The Weeknd's After Hours til Dawn Tour will take over Wembley Stadium for five consecutive nights in August 2026, with a unique stage design that extends into the pitch. According to Ticketmaster, the seating map reveals a split standing area with gold circle sections, while the venue's total capacity for these concerts is slightly reduced from its maximum of 90,000 due to the larger stage.
Wembley Stadium Seating Plan for The Weeknd
As reported by Time Out, the After Hours til Dawn Tour's London leg will feature a bespoke stage layout. Instead of a conventional stage at the west end, the stage will extend into the middle of the pitch in a sharp cross shape. This design means that approximately half of the standing area will be designated as 'gold circle'.
According to Ticketmaster, the seating map for the tour splits the pitch standing into 'general admission', 'gold circle north', and 'gold circle south'. The rest of the stadium is divided into three levels: Level 1 (lower seating and pitch), Level 2 (middle hospitality, also known as 'Club Wembley'), and Level 5 (all seating above the middle tier).
Wembley Stadium Capacity and Attendance
Wembley Stadium's maximum capacity for music concerts is 90,000, but The Weeknd's shows are slightly smaller due to the larger stage. Over the five dates, which conclude on August 19, the best part of half a million people will have seen The Weeknd at Wembley, according to Time Out.
The current Wembley Stadium, which opened in 2007, has hosted numerous famous musicians. This summer alone, it has seen performances by Harry Styles, My Chemical Romance, Bruno Mars, and Luke Combs. Recent years have also featured tour stops from Taylor Swift, Oasis, and Coldplay.
Famous Headliners at Wembley
Both the original and current Wembley Stadiums have a rich history of iconic concerts. A non-exhaustive list of famous former headliners includes Adele, David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Madonna, Paul McCartney, One Direction, Queen, The Rolling Stones, Ed Sheeran, Spice Girls, Bruce Springsteen, Take That, and The Who.
