Starboy Takes Texas: The Weeknd, Playboi Carti & Mike Dean Live at AT&T Stadium on August 27
Mark your calendars for August 27, 2025, because Arlington, Texas is about to witness a musical storm like no other. The iconic AT&T Stadium will come alive as global superstar The Weeknd takes the stage for a high-octane performance on his much-awaited After Hours Til Dawn Tour. Joining him are genre-defying rapper Playboi Carti and legendary music producer Mike Dean, promising a night that will merge hypnotic beats, visual storytelling, and raw, electrifying energy.
Known for his haunting vocals and cinematic production, The Weeknd, born Abel Tesfaye, has become one of the most influential artists of this generation. With chart-topping hits like “Blinding Lights,” “Save Your Tears,” and the new banger “Timeless,” a collaboration with Carti himself, Abel continues to evolve his sound while keeping fans at the edge of their seats. This tour supports his newest and final album in a trilogy, Hurry Up Tomorrow, a deeply layered sonic experience that’s been making waves since its release earlier this year. His live shows are nothing short of a spectacle, blending laser-precision visuals, moody aesthetics, and a setlist that spans a decade of unforgettable music.
Sharing the spotlight is the ever-experimental Playboi Carti, whose punk-rap energy and rebellious style have made him a cult favorite. From “Magnolia” to “Sky,” Carti’s music feels like a sonic mosh pit, and his presence on this tour adds an unpredictable edge to the lineup. He’s not just an opener—he’s a vibe in himself. And let’s not forget Mike Dean, the mastermind behind the production consoles of Kanye West, Travis Scott, and Beyoncé, who’s bringing his synthesizers and atmospheric soundscapes to elevate this tour beyond anything we’ve seen in a stadium setting before.
The venue, AT&T Stadium, known lovingly as “Jerry World,” is no ordinary arena. With a seating capacity of over 100,000 and a retractable roof, it’s one of the most advanced entertainment complexes in the world. Its colossal HD video board ensures even those in the farthest seats don’t miss a second of the action. The stadium’s layout is designed to deliver excellent acoustics, perfect for an artist like The Weeknd whose music thrives on ambience and depth. From food courts and lounge bars to luxury suites and high-tech lighting, every corner of AT&T Stadium contributes to a premium live music experience.
Now, let’s talk tickets. If you’re looking for a no-frills experience and just want to be part of the magic, Upper Endzone and 400-level seats are the most affordable, starting around $54 to $70. These provide a distant but clear view of the stage and screens. Sideline upper-level seats (still on the 400-level) offer slightly better views and run between $67 to $75.
For those who want to be closer to the action, Lower Bowl and Club Level tickets on the 100 and 200 levels range from $120 to over $400, depending on location and proximity to the stage. These are ideal for fans who value both sound quality and visual connection. Want the VIP treatment? Field-level access, VIP lounges, and Touchdown Suites are available, starting at $500 and climbing into the thousands, depending on what perks you want—think private bathrooms, valet parking, and exclusive entrances.
Seating is split into several sections. The floor in front of the stage is standing-room or reserved VIP seating, depending on your ticket type. The 100 and 200 levels are seated areas closest to the stage and generally considered the best value for those who want a seated but intimate view. The 400-level seats are higher up, but they offer an aerial view of the production and are easier on the wallet. If you’re attending with a group, Touchdown Suites at the corners or behind end zones offer a semi-private experience with catering and couches—perfect for making this a night to remember.
Whether you’re coming for The Weeknd’s emotionally raw performance, Playboi Carti’s punk-rap chaos, or Mike Dean’s masterful synths, this event is more than just a concert—it’s a cultural moment. AT&T Stadium provides a massive, tech-enhanced venue that matches the scale of the performance. With ticket tiers to match every budget and experience level, you can tailor your evening exactly the way you want it.
