The Weeknd rose to global prominence with the haunting R&B anthem “Wicked Games” in 2011, but it was the massive commercial and critical success of tracks like “Can’t Feel My Face,” “Starboy,” and “Blinding Lights” that cemented his status as one of the most influential artists of the 21st century. Born Abel Tesfaye in Toronto, Canada, The Weeknd’s sound blends moody synths, cinematic production, and lyrics that delve into love, fame, and the shadows of modern life.
His music has evolved from underground mixtapes into multi-platinum, genre-blurring projects. Albums like Beauty Behind the Madness, Starboy, After Hours, and Dawn FM have pushed pop boundaries while exploring themes of loneliness, euphoria, and existential reflection. His performances are equally acclaimed — blending narrative storytelling with elaborate staging, immersive visuals, and dystopian aesthetics.
This 2026 stop at Croke Park is part of his After Hours Til Dawn Tour, originally launched to support both After Hours and Dawn FM. The tour showcases an elaborate sci-fi-meets-neon cityscape stage design, backed by cutting-edge lighting and a setlist that traverses The Weeknd’s entire discography. It’s not just a concert — it’s a theatrical experience on a massive scale. Dublin is one of just a few cities on the European leg, making this a rare chance for Irish fans to see the full stadium production live.
