TOMORROW ALBUM, TOUR ARE HERE FOR THE WEEKND

Tomorrow has finally arrived for fans of The Weeknd, whose long-awaited XO/Republic album Hurry Up Tomorrow dropped today (1/31) in tandem with news of a huge summer stadium tour.

The Live Nation-promoted After Hours Til Dawn trek will begins 5/9 in Phoenix and concludes 9/3 in San Antonio, Texas. It includes doubles at SoFi Stadium (6/25-26) and Toronto's soon-to-open Rogers Stadium (7/27-28).

Playboi Carti and Mike Dean have been tapped as support acts. Visit this link for tickets and tour dates.

The album, which looks, um, really big, closes a chapter for the artist born Abel Tesfaye, ending the trilogy that began with 2020’s After Hours and continued on 2022’s Dawn FM. He’s joined by a number of guests for the trip, including Future, Justice, Carti, Travis Scott, Florence + the Machine, Lana Del Rey and Anitta.

Tesfaye, who canceled a Rose Bowl album-release show and instead donated $1m to fire-relief charities, continues his efforts on that front with Hurry Up Tomorrow. He’ll deliver proceeds from album track “Take Me Back to LA” to the L.A. Regional Food Bank, which is providing emergency food assistance to those directly impacted by the wildfires.

The artist is marking the release with a number of events and partnerships, including a pop-up store and art installation at Hero, at rink level of New York’s Rockefeller Center, open through 2/2.

On those same dates, the Downtown Summerlin location of Hot Topic in Las Vegas will host a Hurry Up Tomorrow “takeover” featuring a The Weeknd x Frank Miller Hurry Up Tomorrow apparel capsule, available only at this outlet. All Hot Topic stores will be selling an exclusive array of themed merchandise, including tees, hoodies, posters and album variants.

The Weeknd, who is managed by SALXCO's Wassim "Sal" Slaiby and YCFU's Amir "Cash" Esmailian, gave fans a taste of Hurry Up Tomorrow on 1/30, performing “Open Hearts” on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!
