The Weeknd, global R&B icon, announced three shows in Brazil in 2026, with special participation from singer Anitta, promising electrifying performances in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. The performances, part of the After Hours Til Dawn tour, are scheduled for April 26 at Nilton Santos Stadium in Rio, and April 30 and May 1 at MorumBIS Stadium in São Paulo. The partnership with Anitta, who will also be at the Mexico shows, reinforces the connection between the artists, who have already collaborated on standout tracks. Pre-sale of tickets starts on September 7, with general sales from September 10, via the Ticketmaster website. The tour, celebrating the albums After Hours, Dawn FM, and Hurry Up Tomorrow, promises innovative visual production and a setlist with hits like “Blinding Lights” and “Timeless”.
The expectation for the shows is high, as The Weeknd has a history of sold-out performances and record crowds. Including Anitta, one of the biggest stars in Brazilian pop, adds a local touch that should attract even more fans. The tour will also pass through European cities, with Playboi Carti as a special guest.
The Weeknd’s passage through Brazil is one of the highlights of the After Hours Til Dawn tour, which has already broken box office records in North America, grossing over US$ 635 million in 102 shows up to August 2025. In Brazil, fans await a grand production, with immersive sets and visual effects that marked previous performances. Choosing Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo reflects the singer’s popularity in these cities, where he has sold out tickets in past tours. Anitta’s presence, who should open the shows and possibly join The Weeknd in performances, elevates the event’s appeal, uniting global R&B with Brazilian pop.
The shows promise a repertoire spanning from After Hours hits like “Heartless” and “Save Your Tears” to tracks from the newly released Hurry Up Tomorrow, such as “Timeless,” in partnership with Playboi Carti. The blend of musical styles and the chemistry between The Weeknd and Anitta on stage are highly anticipated points for the audience. The production, signed by Live Nation, is described as a theatrical experience, with visual elements connecting the three albums of the trilogy.
Ticket sales for the shows in Brazil begin with an exclusive pre-sale on September 7, at 10 a.m., via the Ticketmaster website, and general sales open on September 10, at 12 p.m. Official box offices, without service fees, open at 1 p.m. on the same day. Prices vary by sector, with options for different audiences, from bleachers to premium seats. In Rio, values range from R$ 290 (half-entry, upper seat) to R$ 950 (full, lower seat). In São Paulo, tickets start at R$ 275 (half-entry, bleachers) and go up to R$ 940 (full, lower seat).
The limit of six tickets per CPF, with up to two half-entries, aims to ensure greater access for fans. High demand is expected, considering that The Weeknd’s shows in Brazil in 2023 sold out quickly. The partnership with Ticketmaster ensures a secure purchase, but fans should be attentive to the deadline to avoid scalpers.
Anitta’s participation in the Brazilian and Mexican shows is one of the big attractions of the tour. The singer, known for hits like “Envolver” and “Funk Rave,” brings her contagious energy to open the performances, in addition to possibly joining The Weeknd in special performances. The collaboration between the two artists is not new, as Anitta has established herself as a global powerhouse, with heavyweight partnerships like Madonna and Maluma. Her presence on stage should highlight the fusion of Brazilian pop with The Weeknd’s R&B, creating a unique moment for fans.
In Mexico, Anitta will also be present at the shows on April 20 and 21, at GNP Seguros Stadium in Mexico City. Choosing the artist reflects her popularity in Latin America and her ability to attract crowds. Fans speculate that the partnership may include joint track performances or even surprises in the setlist, such as live versions of Anitta’s hits adapted to The Weeknd’s style.
In addition to the shows in Latin America, The Weeknd will take the After Hours Til Dawn tour to Europe, with confirmed dates between July and August 2026. Playboi Carti, American rapper known for albums like Die Lit, will be the special guest in the European performances, bringing tracks like “Magnolia” and the collaboration with The Weeknd, “Timeless.” The tour starts in Paris, at Stade de France, on July 10, and includes stops in Amsterdam, Nice, Milan, Frankfurt, Warsaw, Stockholm, London, Dublin, and Madrid.
The European production promises to maintain the same level of grandeur seen in North America, with sets that recall the visual narrative of the trilogy’s albums. The partnership with Playboi Carti reinforces the tour’s appeal to young audiences, mixing R&B and trap in a unique spectacle. In the United Kingdom, the shows in London on August 14 and 15 already generate great expectation, with tickets selling out quickly in previous tours.
The Weeknd’s shows are known for their visual and sonic immersion, with stages that recreate dystopian cities and cinematic narratives. The After Hours Til Dawn tour, which began in 2022, has been praised by publications like Variety for its theatrical approach, connecting the stories of the After Hours, Dawn FM, and Hurry Up Tomorrow albums. In Brazil, fans can expect a setlist that mixes classics like “Starboy” and “The Hills” with recent tracks, plus a possible interaction with Anitta in key moments of the show.
The tour also has a social impact, with donations of US$ 1 per ticket sold destined to Global Citizen and the XO Humanitarian Fund, supporting causes like education and fighting hunger. This initiative reinforces The Weeknd’s commitment to humanitarian causes, something he has maintained since 2022, in partnership with the UN World Food Program.
