The Weeknd has revealed that
Hurry Up Tomorrow is the title of his next album, which will complete a trilogy that includes the chart-topping
After Hours (2020) and
Dawn FM (2022). No release date has been confirmed for the
XO/
Republic set.
In an
Instagram message, the artist born
Abel Tesfaye shared such cryptic phrases about the project as "Yesterday was 14 years ago" and "I look in the mirror and feel both old and new." It ends by proclaiming, "When today ends, I'll discover who I am."
On 9/7 The Weeknd will team with
YouTube for a livestream of a sold-out, one-off show in São Paulo, Brazil. Managed by
SALXCO's
Wassim "Sal" Slaiby and booked by
CAA, Abel will donate 10% of net proceeds from merch sales to the
Brazilian Soul Fund of
BrazilFoundation, which supports area communities impacted by natural disasters and economic hardship.
Also on the books is
The Weeknd: Nightmare Trilogy, which opens tomorrow (9/5) at
Universal Studios in Los Angeles as part of the theme park's
Halloween Horror Nights. Fans are promised "an authentic, one-of-a-kind horror experience with surprises at every turn" or, in other words, a typical day at the
HITS office.
