Global superstar The Weeknd performed his first-ever Singapore concert on December 5, 2018, at the Singapore Indoor Stadium before returning on October 2 and 3, 2026, to play the National Stadium for his After Hours Til Dawn Tour, nylon.com.sg reported.
Giant gold robot statue anchors National Stadium stage
The Singapore production closely matched the artist’s other country performances, anchored by a ruined-city backdrop and a towering 40-foot gold robot statue created exclusively for the tour by Japanese artist Sorayama, nylon.com.sg reported. The massive sculpture took centrestage along a symbolic runway while The Weeknd emerged behind a glittering mask with green lasers projecting from the eyes. Dancers in red robes and masks accompanied the production, moving with ceremonial restraint along the stage.
The staging drew on the narrative arc of a three-album trilogy comprising After Hours, Dawn FM, and Hurry Up Tomorrow, according to nylon.com.sg. Time Out Worldwide noted that the stadium tour is built directly around those three records released in 2020, 2022, and 2025. The evening’s lighting design moved deliberately from deep violet to amber and finally to a pale dawn blue, organizing the progression from night towards morning in a disciplined and cinematic presentation.
Chart hits draw 50,000-plus strong audience
The musical programme balanced familiar chart hits with a wide portfolio of tracks, drawing a 50,000-plus strong audience to the National Stadium, nylon.com.sg reported. Tracks like “Blinding Lights” and “Save Your Tears” drew the largest collective response as the stadium sang and recorded with phones as one. Central portions of the set were sustained by “Starboy” and “Can’t Feel My Face.”
Quieter passages, notably “Die For You” and “Out of Time,” offered the clearest demonstration of vocal command, particularly a falsetto that remains the most distinctive element of the live sound, nylon.com.sg reported. Time Out Worldwide published the complete setlist performed during the tour stops, which included “Baptised in Fear,” “Open Hearts,” “Wake Me Up,” “After Hours,” “Starboy,” “Heartless,” “Faith,” “Cry for Me,” “São Paulo,” “Until We’re Skin & Bones,” “Take My Breath,” “Sacrifice,” “How Do I Make You Love Me?,” “Eva,” “Can’t Feel My Face,” “Lost in the Fire,” “Often,” “Given Up on Me,” “I Was Never There,” “The Hills,” “Timeless,” “RATHER LIE,” “Creepin’,” “Niagara Falls,” “One of the Girls,” “Stargirl Interlude,” “Out of Time,” “I Feel It Coming,” “Die for You,” “Is There Someone Else?”, and the closing collaboration “Moth to a Flame” with Swedish House Mafia.
Restricted seating tickets remain available for purchase
The 2026 Asia leg serves as the final leg of the tour, marking Singapore as the last chance to catch the show before this particular era clocks out, Time Out Worldwide reported. Nylon.com.sg noted that recent interviews indicate the artist is not retiring and will keep performing under his stage moniker, despite the tour being widely described as the closing chapter of the persona under which Abel Tesfaye built his career.
While the shows at the National Stadium are sold out, tickets with restricted seating remain available for purchase, according to Time Out Worldwide. Doors open at 6 pm for the Friday, October 2, and Saturday, October 3, 2026 performances.
