The Weeknd hits Dubai and Abu Dhabi

The elusive R’n’B star will perform in the UAE for two nights

Mysterious R’n’B star The Weeknd may be known to elude the limelight, but all eyes will be on him when he hits the Middle East next month.

The singer-songwriter from Toronto, Canada, lesser known by his real name Abel Tesfaye, announced a three-date tour consisting of Lebanon and the UAE. He will play Pier 7 in Beirut on June 4, People by Crystal in Dubai on June 5 and People by Crystal in Abu Dhabi on June 6.

Tesfaye started his career in 2010, uploading songs onto YouTube anonymously under the pseudonym The Weeknd. Three mixtapes and a compilation later (released under Republic Records and his own label, XO), Tesfaye released his official debut album Kiss Land in 2013.

His expressive timbre and soothing falsetto — as well as lyrics of mostly romanticised debauchery — have earned him many a Michael Jackson comparison and a thumbs-up from critics and peers. He even caught the attention of fellow Torontonian Drake, with whom he has the hit song Crew Love .

Recent tour reviews

This was such a great show!! I would definitely see him live again.

-great light display/props/theatrics

-he sang music from all his albums which was well appreciated!

-he interacted with the crowd

-he sings AMAZING live

-chill atmosphere

-performers/musicians were smoking weed on stage

-Abel took a longgg time to get on stage, we were there for almost two hours before he did

-crowd was very drunk & rude (not his fault)

-merchandise was very expensive (I payed $40 for a t-shirt)

Report as inappropriate

This review might not be completely objective as Abel has been my favourite singer for a few years now. However, I can definitely admit the Starboy tour date in Paris was the best pop concert I've been to this year. Even though some songs could have been put out of the tracklist, he mostly sang his catchiest songs of his career, no matter the era. He has great, or should I say, tremendous energy as he continuously sang twenty-something songs with no pause in between. He has no trouble reaching high notes live, his voice sounding even more heavenly in real life. That night, he invited Travis Scott on stage who pumped up the crowd more than him, which is a shame and showcases very well his lack of success and recognition in France, yet, in a sold out stadium. Most people actually didn't even know his real name or the lyrics of his songs ! I would recommend any "real fan" who has known him for a while or who likes his last album a lot to go to a Starboy tour date. I promise you, you won't regret it.

The concert was absolutely stunning. A starship was used and the lights were coordinated very well. Abel sang amazingly in person and I loved jumping up and down screaming with other members of the audience while he sang. The concert was truly magical and I enjoyed every second Abel stood on stage.

As for the other singers who appeared on stage, I was very satisfied with their singing as well. They did an amazing job and captured the entire audience. In between Abel's music, the other singers such as Lil Uzi and 6lack played their hits on stage and the whole crowd became even more alive. If I the concert played out any other way, I'm sure I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much as this concert.
