Canadian singer and songwriter The Weeknd has announced a special one-night-only show in Brazil. The event, set to take place in São Paulo on November 28, will be the artist’s first performance in the country since 2017.
The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, will be partnering with the United Nations’ World Food Programme for the show. A portion of the proceeds from the event will be donated to the XO humanitarian fund, which supports various charitable causes around the world.
The singer expressed his excitement for the upcoming show, stating, “I am thrilled to be returning to Brazil and performing for my fans there. It’s been too long since I’ve been able to connect with them in person, and I can’t wait to share this special night with them.”
The Weeknd’s performance in Brazil will be part of his ongoing After Hours tour, which has been met with critical acclaim and sold-out shows around the world. The tour, which was originally scheduled for 2020 but postponed due to the pandemic, will also include stops in other South American countries such as Argentina, Chile, and Colombia.
Fans can expect to hear hits from The Weeknd’s latest album, After Hours, which has been a commercial and critical success since its release in 2020. The album, which features popular singles such as “Blinding Lights” and “Save Your Tears,” has been praised for its unique blend of R&B, pop, and electronic music.
In addition to his musical achievements, The Weeknd has also been recognized for his philanthropic efforts. In 2020, he donated $1 million to various organizations supporting racial justice and relief efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic. With his partnership with the World Food Programme and contribution to the XO humanitarian fund, the artist continues to use his platform for good causes.
Tickets for The Weeknd’s one-night-only show in Brazil will go on sale on September 4. Fans are advised to purchase tickets early, as the event is expected to sell out quickly. This will be a night to remember for Brazilian fans of The Weeknd, as they come together to enjoy his music and support a worthy cause.
