Ready to have your haircut blown away? The Weeknd sold over 1.6 million tickets to the European leg of his After Hours tour. I’ll give you a moment to catch your breath, before we drop some more news: The Weeknd is bringing the tour Down Under, announcing today that he’ll be hitting Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne, and (for you Kiwis) Auckland.
The tour celebrates The Weeknd’s 2020 album After Hours (it’s hit single ‘Blinding Lights’ was named the new No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 song of all time, surpassing Chubby Checker’s 1960 hit ‘The Twist’), as well as his critically acclaimed album Dawn FM, which was released January 2022. And if 1.6 million ticket sales are anything to go by, it should be a life-affirming pop music experience.
