Four nights, one stadium, one artist: The Weeknd was set to play Kai Tak Stadium on October 24, 25, 30 and 31, 2026 as part of the After Hours Til Dawn Tour. The run was split into two pairs of shows a few days apart, which shaped flights, hotel nights and the option of attending more than one date.
Kai Tak Stadium is Hong Kong’s newest large-scale venue, built on the site of the former Kai Tak Airport in Kowloon. It’s designed as a bowl with a retractable roof, holding tens of thousands for concerts of this scale, and it has quickly become the city’s go-to address for stadium tours since opening.
Getting to Kai Tak Stadium
The stadium sits in the Kai Tak development, on the Kowloon side of the harbour, not far from Kowloon Bay and Kowloon City.
- MTR: Kai Tak Station on the Tuen Ma line has exits that feed directly into the Kai Tak development; from there it’s a signposted walk to the stadium.
- Taxi or ride-hail: drop-off points are set up around the stadium perimeter on event nights, and queues are long immediately after a show ends.
- From Hong Kong Island: the cross-harbour tunnel routes get heavy on show nights, adding time to trips from Causeway Bay, Wan Chai or Central.
The MTR is generally less stressful than a car for a stadium show of this size, because road access funnels through a limited number of points once tens of thousands of people leave at once.
Tickets and how to buy them
Tickets for the Kai Tak Stadium shows were sold through official ticketing platforms tied to the venue and promoter, with presale windows followed by general sales. Across a four-date run, availability and pricing can differ night to night depending on demand for each date.
Resale sites and unofficial marketplaces are a weak spot: stadium shows in Hong Kong routinely attract inflated resale pricing and counterfeit listings once official allocations are gone.
Picking a date if you have options
The four shows across two weekends offered a flexibility that most single-night tour stops don’t.
- October 24 and 25 made up the first pair, suited to combining the concert with a short Hong Kong stay either side.
- October 30 and 31 fell on the following Friday and Saturday, and weekend dates typically bring heavier demand and a livelier atmosphere around the stadium.
- For visitors flying in specifically for a show, Friday or Saturday dates leave a full weekend to explore the city.
What to expect on arrival
Stadium concerts at Kai Tak follow the usual big-venue rhythm: doors open well before the headline set, with security and bag checks at every entrance. Bags are typically restricted in size.
Food and drink inside stadiums of this size in Hong Kong tend to be concession-stand basics rather than a dining destination, while Kowloon City and Kowloon Bay, both a short ride away, offer proper meals.
Getting the flow right on the night
Locals heading to big Kai Tak shows tend to arrive with time to spare rather than right at doors, since the walk from the MTR station through security can take longer than expected once thousands of people are moving the same direction.
- An Octopus card (Hong Kong’s tap-to-pay transit card) works on the MTR and at most stadium concession stands, and avoids fumbling for exact change.
- Leaving a song or two before the encore ends usually avoids the longest waits in the post-show MTR crowd.
- For anyone attending more than one date, accommodation in Kowloon rather than Hong Kong Island cuts cross-harbour travel time each night.
Kai Tak’s newness means some crowd-flow logistics are still settling in as the venue hosts more large tours, so the walk in and out can take longer than at older venues.
