The Weeknd 2026 Tour: UK & Europe dates, tickets, prices, and resale tips

The Weeknd’s record-breaking stadium run isn’t slowing down. Fresh off a monster stretch across North America and beyond, he’s pushing the After Hours Til Dawn Tour into 2026 with a summer takeover of Europe and the UK. Playboi Carti is locked in as special guest for the European and UK dates, while the Latin American leg earlier in the year features Anitta. This is a proper stadium season: big venues, multi-night stands, and a production scale you can spot from the motorway.

The timeline is set. The 2026 extension opens April 20 in Mexico City, rolls through Latin America, and lands in Europe in July. From there, it’s a clean sprint through August, with headline stops at some of the continent’s most in-demand venues. Five nights at Wembley is the headline-grabber, but the schedule around it is stacked: Paris, Frankfurt, Warsaw, Stockholm, Dublin, and a final run in Madrid to close out the month.

Sales for the UK and Europe shows went live on September 12, 2025, two days after Latin America. Demand moved fast, as expected. The tour is produced by Live Nation, backed by a high-profile sponsorship from Nespresso, and still tied to its global charity partners—Global Citizen and the United Nations World Food Programme. One dollar from every ticket goes to education and hunger relief, which means every sold-out night pushes real money to real programs.

This tour celebrates a trilogy that defined the 2020s for The Weeknd: After Hours (2020), Dawn FM (2022), and 2025’s Hurry Up Tomorrow. That story arc—fame, fallout, and whatever comes after—has driven a show that’s more like a feature-length film than a standard concert. It’s also working at the box office. Within the first 100 shows, the tour cleared $635.5 million, placing it among the highest-grossing tours ever. And there’s plenty of runway left in 2026.

If you’ve seen this tour before, you know the basics: a sweeping runway stage, cinematic visuals, a wall of lights, and a setlist that hits the big singles without leaving the newer cuts behind. If you haven’t, think maximalist stadium show with the pacing of a dance record. The Weeknd has turned stadiums into nightclubs—without losing the scale.

UK & Europe dates and venues

The European and UK run sticks to major stadiums and, in a lot of cities, doubles or triples the dates to meet demand. Here are the announced multi-night stops and their windows. Single-city travel plans become much easier when you’ve got options across two or three nights.

• Paris, Stade de France: July 10–12, 2026
• Frankfurt, Deutsche Bank Park: July 31–August 1, 2026
• Warsaw, PGE Narodowy: August 4–5, 2026
• Stockholm, Strawberry Arena: August 8–10, 2026
• London, Wembley Stadium: August 14–19, 2026 (five nights)
• Dublin, Croke Park: August 22–23, 2026
• Madrid, Riyadh Air Metropolitano: August 28–29, 2026

Playboi Carti is set as the special guest for all European and UK dates. Expect doors to open early and the main set to start before sunset at some venues—summer schedules can push start times forward depending on local curfews. If you’re traveling, plan for stadium-level entry checks and give yourself extra time around transport hubs. In London and Paris in particular, walking in from one or two stops away can be faster than queuing at the main station by the venue.

The Wembley run will be the focal point for UK fans. Five nights in a row is rare air, even in a post-pandemic touring world where stadium acts stack dates. Multi-night stands usually mean multiple production holds and staggered releases of tickets as sightlines are confirmed. If you missed the initial sale, keep an eye on official channels for those controlled “production release” drops in the weeks and months before each show.

Dublin’s Croke Park remains one of the loudest stadiums in Europe, and Stockholm’s August stretch lands in the peak of festival season, so accommodation will tighten up quickly. Frankfurt and Warsaw should be relatively straightforward travel-wise, but big stadium events still stress-test local transport. Madrid’s end-of-August dates sit right in late-summer travel season, which can inflate flights and hotels—booking early matters here.

Tickets, prices, and resale tips

Ticket sales for Europe and the UK began September 12, 2025. If you’re still hunting, you’re not out of luck. Stadium tours release inventory in waves: initial on-sale, followed by VIP holds, sightline checks, and late production drops. Extra side-stage and limited-view seats often appear once the rigging is finalized. Those drops tend to happen quietly, so checking official ticket pages regularly pays off.

