The Weeknd Kicks Off European Leg of Record-Breaking After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour in Copenhagen, Supporting the World Food Programme

Copenhagen's Parken Stadium erupted into a kaleidoscope of light as The Weeknd launched the European leg of his After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour on June 20, 2026. Two sold‑out nights saw the Canadian artist perform before 50,000 fans each, adding another chapter to a tour that has already eclipsed $1 billion in gross revenue and 7.5 million tickets across 153 shows worldwide.

Central to the spectacle was a 40‑foot sculpture crafted by Japanese futurist Hajime Sorayama. The towering piece—dubbed the largest fine‑art commission for a live event—towered over a landscape of shimmering gold ruins, laser displays, and controlled flames. The visual narrative unfolded alongside immersive projections that transformed the stadium into a nocturnal dreamscape.

From the opening bars of "Hurry Up Tomorrow" to the soaring choruses of "Blinding Lights," "Starboy," and "Can’t Feel My Face," the setlist bridged the Weeknd’s early work with his recent catalog, offering fans a comprehensive journey through his sonic evolution.

Republic Records confirmed that the After Hours Til Dawn Tour is the highest‑grossing run by a male solo artist. In 2026 alone, the tour has sold over 3 million tickets and generated more than $440 million, underscoring its commercial dominance.

The European itinerary continues with multi‑night stadium stops in Munich, Lille, Paris, Amsterdam, Nice, Milan, Frankfurt, Warsaw, Stockholm, London, Dublin, Madrid, Barcelona, and Lisbon before the tour shifts to Asia later in the year.

Every ticket sold across the European dates channels proceeds to the World Food Programme (WFP) via the XO Humanitarian Fund and Global Citizen. The Weeknd, a WFP Goodwill Ambassador since 2021, has donated over $12 million to charities since 2020, including $2 million for emergency food aid in Ethiopia and $4.5 million to supply 18 million loaves of bread to families in Gaza.

The XO Humanitarian Fund, created in partnership with WFP USA, routes tour ticket sales to WFP’s emergency food assistance programs in the world’s most food‑insecure regions. In Denmark, fans can contribute through the Stop Sult Fonden mobile‑pay service (68500) or the Share the Meal app, where a single donation of DKK 5 can feed a child for a day.

Denmark’s broader commitment to food security is reflected in recent government donations of millions of kroner to the WFP for refugees in Uganda and emergency food assistance in Afghanistan.

Per the press release, the European tour dates are as follows: - 26‑27 June – Munich, Allianz Arena - 3‑4 July – Lille, Stade Pierre Mauroy - 8‑12 July – Paris, Stade de France - 16‑18 July – Amsterdam, Johan Cruijff Arena - 21‑22 July – Nice, Allianz Riviera - 24‑26 July – Milan, San Siro - 30‑31 July – Frankfurt, Deutsche Bank Park - 4‑5 August – Warsaw, PGE Narodowy - 8‑10 August – Stockholm, Strawberry Arena - 14‑19 August – London, Wembley Stadium - 22‑23 August – Dublin, Croke Park - 28‑30 August – Madrid, Riyadh Air Metropolitano - 1 September – Barcelona, Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys - 5‑6 September – Lisbon, Estadio do Restelo

The Asian leg will begin on 19 September in Tokyo and conclude on 5 November in Kuala Lumpur.

With its blend of high‑profile production, record‑breaking sales, and a clear humanitarian mission, the After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour stands as a benchmark for how global touring can drive both cultural impact and social good. As the Weeknd traverses Europe and Asia, each ticket purchased not only grants access to a world‑class concert but also contributes directly to WFP’s emergency food assistance programs, reinforcing the artist’s dual role as a cultural icon and humanitarian advocate.
