Fans in South Texas witnessed pop-R&B history last night as The Weeknd wrapped the U.S. leg of his After Hours Til Dawn 2025 stadium tour with a sold-out show at San Antonio’s Alamodome. More than 43,000 people filled the venue, transforming the downtown skyline into a sea of red lights and XO insignias while the Canadian superstar delivered a two-hour set packed with cinematic visuals, pyrotechnics and a career-spanning 32-song set list that included “Blinding Lights,” “Take My Breath” and new fan favorite “Hurry Up Tomorrow.” Organizers encouraged concert-goers to arrive early and plan alternate routes as traffic gridlocked surrounding highways hours before the 8 p.m. curtain time. The Alamodome finale comes on the heels of Abel Tesfaye’s record-breaking double-header at Houston’s NRG Stadium, where he became the highest-grossing Black male artist ever to headline the venue, generating more than $18 million across two nights. Industry analysts say the 2025 U.S. leg alone has surpassed $230 million in ticket sales, positioning The Weeknd among the top five touring acts of the year and setting the stage for his upcoming Latin American run slated to launch in Mexico City this October. As if the live milestone weren’t enough, the 35-year-old surprised fans by dropping “Closing Night,” a professionally shot mini-concert film featuring Swedish House Mafia, on his official YouTube channel just hours before taking the Alamodome stage. The 27-minute visual captures behind-the-scenes footage, rehearsal snippets and an explosive performance of the collaborative single “Moth to a Flame,” giving devotees an immersive preview of what to expect from the newly announced European leg scheduled for summer 2026. Tour buzz has reinvigorated streams of January’s chart-topping sixth studio album “Hurry Up Tomorrow,” which returned to the top 10 on the Billboard 200 this week and propelled the album’s title track to a new peak of No. 7 on the Hot 100. According to Republic Records, global consumption of The Weeknd’s catalog now exceeds 110 million equivalent albums, cementing his status as Spotify’s most-streamed artist for the third consecutive year. City officials credit the concert series with generating an estimated $55 million in local economic impact through hotel occupancy, restaurant sales and ride-share demand, underscoring the power of major-tour tourism in post-pandemic recovery efforts. What’s next? Tesfaye hinted at a deluxe edition of “Hurry Up Tomorrow” featuring unreleased collaborations “from the vault,” and teased a “very different” sonic direction for his eventual stage-name retirement project. For now, he’s basking in the afterglow of a historic stadium run, leaving fans chanting “one more night” long after the final fireworks cracked across the San Antonio sky.
