The Weeknd announced Thursday his first ever global stadium tour, with a stop at Gillette this July.
The After Hours Til Dawn tour kicks off in Toronto on July 8, and will make its way to Foxborough’s Gillette Stadium on July 21. It is the fourth stop on the North American leg of the global tour, which ends in Los Angeles on Sept. 2, according to a statement from Live Nation.
