The Weeknd is set to deliver five monumental performances at London's Wembley Stadium this month, running from Friday August 14 to Wednesday August 19, 2026. The After Hours til Dawn Tour, which previously visited the UK in 2023, celebrates the artist's acclaimed album trilogy: After Hours (2020), Dawn FM (2022), and Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025). With over two dozen shows still scheduled before the tour concludes in October 2026, this residency marks a significant moment in London's summer concert calendar.
Stage Times and Schedule for Each Show
Gates will open at 5pm for most dates, with one exception: the Sunday August 16 show will open at 4.30pm due to an earlier curfew. The main set is expected to begin at 8.10pm on weekdays and Saturdays, but on Sunday it will start at 7.40pm. The Weeknd's performances typically last around two hours, so most shows should conclude by 10.30pm, with the Sunday show wrapping up before 10pm.
Fans are advised to arrive early to secure good spots and catch the support act, Playboi Carti, who will open all five London dates. The rapper's inclusion adds significant star power to the evening, promising a high-energy opening set.
Seating Map and Stage Design
According to Ticketmaster, the stage at Wembley features a distinctive cross-shaped design that extends deep into the standing area, allowing for an immersive experience. This layout means that even fans in general admission can get close to the action. The seating plan is available on Ticketmaster, and fans are encouraged to review it before purchasing tickets to understand sightlines and restricted views.
Last-Minute Ticket Availability and Pricing
As of the latest update, a limited number of tickets remain for several dates. Restricted view tickets are priced at £85, while verified resale options start from around £90. The final show on August 19 commands the highest prices, with resale platforms like Viagogo and StubHub listing tickets from approximately £100. Given the high demand, fans are urged to purchase through official channels to avoid scams.
Setlist Highlights from Recent Shows
Based on the recent tour stop in Warsaw, as reported by Setlist.fm, fans can expect a mix of hits and deep cuts. The setlist includes fan favorites like 'Blinding Lights,' 'Can't Feel My Face,' 'Starboy,' and 'Save Your Tears,' alongside newer tracks such as 'Baptized in Fear' and 'Open Hearts.' The inclusion of Playboi Carti for 'Timeless' and 'RATHER LIE' adds a collaborative element to the show.
Travel and Transport to Wembley Stadium
Wembley Stadium is accessible via several transport options. Wembley Park Station, on the Jubilee and Metropolitan lines, is the closest Underground stop. Wembley Central, served by the Bakerloo line and London Overground, is also nearby. Additionally, Wembley Stadium Station is served by Chiltern Railways. Fans are advised to plan their journeys in advance, as large crowds are expected.
Bag Policy and Prohibited Items
The venue enforces a strict bag policy: each attendee may bring only one bag, which must be A4 size or smaller. Merchandise purchased outside must remain sealed until inside the stadium. Prohibited items include large umbrellas, bottles, cans, flags with poles over 1 meter, laser devices, and professional cameras with interchangeable lenses. Medical exemptions apply for bags, and service dogs are permitted.
