Australian fans of the music superstar The Weeknd are bloody cheering today, after the one and only motherfuckin’ starboy announced the new Australian dates for his After Hours Til Dawn Tour. We are so BACK!!!
When in April, Abel Tesfaye — famously known as The Weeknd — made the tough decision to cancel his sold-out shows Down Under, Aussie fans were devastated they might have lost the chance to see the record-breaking tour.
But after months of waiting for updates their patience has been rewarded, with the ‘Blinding Lights’ singer sharing a post early this morning that confirmed he would finally be making his long-awaited voyage to Australia for the first time since 2017.
“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,” The Weeknd said in a statement.
“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!”
The Australian and New Zealand leg of the After Hours Til Dawn tour is incredibly anticipated, with tickets selling faster than hotcakes when they were first announced in August 2023.
It was why fans were absolutely spewin’ when the entire tour was cancelled in for “unforeseen circumstances”.
The news of The Weeknd’s return to Australia was sneakily hinted at in Melbourne the night before the big announcement, with a building in the city being projected with the words “the end is near”.
Which we now realise actually meant “the Week-end is near”. Great work Abel, love the pun.
So when are The Weeknd’s new Aussie tour dates? And how can you get tickets to them?!?! Here’s the deets.
