For Abel Tesfaye, this is the exit.

After four years on the road, more than 150 shows, 7.5 million tickets and over a billion dollars at the box office — numbers that already make After Hours Til Dawn the highest-grossing tour ever by a male solo artist — The Weeknd is taking the production to Asia for one last lap.

And before the curtain comes down on the persona that has engulfed us for years, the Weeknd is giving us eleven dates across six countries – from a baseball dome outside Tokyo to a new stadium in Kuala Lumpur.

Tesfaye has been telegraphing the end of The Weeknd for two years now. He told W Magazine in 2023 he was "getting ready to close The Weeknd chapter." He told Variety in January 2025 that Hurry Up Tomorrow — the final chapter of a trilogy that began with After Hours in 2020 and ran through Dawn FM in 2022 — would mark the end of his "existence as the Weeknd."

The genesis was a SoFi Stadium show in September 2022 where his voice gave out mid-set; he's described it since as the moment the persona stopped serving him.

He's softened the language a little this year — telling Entertainment Weekly it could be "a rebirth" rather than a death — but the broad strokes haven't changed.

The Weeknd, as we've known him since House of Balloons in 2011, is being retired. And Asia is where it finally ends.

Here's what you need to know.

The Dates

The Asian leg is produced by Live Nation and opens at Tokyo's Belluna Dome on September 20.

Here are the dates:

  • Sept. 20: Tokyo, Japan @ Belluna Dome

  • Sept. 26: Jakarta, Indonesia @ Jakarta International Stadium

  • Sept. 27: Jakarta, Indonesia @ Jakarta International Stadium

  • Oct. 2: Singapore @ National Stadium

  • Oct. 3: Singapore @ National Stadium

  • Oct. 7: Seoul, South Korea @ Goyang Stadium

  • Oct. 8: Seoul, South Korea @ Goyang Stadium

  • Oct. 11: Bangkok, Thailand @ Rajamangala Stadium

  • Oct. 30: Hong Kong @ Kai Tak Stadium

  • Oct. 31: Hong Kong @ Kai Tak Stadium

  • Nov. 4: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia @ TM Stadium National

That Kuala Lumpur date is, as of now, the last scheduled show of the tour — and therefore the last scheduled show of The Weeknd.

How To Buy Tickets

Registration is open through the official tour website until Friday, May 15, 8 p.m. ET. Registered fans get access to the artist presale, which opens Monday, May 18, with timings sent by email and varying by city. A few specifics worth noting:

  • Seoul is not part of the artist presale.

  • Japan onsale timing has not been announced yet — local partners will release that separately.

  • Visa cardholder presale runs from Tuesday, May 19 in select markets — Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.

  • General onsale is Thursday, May 21 in most markets.

Where Should You Go?

Dear Indian passport holders, don’t you just hate having a weak passport in moments like these? If you're flying out of India and want minimum paperwork, the math is straightforward. Three of these countries are effectively walk-in for Indian travellers right now:

  • Thailand (Bangkok, Oct 11) — visa-free, up to 60 days [but rules might change soon]. Bangkok is the cheapest hub to fly into from any major Indian city.

  • Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur, Nov 4) — visa-free for Indian citizens until December 31, 2026, with 30-day stays. The tour's closing night happens to fall inside that window.

  • Hong Kong (Oct 30, 31) — visa-free with a free online pre-arrival registration.

Indonesia (Jakarta, Sep 26, 27) isn't quite visa-free, but it's close: Indian travellers get a Visa on Arrival or an e-VoA, so I’d treat it as almost visa-free.

Whichever country you pick, the passport needs at least six months of validity from your date of arrival.

Why This Tour Is Worth Every Penny

Tours of this scale don't usually have a point, beyond the obvious commercial one. However, this one does.

After Hours Til Dawn is the live conclusion of a trilogy of records — a moody, mortality-obsessed arc that runs from After Hours's neon-noir paranoia through Dawn FM's purgatorial late-night radio bit and into the wreckage of Hurry Up Tomorrow, an album Tesfaye has openly framed as a self-burial. The accompanying film of the same name, in which Tesfaye plays a version of himself coming apart in real time, premiered earlier this year.

What comes after is the part nobody can quite confirm. Tesfaye has said repeatedly he'll keep making music — "I don't think I can stop doing that," he told Variety — just probably not under this name, and almost certainly not at this scale. He's talked about wanting the work to feel like a challenge again, about being tired of the rat race of chart positions and stadium grosses. Whether that means a clean break, a name change, or some looser version of Abel Tesfaye the artist is anyone's guess.

What's not in doubt is that this is the last time the full apparatus — the dystopian stage, the masked dancers, the Blinding Lights singalong with 60,000 people — gets wheeled out.

After Kuala Lumpur, it's gone. If you've spent any portion of the last fifteen years with this catalogue, that's reason enough to get on a flight.
