‘I Came Back With a Vengeance’: 7 Best Moments From Launch of The Weeknd’s Sold-Out Run at L.A.’s SoFi Stadium

The Weeknd launched a sold-out four night run at L.A.'s SoFi Stadium on June 25. Here are the seven best moments from the concert.

During his second of two sold-out shows at the Inglewood, Calif. stadium in September 2022, the Ethiopian-Canadian superstar lost his voice, an incident that made the pop star feel so defeated that he began debating taking a curtain call on the persona fans have come to know and love and inspired his first feature film Hurry Up Tomorrow that was released in theaters earlier this year. The Weeknd and his right-hand producer Mike Dean cooked up a number of remarkably seamless transitions for his 2023 co-headlining Coachella set and first legs of his After Hours Til Dawn Tour. Carti took a page out of The Weeknd’s playbook by interspersing some (Auto-Tuned) melodic runs as well as his signature “schyeah” ad-lib throughout both songs, and the joint performance reminded 00XO fans that outsiders can’t handle the both of them at the top.
