The Weeknd AHTD Tour: What You Gotta Know 🔥

Saw The Weeknd live last week and still can’t believe it happened. We pre-booked parking for $40—get there early if you want a closer spot. Everyone dressed up. Heels, dresses, full makeup—go all out. Bags were strict: only clear bags allowed. Mine was small but still got stopped, had to pay $20 to check it. Opening act was Carti. Loud and chaotic. Fun for a bit, but I was really just waiting for Abel. At 9:30, he finally came on. The entire stadium lost it. He opened with The Abyss, Wake Me Up, then After Hours—no break, no filler, just banger after banger. The lights, the visuals, the vocals. Nobody sat down the entire show. No encore, ended around 11:30. On the way out, someone was handing out posters. I grabbed one. As a fan for ten years, it meant a lot. Still not over it. #entertainment #music #theweeknd

Basquiat’s Balloons Drift from Downtown Sketchbooks to The Weeknd’s Vinyl Dreams

A teenage Jean-Michel Basquiat once scrawled a city scene—figures gathered under the words “Working Class Heroes,” one floating away with a balloon and a sigh of “Ho-Hum.” Decades later, this drawing, titled Upon Leaving the ‘Norm’, lands on the collector’s edition cover of The Weeknd’s Hurry Up Tomorrow, weaving Basquiat’s restless spirit into the world of pop music. The balloon motif isn’t just a visual echo; it subtly nods to The Weeknd’s own House of Balloons era, linking his rise to Basquiat’s vision of escape and everyday struggle. This isn’t the first time Basquiat’s art has crossed into music—his covers have graced punk, hip-hop, and indie albums, often becoming prized artifacts. From Sotheby’s auctions to streetwear collaborations, Basquiat’s legacy keeps finding new canvases. In the end, his art floats between worlds—never quite settling, always inviting another look. #Basquiat #TheWeeknd #AlbumArt #Culture