What about price? Expect dynamic pricing on standard seats in most markets. Face value varies by country and venue size, but based on earlier legs in this tour cycle, entry-level seats have typically started in the lower end of the stadium range, with prime lower-tier and floor seats priced higher. VIP and hospitality packages can run well into the premium bracket, especially for Wembley and Paris. Treat any specific numbers you see floating around social media with caution—official pages will show live pricing at checkout.

If you’re going VIP, know what you’re buying. Packages usually trade better sightlines and bundled perks—early entry, merch items, or lounge access—for a higher cost. They do not always guarantee front-row positions unless explicitly stated. Read the package description end to end before you commit.

Worried about scams? Stick to the official seller for your city and its approved resale platform. That’s usually the only way to get a verified transfer with a new barcode. Avoid screenshots, PDFs sent by strangers, and any insistence on off-platform payment apps. If a price looks too good to be true for a sold-out floor section, it usually is.

Many European markets now offer face-value or price-capped resale within the official system. That keeps prices closer to what you’d have paid on day one and blocks speculative listings. Where caps aren’t in place, you’ll see bigger swings. The best tactic is patience: prices often settle after the first scramble, and they can dip again in the week of the show as sellers race to offload extras.

One more tip: don’t sleep on accessible seating releases. If you qualify, most venues reserve dedicated inventory and often have a separate phone or email route for accessible tickets. These areas are designed for clear sightlines and easier entry, which can make the whole night smoother.

As for presales, the big waves are over, but venue and promoter holds can still surface as “newly released seats.” Sign in to your ticketing account ahead of any announced release window, save your payment method, and use one device and one browser tab. Spamming refresh on multiple tabs can get you rate-limited at the worst time.

How about travel planning? Build some slack into your itinerary. Stadium shows end alongside tens of thousands of people heading to the same trains and rideshares. If you need to catch a last train, aim for a seat near an exit and map your route before the opener starts. For Wembley, the Wembley Park and Wembley Central stations both work; sometimes a short walk to a less obvious route beats standing in a turnstile queue for half an hour.

Setlist expectations are pretty safe to make. The show blends the After Hours and Dawn FM hits with newer additions from Hurry Up Tomorrow. The run time sits in the headliner zone—north of 90 minutes—and moves fast. Even with guests on the bill, this is The Weeknd’s night. The production has leaned on striking cityscape visuals and moody lighting across earlier legs; expect refinements for the 2026 build as the team tweaks sightlines for each stadium.

On the business side, the scale is hard to miss. Crossing $635.5 million in 100 shows placed the tour inside the all-time top tier before this 2026 segment even kicked off. With Europe and the UK adding high-capacity nights—and multiple cities booked for two or more shows—the numbers are poised to climb again. Live Nation’s footprint across these markets helps keep routing tight, costs efficient, and production consistent from country to country.

The charity piece matters too. With one dollar from every ticket dedicated to education and hunger relief via Global Citizen and the UN World Food Programme, the math adds up quickly in stadiums. When you’re moving 60,000 people a night, even the small-per-ticket model scales into meaningful funding across a full run.

Not sure whether to buy now or wait? If you’re aiming for specific floor sections or lower-tier center blocks at Wembley or Paris, moving early is usually the safer play. If you’re flexible—upper tiers, side views, or weeknight shows—watch for those later releases and official resale listings. Week-of-show drops are common when trucks are parked, sightlines are confirmed, and the production team signs off on extra seats.

One last note for collectors: venue merch lines can be intense at the first show in each city. If you don’t care about the poster date, hit the stand during Playboi Carti’s set or right after doors open. For those who do want the specific city print, budget the time or check whether the venue has roving sellers inside the concourses. Touring crews have been getting smarter about spreading out the crush.

If you’re still scanning for After Hours Til Dawn tickets, keep it simple: official seller first, approved resale second, and patience as your fallback plan. As this run proved again and again, more seats tend to surface. And with a slate of summer nights across Europe and the UK, there’s more than one path into the stadium.
