The Weeknd at London Wembley Stadium 2026: stage times, last-minute tickets and ultimate guide

The Weeknd is back in London. The global superstar’s After Hours til Dawn Tour, which originally played the UK back in 2023, is returning to the city for five massive shows at Wembley Stadium this month.

Abel Tesfaye’s After Hours til Dawn Tour celebrates the release of his successful trilogy of albums: After Hours (2020), Dawn FM (2022) and Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025). Already one of the most-attended, highest-grossing tours of all time, it’s still got over two dozen shows to go before it finishes in October 2026.

Several huge musicians have hosted residencies at Wembley Stadium this summer. Over the past few months London’s biggest venue has been graced by Harry Styles, My Chemical Romance, Bruno Mars and Luke Combs.
