The first inkling of a new album from his end came in August 2021, when he launched a little teaser on YouTube, called “The Dawn is Coming”, the name of his upcoming album. This would be TheWeeknd’s fifth studio album and is creating ripples in his legions of fans, and also in the music mart.
Interestingly, his upcoming tour that was shifted to 2022 also bears testament to his last album, and his future release, and is called “After Hours till Dawn”. The tour will likely commence in summer 2022 now.
TheWeeknd Has A Cryptic Conversation
Ever since 2022 “dawned”, pun intended, TheWeeknd has been teasing his fans with mysterious little messages on Instagram. First, he shared a screenshot of a text conversation with the co-founder of XO Records, La Mar Taylor. In the convo, Taylor asks, “Happy New Year brother! What we thinking??”
The Weeknd then responded, “Happy new year! Everything feels chaotic again. Music can heal and that feels more important than another album rollout. Let’s just drop the whole thing and enjoy it with the people… XO.”
This was more than enough to send his fans into a complete frenzy with people writing, “Abel that’s not an album date” and “He saying what I think he sayin🤭”.

Fans seem to think that he will be dropping his album soon enough although no official dates have been announced for the release of his album. Meanwhile, TheWeeknd has been busy with celebrations. He recently celebrated 10 years of “Echoes of Silence” with another post that hinted at “Dawn”, again.
