Very high level of success for the first European date of The Weeknd’s tour with a highly technical and impressive show
Undoubtedly one of the most anticipated names in the Italian Live lineup weekendfollowed with two dates in Milan at La Moura Racecourse in the San Siro on 26 and 27 July. The first date is already completely sold out. Availability is minimal for the second. Surely encouraging fans to rush to the last available seats will be the videos published over the past few hours by fans at Manchester’s Etihad Stadium where The Weeknd’s show made its highly acclaimed European tour debut.
The Weeknd returns to Europe
Huge stage, with a huge catwalk that extends through the audience Mounted by a huge silver and shining moon on the side of the second stage. It has a similar structure, but is even bigger and more technical than the previous tour.
The Weeknd, aka Abel Tesfaye, is undoubtedly one of the artists of the moment. A character who can afford to lay down the law for those who produce his shows, for those who distribute his records. Going to the extent of threatening to change its name, as a provocation from a few months ago, to erase from the archives what has been built to date with enormous success with its first brand.
For The Weeknd-Abel Tesfaye, European debut in Lisbon, Manchester is their first UK tour in six years, Probably the last one with this pseudonym… “I like to call him Alter Ego – He announced a few days before his arrival in Europe – It is like wearing a dress and considering it suitable only for certain occasions. Like The Weeknd, I think I’ve said all I can say. But it will be enough to change clothes, personality. It will not be difficult to assume the second ego and find other subjects”.
Final Tour as The Weeknd
Really a unique character. Capable of feuding with the producers of one of the most iconic and important shows in the world, the Superbowl Mid-Time Show who didn’t want to give him the budget he asked for an unforgettable show: “If you don’t make it, I’ll put them there”. And invest seven million dollars of his own money to put on a show on the night of the American football Superbowl, probably the best show ever.
Saturday’s two-hour show at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium It was a stellar display of the greatness of The Weeknd project in the pop realm. It is paradoxical that at the exact same time as the concert was going on, the team playing at the same stadium as Manchester City in Istanbul was busy with the most important match in their history: the Champions League final. And while City won by beating Inter, The Weeknd won with an unforgettable show to say the least.
amazing show
The set, two hours long, spans a career of twelve years. From balloon house From 2011 to Megahit 2020 glare lightMost streamed song of all time with 3.6 billion streams. also presented The platform is really extraordinary: A metropolitan vista with recognizable elements has been established over the larger structure. The Empire State Building and the CN Tower are in Toronto, which is Tesfaye’s hometown. On the other side, under a giant silver moon, a robot goddess makes her way, which was designed by Japanese artist Hajime Soreyama.
spectacular light show Which lights up the grandstands and the public as well as fireworks and chemical flames, really huge. Tesfaye, in a one-man show that sees almost everything focused entirely and exclusively on him, moves from one stage to the next but basically spends a lot of time on the catwalk. A concession that is greatly appreciated by the spectators on the lawn, but which also serves spectators in the stands who can enjoy the show and the artist. His mask with which he explains the entire first half of the show is a bit disturbing, it feels like Qayam: an hour-long show that gets swept away in one go. From the start of Take My Breathe to Can’t Feel My Face, Starboy, The Hills, Hurricane. much appreciated double fantasy which appears almost at the end, the soundtrack to the series The Idol in which Tesfaye stars, along with Johnny’s daughter Lily Rose Depp and producer, The series, which has just been released on Netflix for a week, is already a huge success.
Ladder
Lineup totaling 33 songs, 29 almost complete and four samples A little short, she is certainly very clever and satisfies everyone. The Weeknd has studied a perfect product: dance, pop, synths as pleasant as 80’s keyboards and electronically perfected like 2000’s classics.
