Australian fans of The Weeknd are thrilled and a little annoyed at the same time as the superstar has announced new dates for his After Hours Til Dawn Tour. Abel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd, had to cancel his sold-out Australian shows in April, leaving fans disappointed. However, after months of anticipation, he’s confirmed his return to Australia but has left South East Queensland off the tour!
In a statement, The Weeknd expressed his commitment to performing Down Under:
“I feel a strong pull to perform in Australia before moving on to the next chapter and want to make sure you all know I hadn’t forgotten about you. When I return now, it will be the right time, and I promise it will be such a special experience. I can’t wait to see you all!” pic.twitter.com/1lrultszyS

The Weeknd had been scheduled to play at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium before the whole Aussie leg of the tour was scrapped, however, the Sunshine State has been left off the latest announcement “due to schedule and logistical constraints”.
The Australian leg of the tour is highly anticipated, with tickets having sold out quickly when first announced in August 2023. The new dates include four stadium shows:
- Saturday, October 5 – Melbourne, Marvel Stadium
- Sunday, October 6 – Melbourne, Marvel Stadium
- Tuesday, October 22 – Sydney, Accor Stadium
- Wednesday, October 23 – Sydney, Accor Stadium
Tickets will go on sale in three waves starting August 21. More details are available on The Weeknd’s official website.
Godspeed, and good luck securing your tickets!
