The Weeknd has announced his return to Asia for his upcoming tour called After Hours Til Dawn. However, he’s left the Philippines out of the equation with no planned stops in Manila. The tour will make its way in cities such as Tokyo, Jakarta, Singapore, Seoul, Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Kuala Lumpur, with Japanese hip-hop duo Creepy Nuts and DJ ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U as openers in several stops. The Asia tour is set to run from September to November.
The Weeknd was originally supposed to play in Manila back in December 2018 for his Starboy Tour at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, but the show was canceled over “production requirement issues.”
The tour is billed as the final leg of the series. The After Hours Til Dawn tour kicked off in 2022 and has since hit North America twice, plus Europe, the UK, Latin America, and Australia. The tour was able to earn more than a billion dollars in ticket sales, ranking among the biggest tours ever by a male solo artist according to Live Nation.
