The Weeknd has announced dates for his long-postponed North American tour. The R&B superstar will embark on his first-ever stadium tour this summer along with Doja Cat as special guest.
The first leg of the “After Hours Til Dawn Tour” will kick off on July 8 at Rogers Center in Toronto. Tickets officially go on sale on Monday, March 10.
Additional dates in Mexico, South America, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Africa and the Middle East will be announced later on.
The After Hours World Tour was initially set for 2020 and then postponed until 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It was again rescheduled for early 2022, but the Weeknd again postponed the dates to summer of 2022 to bring his live experience to football stadiums.
The singer also launched his XO humanitarian fund in conjunction with the United Nations World Food Program. The singer will donate one dollar from each ticket in addition to a $500,000 donation from the singer and an additional $1 million donation from World Food Program USA.
“The goal with this fund is to provide immediate life-saving support to people who are on the brink of starvation. I’m so thankful to have WFP as a partner and to further expand our reach to those who need it most,” said the Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye.
