Hong Kong has waited a long time for this one. The Weeknd at Kai Tak Stadium 2026 is shaping up to be the biggest international concert the city has hosted since the new arena opened — and demand has already rewritten the schedule. Two nights were announced, sold out, and then two more were added, taking the run to four shows across two late-October weekends. If you've got a ticket, or you're still circling for the added dates, here is the verified run sheet: every date, the prices, how to reach the venue, and how to stay clear of the touts.

Why this booking matters
This is a milestone, not just another tour stop. The Weeknd is one of the biggest pop acts on the planet, and these are his first shows in Hong Kong — staged at the city's largest venue, the 50,000-seat Kai Tak Stadium with its retractable roof.
The speed of the sell-out told the story. Live Nation opened with two nights on 30 and 31 October; when those went, the promoter added 24 and 25 October to meet what it called "unprecedented demand". Four stadium nights for a single international act is rare air for Hong Kong, and a sign of how the Kai Tak Sports Park has reset the ceiling for live music in the city.
Dates, times & tickets
The run splits across two weekends, with all four shows scheduled to start at 8:15pm. The 30–31 October nights came first; 24–25 October are the added shows. Here is the confirmed schedule.

The Concert — Key Facts
Note: general admission starts at HK$808 and VIP packages run up to HK$5,998 across nine tiers. The added 24–25 October shows went on general sale on 5 June 2026; the original 30–31 October nights had already sold out. Entry rules apply (see FAQ).
An honest word on availability. Local outlets reported the original two nights selling out, which is exactly why the extra dates appeared. We're not going to print a blanket "completely sold out" line we can't stand behind — promoters do release returned or restricted seats nearer the date. The only reliable check is the official seller, HK Ticketing. If it shows nothing, read the safe-buying note below before you go near a resale.
Who is The Weeknd?
If you somehow need the introduction: The Weeknd, the stage name of Canadian artist Abel Tesfaye, is one of the most-streamed musicians in history. He broke through with the moody Trilogy mixtapes, then went stratospheric with the albums Beauty Behind the Madness, Starboy and After Hours.
His catalogue is a wall of singalongs — Blinding Lights, Starboy, Save Your Tears, Can't Feel My Face and The Hills among them. For a 50,000-capacity stadium crowd, that back catalogue is the whole point: this is a set built for mass, open-air sing-alongs under the lights.
What to expect from the show
The After Hours Til Dawn tour has been one of the defining stadium spectacles of the decade — a dystopian, neon-soaked production that frames The Weeknd's run of hits as a single cinematic journey from dusk "after hours" through to "dawn".
Expect a long main set heavy on the streaming-era singles, big visual production scaled to a stadium stage, and the kind of crowd-wide chorus moments these shows are known for. Treat any setlist circulating online as a guide rather than gospel — running orders shift across a tour, and the Hong Kong nights close out the run.
Kai Tak Stadium: the venue
One thing to get right before you travel: this run is at the Kai Tak Stadium — the 50,000-seat main bowl with the retractable roof — not the smaller 10,000-seat Kai Tak Arena next door. The stadium is the centrepiece of Kai Tak Sports Park (啟德體育園), the 28-hectare complex built on the site of the old Kai Tak airport, and since opening it has hosted the Hong Kong Sevens and major touring concerts.
Kai Tak Stadium
How do you get to Kai Tak Stadium on the night?
Take the train — the entire sports park was planned around the MTR. The Tuen Ma Line serves it from two stops: Kai Tak Station and Sung Wong Toi Station, with Exit D at either roughly a 5–10 minute walk to the stadium. From Central you're looking at around 25–30 minutes door to door, changing onto the Tuen Ma Line at Ho Man Tin or Diamond Hill.
With up to 50,000 people moving at once, the venue runs crowd-control and special transport arrangements on event nights, so build in extra time and sort your journey home before the encore.

Show-Night Game Plan
- Arrive early. Aim to be at the stadium 60–90 minutes before the 8:15pm start. Bag checks and merch queues build quickly across a 50,000-seat venue.
- Use Kai Tak or Sung Wong Toi, Exit D. Splitting across two stations spreads the crowd; either is a short covered walk.
- Tap in with an Octopus. Far faster than single-journey tickets when a stadium empties at once.
- Mind the entry rules. Standing zones are for ages 12+ and 140cm+; seated zones for ages 3+. Confirm bag, camera and outside-food policies before you pack.
- Plan your exit. Trains are packed straight after the show; if you can wait out the first surge, platforms clear fast.
Buying safely
With the original nights gone and the added shows moving fast, this is exactly the kind of concert that draws scammers. Keep it simple and you'll be fine.
Avoid the Scams
Buy only through the official channel, HK Ticketing, and any official resale it announces. Hong Kong has a real problem with concert-ticket fraud and inflated touting, and a sold-out, global-superstar booking is a prime target. Treat private sellers on Instagram, Carousell, Threads or WhatsApp with deep suspicion, never pay by irreversible transfer to someone you can't verify, and be wary of prices far above the HK$808–5,998 face value. Remember: a screenshot of a ticket is not a ticket. When in doubt, walk away.
And if you miss out, the calendar keeps coming. The Live Nation Hong Kong site and the official Kai Tak Sports Park listing are the places to track this run and the next on-sale.
