The Weeknd Drops Trailer for \u2018Live at Sofi Stadium\u2019 HBO Concert: <\/h1>\n

The Weeknd and HBO have released the official trailer for the original concert special \u201cThe Weeknd: Live at Sofi Stadium,\u201d which premieres Saturday, Feb. 25 at 8 p.m. ET\/ 5 p.m. PT on HBO and streaming on HBO Max.<\/p>\n

The concert was recorded in Los Angeles at the concluding dates of the Weeknd\u2019s 2022 \u201cAfter Hours Til Dawn Tour\u201d North American stadium tour and focuses on hits from his two most recent studio albums, \u201cAfter Hours\u201d and \u201cDawn FM.\u201d The tour continues overseas later this year.<\/p>\n

Along with hits including \u201cStarboy,\u201d \u201cBlinding Lights,\u201d \u201cCan\u2019t Feel My Face,\u201d \u201cI Feel It Coming,\u201d and others, the 95-minute special captures the elaborate set that the Weeknd traveled across the country for the stadium tour, which featured dozens of dancers, lasers, pyrotechnics and more. The special arrives in advance of the Weeknd\u2019s forthcoming HBO series \u201cThe Idol,\u201d expected later this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Weeknd Live at Sofi Stadium\u201d was directed by Micah Bickham and produced by Contrast Films; executive produced by the Weeknd, La Mar C. Taylor, Jordy Wax, and Micah Bickham; co-executive produced by Aaron Cooke. <\/p>\n

The tour was a critical and commercial success, although its first and final dates were marred by unexpected issues: The original opening date, July 8 in the Weeknd\u2019s hometown of Toronto, was postponed after a day-long, country-wide outage of the Rogers wireless network presented too many challenges for the tour to proceed; it was rescheduled for the end of the tour. However, the original closing date at Sofi Stadium had to be postponed after the Weeknd lost his voice in the show\u2019s first minutes. That show was rescheduled for six weeks later, which meant that the entire set had to be hauled back across the continent to Toronto and then back to Los Angeles. However, two concerts were performed during those Toronto and Los Angeles dates instead of one, which presumably lessened the financial impact of the rescheduling.<\/p>\n
