The Weeknd has announced new UK dates as part of his ‘After Hours’ world tour for 2022 – check out the schedule below.
The Canadian artist (real name Abel Tesfaye) was initially due to hit the road in support of his latest album last October, but in May he was forced to push the shows back to June 2021 due to the coronavirus crisis.
Tesfaye will now touch down in the UK on October 6, 2022 for three consecutive performances at The O2 Arena in London. He will then head to Manchester, Birmingham and Newcastle to fulfil his previously announced postponed concerts.
It’s also been announced today (February 3) that The Weeknd will return to the UK in November 2022 for an additional two shows in Glasgow and London. An extra Belfast gig will take place on October 13, 2022.
Tickets for the new dates will go on general sale here next Monday (February 8) at 10am GMT. Those purchased for the postponed concerts will be valid for the corresponding rescheduled appearances.
