The Weeknd: After Hours Til Dawn Tour

The Weeknd brings his After Hours Til Dawn Tour to Montjuïc on 1 September 2026, and this The Weeknd Barcelona concert is one of the bigger stadium shows landing here all year. Playboi Carti opens. The venue is Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, the 1992 Olympic stadium that still hosts the city’s largest outdoor concerts, and the show starts at 20:00.
Who’s Playing
Abel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd, headlines. Playboi Carti supports. Live Nation España promotes the date as part of a wider Iberian run that also stops in Madrid three times in late August 2026. The show is open to all ages, but anyone under 16 needs a parent or guardian with them, plus a completed online minors-access form. That form generates the QR code you need to get through the gate, so do it before you leave home.
What to Expect
This is the After Hours Til Dawn Tour, which leans into the neon, noir visuals from the After Hours album era while pulling songs from across The Weeknd’s catalogue. It’s an outdoor stadium show, standing and seated. Standing sections are split into Gold Circle East, Gold Circle West and Pista General. Seated sections run through several price tiers in the stadium’s grada. There’s no indoor backup plan, so check the forecast and dress for whatever Montjuïc gives you that night.
When and Where the Weeknd Plays Barcelona
The concert is Tuesday, 1 September 2026, with doors and showtime at 20:00. Times can shift, so check your ticket close to the date. Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys sits at Passeig Olímpic, 17-19, 08038 Barcelona, on top of Montjuïc hill in the neighbourhood of the same name.
No metro line reaches the stadium directly. The closest stations are Poble Sec (L3) and Plaça Espanya (L1/L3), both a 15 to 20 minute walk uphill through Montjuïc’s gardens and escalators. For an evening show, buses 150, 55 or 13 run from Plaça Espanya straight to the stadium, and that’s the better option if you don’t want to arrive already out of breath. Budget more transit time than you think you need. A stadium show on Montjuïc means heavy foot traffic and crowded buses both before and after.
If you want to make an afternoon of it before the concert, the Montjuïc Olympic Ring is worth walking through while the light is still good, since you’ll already be up there.
Tickets and Prices
Tickets run through Ticketmaster.es, LiveNation.es and El Corte Inglés, and only as mobile QR codes. No PDF, no paper, no screenshot gets you in.

Pista General, the standing floor section, runs €126 plus fees. If you want to be close without paying VIP prices, that’s the tier to watch.

Why Bother With a Stadium Show
Barcelona doesn’t get this scale of pop and R&B tour every year, and a Playboi Carti support slot makes the bill stronger than most stadium dates passing through Spain this summer. There’s also a small charitable angle: €1 from every European ticket goes to Global Citizen and the XO Humanitarian Fund, which supports the UN World Food Programme.
None of that changes the practical reality of the venue. Montjuïc is beautiful and inconvenient in the same breath. You’re trading a scenic hilltop setting for a genuine hike to get there, and a stadium crowd of this size will test the transit options around it. If you plan the approach, arrive early and know your gate, it’s a good night out. If you show up twenty minutes before doors expecting a quick walk from the metro, it won’t be.
Practical Notes
Doors and stage times can move, so recheck details on your ticket a few days out. Accessibility (PMR) seating is available but must be booked by phone through Ticketmaster rather than online. Prices and availability above were last verified in July 2026 against Ticketmaster.es, LiveNation.es and the Estadi Olímpic’s own event page; always confirm current pricing before you buy, since resale and demand can shift things.
