Ladies and gentlemen, The Weekend. The Canadian singer-songwriter will bring his melancholy R&B stylings to Gillette Stadium on Thursday, July 21, as part of his first-ever global tour.
The tour will also be The Weeknd’s first concert series since the release of his smash album “After Hours,” which broke countless Billboard records following its March 2020 release. Of particular note, his single “Blinding Lights” spent a record 90 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, with the magazine later naming it the greatest Hot 100 hit of all time, supplanting Chubby Checker’s 1960 hit “The Twist.”
Also joining The Weeknd at the home of the Patriots this summer is rapper/singer-songwriter Doja Cat, who has had her own Billboard success with the likes of “Say So” and “Kiss Me More.”
Tickets for The Weekend’s Gillette Stadium show go on sale to the general public on Thursday, March 10, through The Weeknd’s website.
The GA on-sale date will be preceded by a number of pre-sales: Earliest access will be given to fans who previously had tickets to the cancelled After Hours tour, starting March 4. After that comes a pre-sale for Verizon customers who belong to the Verizon Up loyalty program starting March 7 at 10 a.m., a Spotify Fans First presale for top streamers of The Weeknd starting March 8, and a Live Nation presale starting March 8.
