The Weeknd fans have predicted ‘absolute chaos’ ahead of this week’s presale, as only two Wembley Stadium dates have been confirmed.
In case you missed it, Abel Tesfaye, also known as The Weeknd, has announced the After Hours Til Dawn 2026 European Tour.
Presale kicks off at 12pm on Tuesday, 9 September via Ticketmaster. General sale will follow at 12pm on Friday, September 12 via Seat Unique, Live Nation, and Ticketmaster.
But British fans are not happy that there are only two Wembley Stadium show dates so far, as there is sure to be overwhelming demand for tickets.
On Reddit, one fan wrote: “I am worried that he isn’t going to add any more dates and that the tickets will go within a minute and that it will be hard to get your hands on them.
“It will be absolute chaos during the sales (I already saw comments of people saying they’re going to use 10 laptops and what not). What are your thoughts about it? I’m just worried I’m going to miss out on his last tour.”

Another shared, “I’m in the UK and I’m hoping he adds more dates than just the two Wembley shows.”
A third wrote: “Manchester was insane last time, so I don’t see why he wouldn’t wanna do it again this time.”
According to one fan, The Weeknd added further shows following the initial announcement, so Brits could be in luck. Fingers crossed!
