If you don’t have a ticket to South America next month, don’t worry. The owner of the biggest hits of the last decade, The Weeknd, will make sure you don’t miss out on what promises to be an amazing show, even if it’s from your living room couch.
On September 7, Abel Tesfaye, better known as The weekendwill dominate the stage of the Morumbi Stadium in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and best of all: the show will be broadcast live on YouTube. Produced by the event giant Live Nation, the show will be a unique opportunity to see the star in action, as well as “take a look at what’s going to happen”as announced in the official press release. So get your popcorn, your couch and your heart ready, because this show will not be a show like the others, it will be the show.
“I am extremely excited to announce that we will be live streaming my show in Sao Paulo, Brazil so that everyone around the world can be a part of this special evening.” The Weeknd said in a statement that seems to come straight from the bottom of his heart. “I wish I could visit every city and town on the planet, but moments like these give us the chance to at least connect in real time and share that energy together, no matter where you are.“
With a production that promises to shake the stadium, the show at Morumbi will not only be music and fun. The Weeknd will take the opportunity to do something that few stars do on a stage of this size: he will donate 10% of net revenue from product sales during the event and online for the Brazilian Soul Fund. This initiative aims to help local families get back on their feet after natural disasters and floods, proving that, in addition to dominating the music charts, Abel has a heart of gold.
This is something that fans really appreciate: a pop star who not only makes you dance, but also makes a difference in the world. Let’s face it, not every artist chooses to use a platform like this for something so meaningful.
The Weeknd: New Directions
Right after setting Brazil on fire, The weekend is ready to take your tour After hours until dawn to Australia. He’ll be performing on October 5-6 in Melbourne and October 22-23 in Sydney. If you think this tour started yesterday, think again: he’s been on the road since July 2022 and hasn’t shown any signs of fatigue. And don’t worry, the shows in Australia that were postponed to late 2023 due to “unforeseen circumstances” will finally go ahead, and anyone there can expect nothing less than a show.
But it’s clear that all eyes are on what’s next. Over the past year, Abel has been releasing little snippets of new songs on social media, leaving fans in a tizzy. And it looks like there’s something big on the way, something he’s described as “part three of the saga.” Whatever that means, one thing’s for sure: The Weeknd knows how to keep us on our toes, always eagerly anticipating the next big release.
“I’m finishing the third part of this saga, this trilogy“, said Abel, in a tone that only added to the mystery. “Its name is coming out soon, but it’s not called what some fans think it’s called… what they think it’s called is actually a song on the album, but that’s not what the actual album is called. [Não está claro a qual título especulativo ele está se referindo.] So I’ll just say this.“
So if you think you’ve seen it all The weekendGet ready. The show in Sao Paulo could be just the tip of the iceberg of something much bigger and more impressive to come. Stay tuned and in the meantime, enjoy the night of September 7: it promises to be legendary.
