The Weeknd's sold‑out concerts at Warsaw's PGE Narodowy draw massive crowds

Canadian singer The Weeknd performed two sold‑out shows on 4‑5 August 2026 at Warsaw’s PGE Narodowy as part of his After Hours til Dawn tour. The arena was filled with thousands of fans, many of whom queued for hours in temperatures above 30 °C, prompting concerns about heat‑related health issues and calls for medical assistance before entry. The setlist spanned nearly 40 songs, mixing hits such as “Starboy”, “Blinding Lights” and tracks from the new album “Hurry Up Tomorrow”. Guest appearances included Playboi Carti, who performed a short set before The Weeknd’s main show, and a brief on‑stage moment with influencer Bart Pniewski, whose entry was delayed by security over his outfit. Organisers coordinated extensive public‑transport options, adding extra buses and tram services and imposing temporary traffic restrictions around the stadium. The production featured elaborate lighting, a runway extending across the field, and visual backdrops of a dystopian cityscape. Audience interaction was high, with The Weeknd addressing the crowd, inviting fans onstage and sharing emotional moments that brought many to tears.
