance records in London and Milan, selling hundreds of thousands of tickets all across Europe.

When the tour announcement arrived in August, it was three months after The Weeknd revealed that he’d no longer make music as The Weeknd . “The visuals are vital to my career,” he told W Magazine in May before admitting, “The album I’m working on now is probably my last hurrah as The Weeknd.

“This is something that I have to do. As The Weeknd, I’ve said everything I can say.”

The Weeknd last toured Australia in December 2017. The Music  reviewer Madelyn Tait wrote about his show at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena, “The Weeknd proved himself as a  phenomenal live act  with an extensive discography of hits.”
