The biggest R&B tour in the history of music is coming to Manchester this week – with Canadian superstar The Weeknd bringing his After Hours Til Dawn Stadium Tour to The Etihad.<\/a><\/p>\n

Originally launched in 2022, the major tour has travelled all over the world in the last three years. It celebrates the singer-songwriter’s acclaimed album trilogy made up of 2020’s After Hours, 2022’s Dawn FM and last year’s Hurry Up Tomorrow.<\/p>\n

The artist, real name Abel Tesfaye, first emerged on to the music scene with the release of his debut mixtape, House of Balloons, back in 2011. Since then, he has released six studio albums and earned recognition with global hits like Earned It, Can’t Feel My Face, Blinding Lights, Starboy, and Save Your Tears. Over the years, he’s worked with the likes of Madonna, Daft Punk, Ariana Grande, and Drake.<\/p>\n

His two shows at the Etihad on Thursday (June 11) and Friday (June 12) will mark the first time the Canadian singer has performed in Manchester in three years – having last played a series of shows at the Etihad Stadium back in June 2023.<\/p>\n

In fact, his two shows this week will also mark the first major music concerts to be held at the stadium in three years too. In the meantime, the neighbouring Co-op Live<\/a> venue has hosted major music superstars like Billie Eilish, Bruce Springsteen and Lady Gaga, as well as top-scale ceremonies like the BRIT Awards and the MOBOs.<\/p>\n

But, with work on the \u00a3300 million redevelopment<\/a> of the North Stand now complete, a return to music and large-scale outdoor events was always on the cards.<\/p>\n

If you’re heading to either of The Weeknd’s two shows at the Etihad Stadium this week, here’s everything you need to know in terms of stage times, parking, public transport, last remaining tickets and what you’re allowed to bring with you.<\/p>\n

Support acts<\/strong><\/p>\n

For his two shows at the Etihad, The Weeknd will be supported by ‘hybrid humanoid’ Prince 85 and American rapper Playboi Carti.<\/p>\n

Carti first broke onto the scene with the 2015 release of Broke Boi and he has since released three studio albums to date, including 2025’s Music which featured guest appearances from the likes of Travis Scott, Kendrick Lamar, and Skepta. It reached the top of the charts in both the USA and the UK.<\/p>\n
