The Weeknd After Hours Til Dawn Tour

Hot on the heels of our work on The Weeknd’s Super Bowl LV Pepsi Halftime Show, we were happy to collaborate again to create a vast, three-stage stadium setup for his 19-date After Hours Til Dawn Tour. The show drew on all of our scenic, staging, and automation prowess to create an aesthetic that’s been labeled “sci-fi purgatory.”

We provided three themed Mag Deck stages, 17 scenic scale model decaying buildings – several with built-in performer lifts and platforms – two LED-integrated runways, and three performer lifts. We even provided Navigator automation control as well as the catenary line system and a specially designed cart to inflate a 30 ft diameter moon for the entire performance. It was an enormous, challenging project to deliver on the legendary Es Devlin’s dystopian vision, but one that was all the more satisfying for it.
