The Journey Continues: Solotech Supports The Weeknd After Hours ‘Til Dawn 2025 Leg  

In this article

Montreal, Quebec, August 26th, 2025 – Solotech is proud to have supported The Weeknd’s electrifying After Hours ‘Til Dawn Stadium Tour, recently featured in the latest edition of Lighting and Sound America magazine.  

Since its launch in 2022, the tour has evolved with each leg, adapting to new creative directions and technical innovations. The 2025 run celebrates the release of The Weeknd’s new album Hurry Up Tomorrow. 

For this production, Solotech supplied lighting and video, and co-developed a groundbreaking LED screen wind-bracing system in collaboration with TwentyThree. Introduced for this leg of the tour, the design uses a rail system that allows the wind bracing to be installed as the wall is raised. This innovative design reduces setup time, saves truck space, and minimizes risk to crew members. 

Solotech congratulates The Weeknd and his exceptional crew for this successful leg of the tour. We are proud to continue to support their creative vision on this journey.
