On August 18, The Weeknd held a one-night-only concert at London’s Wembley Stadium, continuing his After Hours Til Dawn tour that has achieved record-breaking numbers. The Weeknd’s London show welcomed approximately 87,000 guests, breaking “Wembley Stadium’s record for sales with their traditional concert set up,” as announced by Live Nation UK.

The Weeknd’s capital show closed out his European tour leg before announcing Australia and New Zealand dates to end 2023, selling the highest number of tickets in Wembley Stadium history. The Grammy-award winner’s After Hours Til Dawn tour hosted over 1.6 million attendees across several shows in London, Milan, and Paris. He also broke the attendance record with 160,000 concert-goers across two nights at London Stadium in July.

The Weeknd will head to Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Auckland in November alongside special guests Mike Dean and Chxrry22 after hitting Latin America with Kaytranada next month.
