The Weeknd May Retire Alias After 2025 Tour

The Weeknd, also known as Abel Tesfaye, launched his After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour 2025 in Glendale, Arizona, with support from Playboi Carti and Mike Dean. The tour supports his latest album, 'Hurry Up Tomorrow,' the final part of the trilogy that began with 'After Hours' and 'Dawn FM,' and which debuted at number one on the Billboard charts. The opening night featured nearly 40 songs and elaborate visuals, including a dramatic stage and collaborative performances with Playboi Carti. Tesfaye has announced that this tour could be his last performing as The Weeknd, adding significance for fans. He is also preparing for the release of the 'Hurry Up Tomorrow' film, directed by Trey Edward Shults, marking a shift in his artistic process as he focuses solely on acting after criticism surrounding 'The Idol.' The tour will continue across North America before resuming in Detroit.
