“How come it's not tomorrow?” The Weeknd closed with this line in a song about heaven on Saturday night in Sao Paulo, Brazil, leaving fans waiting for the new album Hurry up tomorrow requesting the same. (How can they not get Hurry up tomorrow … tomorrow? Especially that song about “dancing on fire”?)
The one-night-only concert on September 7, which was streamed live on YouTube, featured several pieces of new music from Abel Tesfaye. The live debuts were teased into a non-stop party mix of past favourites. Fans heard songs never played live and chart toppers.
THE Hurry up tomorrow The tracklist has yet to be revealed. Based on Saturday's event at Estádio MorumBIS, some possible titles include 'Dancing in the Flames', 'Run Away' and 'In Heaven'.
“Dancing in the Flames”, heard in Sao Paulo during a sound check earlier in the day and then performed in full about 30 minutes into Saturday night's concert, it has the makings of a first listen hit.
Tesfaye's voice soars over an indelible synth line, singing an odyssey where “We're dancing in the flames/ It's indescribable.” (Press play on the video below to stream starting at the “Dancing in the Flames” timestamp.)
A standout performance from Brazilian superstar Anitta sent the Sao Paulo crowd into a frenzy. Playboi Carti also appeared on The Weeknd's stage at Estádio MorumBIS, treating the crowd to a performance of Travis Scott's “FE!N” as well as an unreleased track possibly called “Timeless.”
Hits like “Blinding Lights” and “Save Your Tears” prompted a huge sing-a-long towards the end of the set. “I want you to scream so loud that they can hear you in Rio,” Tesfaye encouraged from the stage.
The Weeknd's Hurry up tomorrow The album artwork was revealed hours before the show, along with a pre-order link for the set, which is the third part of a trilogy that preceded After Hours and Dawn FM. Hurry up tomorrowIts release date has not been announced yet.
