On Saturday evening, The Weeknd performed a one-night-only event in São Paulo, Brazil at Estádio MorumBI.

Special guest Playboi Carti came out to perform two songs, "FE!N" and "TIMELESS", before Anitta surprised audiences by appearing on stage disguised as one of The Weeknd’s dancers during "São Paulo".

Once the show ended, 150 drones appeared in the sky, spelling out the name of his next project, Hurry Up Tomorrow. With Hurry Up Tomorrow, The Weeknd presents the culmination of his trilogy of studio albums, following Dawn FM (2022) and After Hours (2020)

In celebration of his special one-night-only São Paulo Brazil concert, The Weekend released a limited-edition XO merch collection, with 10% of net proceeds from all sales being donated to the BrazilFoundation’s Brazilian Soul Fund.

He also partnered with the U.N. World Food Programme to contribute funds from the São Paulo show to the XO Humanitarian Fund, which supports the organization’s response to the unprecedented global hunger crisis. $1 local equivalent from each ticket sold has gone to this important cause.
