The Weeknd: After Hours Til Dawn Tour With Playboi Carti And Mike Dean

Critic’s Pick
Thurs., Aug. 21

The Weeknd, Playboi Carti, & Mike Dean, Mercedes-Benz Stadium — As we approach the 10th anniversary of his sophomore LP — and arguably, his true breakout album — “Beauty Behind the Madness,” there is no shadow of a doubt that The Weeknd is a bona fide global superstar. Hailing from Toronto, Canada, Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye has been instrumental in the progression of alternative R&B and pop music throughout the 2010s and 20202s. That being said, Tesfaye has come to a crossroads. His sixth studio, “Hurry Up Tomorrow,” dropped at the top of the year, and to the shock of his fans and the music industry in general, it serves as his final album under his iconic stage name. To commemorate an end to a truly fantastic era of music, The Weeknd has been on the road for a stadium tour alongside Atlanta rapper Playboi Carti and Hip-Hop legend Mike Dean. The Hurry Up Tour finally hits Atlanta later this month, so grab your tickets while you still can. — joshua robinson
