Fans queue early in Kuala Lumpur for The Weeknd’s tour finale
The Canadian singer’s final two After Hours Til Dawn shows are scheduled for November 4 and 5 at TM National Stadium.
Fans gathered outside Kuala Lumpur’s TM National Stadium on November 4 ahead of The Weeknd’s opening finale concert, with some arriving hours before merchandise sales began. The Bukit Jalil venue is hosting the last two performances of his After Hours Til Dawn Tour, which began in 2022.
A security worker at an official merchandise booth said queues had formed by 8am, although sales did not start until noon. Crowds were building around the stadium by 1pm, with food, drink, merchandise and makeup stations set up outside.
Liegh, a 25-year-old fan from the Philippines, told Malay Mail she and a friend went straight to the venue after arriving in Malaysia that morning to avoid missing out on merchandise. She said she had waited around eight years to see the singer after his 2018 Manila concert was cancelled.
Malaysian concertgoer Syakirah Norizal, 24, travelled from Ipoh with two friends. They had missed out during ticket sales in May but obtained seats after Livenation Malaysia announced another sale in October. She reported smooth traffic until the stadium entrance, where they encountered congestion.
Spectators began entering the stadium by 6pm despite light drizzle. Japanese DJ Yousuke Yukimatsu was scheduled to perform first, followed by Creepy Nutz, with The Weeknd expected onstage from 8.30pm.
