The Canadian phenom has been on a hell of a run since anonymously uploading a handful of songs to YouTube under the name The Weeknd in 2011. He very quickly gained recognition and began to build up his following. His incredible vocal ability paired with the mystery surrounding his identity created the perfect storm to produce the superstar we all know today. This collection of songs, House of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes of Silence were remastered and released on his first release, a compilation album titled Trilogy (2012).
Since then, he has released 3 incredibly successful studio albums: Kiss Land (2013 – Gold in Canada and US), Beauty Behind The Madness (2015 – 4x platinum in Canada, 3x platinum in US), Starboy (2016 – 3x platinum in Canada and US). He has amassed an absurd amount of plays on Spotify, with the single Starboy clocking in at a whopping 1.3 billion on Spotify alone. He is set to release his next album, After Hours, on March 20. This tour will be supporting and promoting this new album, which won’t disappoint if his track record is any indication. Get your tickets now while they last!
