The show featured an electrifying opening set by rapper Playboi Carti, who surprised fans by bringing out Travis Scott for a performance of their hit song 'FE!N'.

After performing 'Blinding Lights,' The Weeknd surprised the audience with a multi-song encore that included 'Moth to a Flame' and 'House of Balloons,' further energizing the crowd.

Throughout the night, The Weeknd engaged with fans, showcasing a more personable side and creating intimate moments, including a sing-along of 'Out of Time' with a lucky audience member.

The Weeknd made a triumphant return to SoFi Stadium on June 25, 2025, kicking off a four-night performance run that marks a significant comeback after a vocal incident at the same venue in 2022.

This leg of The After Hours til Dawn Tour is one of the biggest of the year, with expectations to draw around 200,000 fans across the Los Angeles shows, following a successful performance at MetLife Stadium earlier this month.

The atmosphere was described as triumphant and celebratory, reflecting his strong connection with the Los Angeles audience and marking a significant event for both The Weeknd and his fans.

With this four-show run, The Weeknd has made history as the male artist with the most sold-out shows at SoFi Stadium, achieving a total of seven performances during his career.

The 2022 vocal loss incident inspired The Weeknd to create his first leading role in a feature film titled 'Hurry Up Tomorrow,' which he co-wrote, chronicling his journey through music and performance.

The concert served as a reclamation of the 2022 incident, representing a pivotal turning point in The Weeknd's career and personal journey, as he addressed the crowd about his previous performance where he lost his voice.

Expressing his excitement to be back, The Weeknd stated, 'It’s been way too long, Los Angeles. We have some memories on this stage. I came back with a vengeance.'

The Weeknd delivered a visually stunning performance with elaborate staging, including red-cloaked dancers and a giant gold statue, performing over thirty songs in a nearly two-and-a-half-hour set.

His setlist included popular tracks like 'I Can’t Feel My Face,' 'Blinding Lights,' and 'Save Your Tears,' but some fans expressed hopes for specific songs in the upcoming shows.
