The Weeknd Australia Tour 2027

The Weeknd has not announced any concerts in Australia or New Zealand for 2027. As of 9 October 2026 there is no tour, stadium date or festival booking in either country, and the After Hours til Dawn Tour, which brought him to Melbourne and Sydney in 2024, is due to end with its Asian leg in Kuala Lumpur on 5 November 2026.

Abel Tesfaye, the Toronto singer behind the name, has played this part of the world twice as a headliner. In late 2017 the Starboy: Legend of the Fall Tour went round the arenas, from Spark Arena in Auckland to Perth Arena. In October 2024 he came back on a far bigger scale, with two nights at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne and two at Accor Stadium in Sydney.

This page sets out what is and is not known about a possible return in 2027, then gives a full account of his concerts in Australia and New Zealand, the songs he has played here, the albums that made him one of the biggest acts on the ARIA chart, and practical advice for when tickets do go on sale.

The Weeknd Australia Tour 2027: what is announced so far

There is no official information about The Weeknd playing Australia or New Zealand in 2027. The After Hours til Dawn Tour, launched in 2022 and described on Wikipedia as the highest-grossing tour by a male soloist in history, is scheduled to finish on 5 November 2026 at the national stadium in Kuala Lumpur, with the Asian run billed as the tour's final leg. No dates beyond that show have been published anywhere in the world.

The tour already covered Australia: the stadium shows of October 2024 were its only Australian stop, and no New Zealand concert took place on that tour. With the cycle closing in Asia at the end of 2026, a new 2027 tour would need a fresh announcement, and none has been made. His most recent album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, the final part of the trilogy that began with After Hours and Dawn FM, came out in 2025 together with a film of the same name.

In short, as of 9 October 2026 nothing is announced for Australia, nothing for New Zealand and nothing for 2027 elsewhere either. Treat any list of '2027 Australian dates', any listing already selling seats and any 'presale code' for sale online with suspicion until there is an official announcement. If dates are confirmed, this page will be updated, and the alert below will tell you first.

Before The Weeknd Australia Tour 2027: Australia/NZ concert history

The Weeknd's first Australasian headline tour came at the end of 2017, as part of the Starboy: Legend of the Fall Tour. It opened on Wednesday 29 November 2017 at Spark Arena in Auckland, then crossed to Sydney for two nights at Qudos Bank Arena on 2 and 3 December. From there the tour went north to the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on 6 December, back south for two nights at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on 8 and 9 December, to the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on 11 December and finally to Perth Arena on Thursday 14 December 2017.

Those eight shows covered every mainland state capital as well as Auckland, a classic arena route that suited the Starboy era. The album had been released a year earlier and had topped the ARIA chart, and the sets were built around it, opening with 'Starboy', 'Party Monster' and 'Reminder' before turning to older material from the mixtape years.

Nearly seven years passed before he came back. The After Hours til Dawn Tour reached Australia in October 2024 with four stadium concerts: Marvel Stadium in Melbourne on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 October, then Accor Stadium in Sydney on Tuesday 22 and Wednesday 23 October 2024. According to Wikipedia's tour article, the Melbourne pair drew 92,092 people and the Sydney pair 118,968, figures that put the two cities among the bigger stops of that leg.

Opening acts on the Australian stadium dates were Mike Dean, Chxrry22 and Anna Lunoe, the last an Australian DJ and producer. Wikipedia notes that concerts in New Zealand were cancelled, so Auckland, which had opened the 2017 tour, did not get a show in 2024. Spark Arena on 29 November 2017 therefore remains his most recent New Zealand concert.

Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth were also left out of the 2024 run. Their most recent Weeknd concerts are still the 2017 arena dates at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, the Adelaide Entertainment Centre and Perth Arena. Only Sydney and Melbourne have seen him in both eras, each with two nights on both tours.

The table below lists 12 documented Australia/NZ concerts by The Weeknd between 2017 and 2024, with the most shows in Sydney (4), Melbourne (4), Perth (1), Adelaide (1), Brisbane (1), Auckland (1). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

The Weeknd Australia Tour 2027: career and records

Abel Tesfaye was born in Ontario on 16 February 1990 to Ethiopian parents and grew up in Scarborough, on the eastern edge of Toronto. He began uploading songs anonymously to YouTube in 2010 under the Weeknd name, and the mixtapes House of Balloons, Thursday and Echoes of Silence followed in 2011. A year later Republic Records released them together as Trilogy, and his debut studio album, Kiss Land, arrived in 2013.

The move into pop came with Beauty Behind the Madness in 2015, which included 'Can't Feel My Face' and 'The Hills', and Starboy in 2016, whose title track with Daft Punk was a worldwide hit. Both albums reached number one in Australia. The 2018 EP My Dear Melancholy kept the darker side alive with 'Call Out My Name'.

After Hours, released in March 2020, began a loose trilogy. Its single 'Blinding Lights' became the best-performing song in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 and the most-streamed song on Spotify, and the album was another Australian number one. Dawn FM followed in 2022 and Hurry Up Tomorrow in 2025, both topping the ARIA albums chart, with 'Take My Breath' and 'Timeless' among the singles.

