The Weeknd announces Croke Park dates
One of the world's biggest stars returns to Ireland in 2026.
The Weeknd has announced a Croke Park date as an extension of his record-shattering ‘After Hours Til Dawn’ tour. The diamond-certified superstar stops off at the historic Dublin venue on Saturday 22 & Sunday 23 August 2026. These performances mark the latest chapter in the Canadian artist’s stadium run, originally launched in 2022.
The Weeknd will be joined by rapper and frequent collaborator Playboi Carti.
Tesfaye previously brought the ‘After Hours Til Dawn’ tour to Ireland for an electrifying performance at Marlay Park in Summer 2023. Now, the tour is shining a spotlight on his celebrated album trilogy – After Hours (2020), Dawn FM (2022), and Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025). With the latest release, Irish fans have a fresh setlist to look forward to when the tour touches down in Dublin this time around.
