It’s almost time for The Weeknd.
Yes, that’s right — the superstar R&B vocalist (born Abel Tesfaye) is on his way to the Bay Area to perform two huge shows, July 8 and 9, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.
That’s the same place The Weeknd played on his last trek through town, captivating 50,000-plus fans with his first-ever stadium headlining jaunt — dubbed the After Hours Tour — back in August 2022.
That’s also the same tour that The Weeknd is still peddling to this day, only under a slightly changed title — now dubbed the After Hours ’til Dawn Stadium Tour.
The Weeknd is supporting his latest album — “Hurry Up Tomorrow” — which was released back in January and immediately zoomed up to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200.
The album — which is reportedly the final chapter in a trilogy that began with 2020’s “After Hours” and 2022’s “Dawn FM” — is a companion piece to the 2025 psychological thriller film of the same name (starring The Weeknd). The record, however, was far better received than the film, which was trashed by critics and basically ignored by movie-goers.
Fortunately, The Weeknd isn’t counting on future film roles to pay the bills. Instead, he can just keep enjoying those stadium box office hauls for the foreseeable future.
