This past weekend, diamond-certified global superstar The Weeknd kicked off the 2024 Australia leg of his record-breaking After Hours Til Dawn Tour with back to back shows at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia. Both shows began with opening sets from Anna Lunoe, Chxrry22, and Mike Dean before The Weeknd played fan favourites “After Hours,” “I Can’t Feel My Face,” “Starboy,” “I Feel It Coming,” “Save Your Tears,” and many more throughout each evening.
The Weeknd has officially announced Hurry Up Tomorrow, the final chapter in his trilogy of studio albums, following Dawn FM (2022) and After Hours (2020). This album marks the creative peak of the series, weaving together existential and self-referential themes, as showcased in the latest teasers that have ignited fans’ excitement for this highly anticipated conclusion. Hurry Up Tomorrow is now available for pre-order on vinyl and CD here.
In the lead-up to the album, The Weeknd recently dropped two new tracks, “Dancing in the Flames” and “Timeless” featuring Playboi Carti.

The Australian leg continues with two shows at Sydney’s Accor Stadium later this month. These four dates mark the next leg of The Weeknd’s After Hours Til Dawn Tour, which achieved remarkable success across North America, Europe, the UK, and Latin America, with more than 60 sold-out stadium shows and over 3 million attendees.
