The Weeknd Makes a Triumphant Return to SoFi Stadium, Where He Once Lost His Voice: Photos
- Abel Tesfaye, known as The Weeknd, performed the first of four sold-out shows at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on June 25, 2025, as part of his 'After Hours Til Dawn' tour final leg.
- This run follows his September 2022 voice loss at the same venue, which forced him to cancel shows and perform two make-up dates in November 2022, highlighting his complex ties to SoFi Stadium.
- The June 25 concert featured more than 40 songs set in a post-apocalyptic stage design, including hits like 'Out of Time' and 'Die for You,' with guest artist Playboi Carti joining for select numbers.
- Tesfaye told The Times that the significance of the event goes beyond himself, highlighting how music profoundly moves and influences audiences, while his agent Darryl Eaton confirmed that 200,000 tickets were sold for the four-night engagement.
- The tour may mark an end to The Weeknd's current artistic persona, making these performances possibly the last chances for Los Angeles fans to see him at SoFi Stadium.
