The Weeknd is banking on arena concerts returning in early 2022.
The Toronto pop superstar has rescheduled his After Hours tour (again) after cancelling and rescheduling due to COVID-19 in 2020 and 2021.
The 104-date global tour is now set to take place throughout most of 2022 and 39 more dates have been added, including a fourth hometown show at Scotiabank Arena on April 11.
The After Hours album came out in March 2020 and the subsequent tour was supposed to feature a stage set with the “most LED lights and video” ever seen in an arena show.
Despite joining the venerated group of Grammy-snubbed artists like Prince and Mariah Carey, The Weeknd is keeping up the promotional momentum during COVID-19.
He’ll perform at the Super Bowl half-time show on February 7 and is dropping a compilation album called The Highlights (that he says is not a greatest hits collection) on February 5.
Tickets go on sale February 8 at 10 am via theweeknd.com/tour.
The Toronto tour dates are below:
February 1 – Toronto, ON at Scotiabank Arena
February 2 – Toronto, ON at Scotiabank Arena
April 10 – Toronto, ON at Scotiabank Arena
April 11 – Toronto, ON at Scotiabank Arena
