The Weeknd brings his massive After Hours Til Dawn Tour to Manchester on Friday 12 June 2026, and it's an absolute must-see for fans of modern pop and R&B. This world tour combines two of his critically-acclaimed albums into one epic production, featuring massive production values, killer visuals, and all those chart-topping hits you'll want to hear live. If you've missed The Weeknd before, this is your chance to experience one of the biggest artists in the world doing what he does best.
Etihad Stadium is one of Manchester's premier live music venues, with a capacity of over 60,000 and a reputation for hosting world-class events. Located in the City Centre just south of town, the venue's setup means incredible sightlines from pretty much anywhere in the stadium, and the sound system is genuinely top-notch. The atmosphere at Etihad is always electric, especially for massive touring acts like this.
Doors open at 17:00, so arrive early to soak up the pre-show buzz and grab food or drinks. Getting there's easy – the tram drops you right nearby, or there's decent car parking if you're driving in. Wear comfortable shoes, bring a jacket just in case, and download the venue app beforehand to make the night run smoothly.
