The Weeknd is going on a world tour, and he's bringing it to Tampa's Amalie Arena on May 12. Tickets for the North American leg of the jaunt — which includes just 25 stops — will cost $35.75-$121.75. They go on sale online and at the Amalie Arena box office on Friday, November 4, but members of Citi's Private Pass program can purchase them on November 1.
CONCERT REVIEW: THE WEEKND BRINGS SIN, GOOD TIMES TO AMALIE ARENA
The announcement comes just about a year after Abel Tesfaye (The Weeknd's real name, kids) sold out the same room for a sinful December show (read CL's review here).
This time, the crooner is supporting a new album (Starboy, due November 25 vio XO/Republic Records), but he's come a long, long way from the days of dropping free mixtapes anonymously online. He already has a Grammy, and Starboy's title track (featuring Daft Punk broke) the record for “Most Release Weekend Streams Ever” upon its release (it amassed over 17 million streams globally).
