The Weeknd cancels his world tour
The Weeknd is refunding tickets for his already postponed world tour, telling fans he wants to invest in “something bigger” rather than move forward with the planned shows.
The Toronto pop superstar was scheduled to begin a massive tour for his “After Hours” album starting with two nights in Vancouver on Jan. 14 and 15, with shows in Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto and Montreal, and stops in the United States and Europe.
However the artist announced on Instagram that he wanted to move his tour to stadiums and is rescheduling for next summer.
He says all current tickets will be refunded and ticket holders “will be given priority to buy tickets for the stadium shows when they go on sale.”
The change of plans was met with mixed reaction online Monday, with some fans expressing frustration they’d have to go through the ticket buying process again.
