The Weeknd has announced his much anticipated Australian return. The hitmaker has locked in for four shows in Melbourne and Sydney this October.

This will be The Weeknd’s largest-ever Australian tour and his first since 2017, with the Canadian singer-songwriter excited to finally make his way back Down Under.

"I feel a strong pull to perform in Australia before moving on to the next chapter and want to make sure you all know I hadn't forgotten about you," he said in a statement.

"When I return now, it will be the right time, and I promise it will be such a special experience. I can't wait to see you all!"

After cancelling his 2023 tour, The Weeknd has managed to find time in his busy schedule to bring his After Hours Til Dawn tour to Australian shores, with the ‘Starboy’ performing two shows at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne on Saturday, October 5 and Sunday, October 6, followed by two more shows at Sydney’s Accor Stadium on Tuesday, October 22 and Wednesday, October 23.

The Weeknd will be joined on tour by DJ and producer Mike Dean and Toronto songstress Chxrry22.
