The ‘After Hours’ tour takes in three dates at London’s O2 Arena, before winding across the country and calling into Glasgow, Birmingham, Newcastle, and Manchester.

The ‘Can’t Feel My Face’ and ‘The Hills’ singer then hops over the Channel for a number of European dates, including gigs in Amsterdam, Berlin and Paris.

Support will come from Sabrina Claudio, Don Toliver and 88Glam on select dates.

According to Stereoboard, “the tour is expected to showcase some of the most innovative stage design to date, incorporating state of the art production and the most LED lights and video for an arena show yet.”

‘After Hours’ is the R&B songwriter and producer’s follow-up to 2016’s ‘Starboy’, and will be released on 30 March through Republic Records.

So far, the album has accrued over 500 million streams on Spotify, despite only two singles from it – ‘Heartless’ and ‘Blinding Lights’ – being available.

What might The Weeknd play?

With The Weeknd’s UK tour dates some eight months away at the time of writing, it’s hard to guess just which songs might make the cut when Tesfaye takes to the stage in London for the first time.

Sure, hits like ‘Can’t Feel My Face’ and the recently shared ‘Blinding Lights’ are almost certain to be included, but what else might we see given a live airing?

Presumably, a bunch of new songs from The Weeknd’s new album – his first since 2016 – will be chosen for performance.

According to setlist.fm, The Weeknd’s ‘average’ setlist for 2018 – the last year he gigged regularly – was as follows:

  • Pray for Me
  • Starboy
  • Party Monster
  • Reminder
  • Six Feet Under
  • Low Life
  • Might Not
  • Sidewalks
  • Crew Love
  • House of Balloons / Glass Table Girls
  • Secrets
  • Can’t Feel My Face
  • I Feel It Coming
  • The Morning
  • Earned It
  • Wicked Games
  • Often
  • Acquainted
  • Wasted Times
  • Call Out My Name
  • The Hills

How can I get tickets?

Tickets go on general sale at 9am on Friday February 28. They will be available through Live Nation.

Will there be a pre-sale?
