"What began as the After Hours Tour, originally set for 2020, transformed into something far larger following the pandemic and the explosive success of After Hours. By July 2022, it reemerged as the After Hours Til Dawn Tour, evolving into a globe-spanning run that ultimately stretched across three years. With 110 shows performed in stadiums around the world, the tour cemented itself as one of the defining pop spectacles of the era."
"The tour's trajectory underscores how rapidly The Weeknd's career accelerated in the early 2020s. Initially slated as an arena tour, the original plan reflected his pre-pandemic stature - a chart-topping artist with crossover reach. Then came the unexpected: a pandemic that halted live performance, and simultaneously, a creative surge that vaulted him to another level of visibility. After Hours and its singles became cultural touchstones, redefining his place in pop."
An arena tour planned for 2020 expanded into the three-year After Hours Til Dawn stadium tour after the pandemic and the breakthrough success of After Hours. The global run relaunched in July 2022 and totaled 110 stadium shows worldwide, elevating production scale and conferring pop-spectacle status. The final performance occurred on September 3 at the Alamodome in San Antonio. To mark the tour's end, "Closing Night" was released; the track previously appeared only on select physical Hurry Up Tomorrow editions, including Japanese pressings and Pharrell-designed-cover versions, and had not been widely available on streaming services.