Along the way he has won four Grammy Awards, many Juno and Billboard Music Awards, and became the first artist to pass 100 million monthly listeners on Spotify. He co-created and starred in the HBO series The Idol in 2023 and starred in the film Hurry Up Tomorrow in 2025. He has also served as a goodwill ambassador for the World Food Programme since 2021.

The Weeknd Australia Tour 2027: the 2024 stadium nights

The October 2024 concerts were a different kind of show from the 2017 arena tour. The After Hours til Dawn production was built for stadiums, and the Australian leg played only the two largest markets, with two nights in each. Marvel Stadium, the covered stadium in Melbourne's Docklands, hosted the first weekend, and Accor Stadium at Sydney Olympic Park the second pair midweek, more than two weeks later.

The combined attendance reported on Wikipedia, just over 211,000 for the four nights, shows how far his audience had grown since 2017, when he played arenas holding a fraction of that. The sets were long, with more than 30 songs on most nights, and mixed every period of his career, from 'House of Balloons' and 'Wicked Games' to the Dawn FM material and new songs of the time such as 'Dancing in the Flames'.

For anyone hoping for a return, the pattern matters: a stadium tour of this size tends to concentrate on Sydney and Melbourne, as the 2024 leg did. Whether a future visit would include Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide or Auckland again has not been announced.

The Weeknd Australia Tour 2027: Auckland and New Zealand

New Zealand fans have had one Weeknd concert so far: Spark Arena in Auckland on 29 November 2017, the opening night of the Starboy tour in this part of the world. The setlist that night followed the tour's standard running order, starting with 'Starboy' and ending with 'The Hills'.

Wikipedia's article on the After Hours til Dawn Tour records that concerts in New Zealand were cancelled, and no New Zealand date was played on that tour. As of 9 October 2026, there is no announced concert in Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch for 2027.

If a new tour does include New Zealand, Auckland is the most likely city on past form, as it has hosted all of his trans-Tasman visits so far. Until there is an official announcement, that remains only a pattern, not a plan.

The Weeknd Australia Tour 2027: Sydney and Melbourne, two nights each

Sydney and Melbourne are the two cities where The Weeknd has always played more than once. In 2017 Sydney had two nights at Qudos Bank Arena at Olympic Park and Melbourne two at Rod Laver Arena in the sports precinct by the Yarra. In 2024 both cities stepped up to stadiums, again with two nights each.

That gives each city four Weeknd concerts in total, more than anywhere else in Australia or New Zealand. Melbourne's 2024 shows fell on a weekend, while the Sydney pair were on a Tuesday and Wednesday, a sign of how strong demand was even on weeknights.

Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth each had a single arena date in December 2017. None of them has seen him since, which is why fans there watch any tour announcement closely.

The Weeknd Australia Tour 2027: the end of the After Hours til Dawn cycle

The tour that brought The Weeknd to Australia in 2024 started in North America in 2022 and grew into a multi-year stadium run across Europe, Latin America, Australia and Asia. Its last scheduled concert is in Kuala Lumpur on 5 November 2026.

Tesfaye has spoken publicly about closing the chapter of his career tied to the Weeknd persona with Hurry Up Tomorrow, but no plans for 2027 concerts, in Australia or elsewhere, have been announced. Any claim that a new world tour or an Australian leg is 'confirmed' should be checked against an official announcement.

The Weeknd Australia Tour 2027: what to expect live

The 2017 Australian and New Zealand shows ran to around 20 to 24 songs. They opened with 'Starboy', 'Party Monster', 'Reminder' and 'Six Feet Under', moved through older songs such as 'Might Not', 'Crew Love', 'Often', 'The Morning', 'Wicked Games' and 'Earned It', and closed with 'I Feel It Coming' and 'The Hills'. 'Die for You' and 'Can't Feel My Face' also featured, sometimes in medleys.

The 2024 stadium sets were much longer, with between 32 and 39 songs recorded per night. They opened with 'Wake Me Up', 'After Hours', 'Too Late' and 'Take My Breath', and included 'Sacrifice', 'Can't Feel My Face', 'House of Balloons', 'Starboy', 'São Paulo', 'Heartless', 'The Hills', 'Is There Someone Else?', 'Call Out My Name' and 'Save Your Tears'. 'Blinding Lights' came near the end, followed by the Lynch-inspired 'In Heaven (Lady in the Radiator Song)' and, on some nights, newer songs.

Across all twelve shows logged in Australia and New Zealand, 'The Hills', 'Often', 'Starboy', 'Party Monster', 'I Feel It Coming' and 'Wicked Games' were played every night, which makes them the safest bets for any future concert here.

The Weeknd Australia Tour 2027 tickets and presales

There are no tickets for The Weeknd in Australia or New Zealand in 2027, because no concerts have been announced. Any website already selling seats or offering a 'presale code' is not official, and buying from it carries a real risk of losing your money.

When a tour is announced, tickets are normally sold through the official ticketing agent of each venue, often after a short artist presale for fans registered with the artist's mailing list and promoter or card-holder presales. Stadium tickets in Australia are usually mobile tickets in the buyer's name, so buy only from the official outlets named in the announcement, and if you can no longer go, use the official resale option.
