Six German stadium nights on the 2026 tour
German fans get an unusually strong share of The Weeknd’s 2026 stadium run. Ticketmaster lists three concerts at Munich’s Allianz Arena on June 25, 26 and 27, 2026, followed by three shows at Frankfurt’s Deutsche Bank Park on July 30 and 31 and August 1, 2026, all under the After Hours Til Dawn banner.

Promoter information highlights that the 27 June date in Munich and the 1 August show in Frankfurt were added as extra nights after strong demand, turning what was originally a smaller German stop into a full six-date stadium residency spread across Bavaria and Hesse. This gives fans in southern and central Germany more chances than on previous tours, which often featured only one domestic city.
Playboi Carti and a billion-dollar tour
The 2026 shows are part of a tour that German music magazine Musikexpress describes as a billion-dollar juggernaut. The outlet reports that After Hours Til Dawn is projected to surpass USD 1 billion in gross revenue across 153 shows with 7.5 million tickets sold worldwide, including the 2026 legs in North and South America, Europe and the UK.

For the European and UK dates, including Munich and Frankfurt, Playboi Carti is announced as special guest, adding a second major name to each night. German coverage notes that this marks one of the most extensive stadium packages Germany has seen from an R&B and pop act in recent years, with capacities in the tens of thousands per city.

How the live show is likely to feel
The Munich and Frankfurt dates follow several years of After Hours Til Dawn shows that have been staged as full stadium productions, with extensive LED staging, fireworks and a setlist leaning heavily on the albums After Hours and Dawn FM. German coverage of the tour emphasises how songs such as Blinding Lights and Save Your Tears are designed as communal sing-alongs in venues built for football rather than clubs.
Because these are outdoor summer shows, fans in Germany can expect evening start times around 8:00 p.m. local time, similar to earlier European stops. The scale means that even seats high up in Allianz Arena or Deutsche Bank Park are expected to be part of an integrated light show, with wristbands and staged lighting synchronised to the music.
Where The Weeknd stands now
The next confirmed live date for The Weeknd is June 25, 2026 at Allianz Arena in Munich, marking the opening night of his six-show German stadium run.
