The Weeknd To Embark On 'After Hours Til Dawn' World Tour With Doja Cat

The Weeknd announced he is going on a world tour with Grammy-nominated artist Doja Cat.

The Canadian pop star will kick off his “After Hours Til Dawn” World Tour on July 8 at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada, and will run 18 shows which will end in Los Angeles’ SoFi stadium in September.

The “After Hours Til Dawn” tour dates are as follows: July 8 at Rogers Centre, Toronto; July 14 at Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia; July 16 at Metlife Stadium, New York; July 21 at Gillette Stadium, Boston; July 24 at Soldier Field, Chicago; July 27 at Ford Field, Detroit and July 30 at Fedex Field, Washington, D.C.

The other tour dates are Aug. 4 at Raymond James Stadium, Tampa; Aug. 6 at Hard Rock Stadium, Miami; Aug. 11 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta; Aug. 14 at AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas; Aug. 18 at Empower Field at Mile High, Denver; Aug. 20 at Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas; Aug. 23 at BC Place, Vancouver B.C.; Aug. 25 at Lumen Field, Seattle; Aug. 27 at Levi's Stadium, San Francisco; Aug. 30 at State Farm Stadium, Phoenix and lastly, on Sept. 2 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

The world tour is part of the promotional activities for the singer’s latest album, "Dawn FM" but is also meant to shine the spotlight on his 2020 album “After Hours.” The Weeknd was slated to promote the latter in an arena tour in 2020 but the plan was scrapped due to the pandemic.

Ticket sales will begin March 10 through Ticketmaster.

The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, appeared to have planned the tour announcement last week but decided against it as the world’s attention turned to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

“Unfortunately i’m just now seeing what’s happening with the conflict and will pause on tomorrow’s announcement. i pray for everyone's safety," he tweeted on Feb. 24.

The “After Hours Til Dawn” world tour is expected to be the musician’s “most ambitious production to date,” and will reflect the creative journey of both “Dawn FM” and “After Hours,” according to a press statement obtained by Billboard.

The “Blinding Lights” singer has earmarked $1 from each ticket sold from the North American leg of his tour for his new philanthropic endeavor, XO Humanitarian Fund in partnership with the United Nations World Food Programme.
