Today, award-winning artist The Weeknd announced 2024 dates in Australia as an extension of his record-breaking 2022/2023 After Hours Til Dawn Tour.
Produced by Live Nation, the newly announced Australia dates will kick off on Saturday, October 5 in Melbourne with back-to-back shows before heading to Sydney with shows on October 22 and 23 at Accor Stadium.
These dates mark The Weeknd's debut stadium performances in Australia and his first return to the region since 2017. Mike Dean, Chxrry22 and Sydney’s own Anna Lunoe will join as support on the four Australia dates.
“I feel a strong pull to perform in Australia before moving on to the next chapter and want to make sure you all know I hadn't forgotten about you. When I return now, it will be the right time, and I promise it will be such a special experience. I can’t wait to see you all!” says The Weeknd.
Due to schedule and logistical constraints, the ‘After Hours ‘Til Dawn’ tour will not be making its way to New Zealand or Brisbane in 2024 and there will be no further cities added.
All 2023 ticket holders will still have the chance to purchase tickets for the Melbourne and Sydney shows during the Past Purchaser Presale starting Wednesday 21 August, at 12pm AEST in Sydney, and 1pm AEST in Melbourne.
To gain access to the presale, previous ticket holders are to register via this form. If you previously signed up for the waitlist, you do not need to re-register. The registration window closes Tuesday 20 August, at 1pm AEST.
Previous ticket holders will then receive an email from Live Nation with access ahead of the presale. Presale access does not guarantee tickets.
TICKETS: Tickets will be available starting with a Past Purchaser Presale beginning Wednesday, August 21. The artist presale will begin Thursday, August 22.
