The Weeknd at London Wembley Stadium 2026: stage times, last-minute tickets and ultimate guide

The Weeknd’s After Hours til Dawn Tour shows in London are nearly finished. Four dates at Wembley Stadium are done and there’s just one to go tonight, on Wednesday August 19. 

The After Hours til Dawn Tour originally played the UK back in 2023. Abel Tesfaye’s tour celebrates the release of an era-defining trilogy of albums: After Hours (2020), Dawn FM (2022) and Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025). Already one of the most-attended, highest-grossing tours of all time, it’s still got over two dozen shows to go before it finishes in October 2026. The 2026 London dates began on August 14.

Several huge musicians have hosted residencies at Wembley Stadium this summer. Over the past few months London’s biggest venue has been graced by Harry Styles, My Chemical Romance, Bruno Mars and Luke Combs.
