The Weeknd begins three-night residency at Madrid's Metropolitano
The Weeknd, born Abel Tesfaye, has commenced a three-night residency at the Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid as part of his ‘After Hours Til Dawn’ tour. The performance features a high-concept, post-apocalyptic stage design, including a large golden statue by Hajime Sorayama and a set resembling a ruined city.
The show includes a vast repertoire of approximately 38 songs, spanning his career and recent trilogies such as ‘After Hours’, ‘Dawn FM’, and ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow’. The production utilizes extensive pyrotechnics, lasers, and LED wristbands to engage the audience, which is expected to reach 150,000 people across the three dates.
Tesfaye’s performance blends his ‘The Weeknd’ persona with more personal moments, navigating themes of desire and insecurity through electropop and R&B. The tour is noted for its significant commercial success, being one of the highest-grossing tours for a male soloist.
