In 2023, The Weeknd decided to cut short his After Hours Til Dawn tour to take a brief break. He had promised to add new dates in Oceania soon after and confirmed shows for October 5 and 6 in Melbourne at Marvel Stadium, and October 22 and 23 in Sydney at Accor Stadium.
However, there will be a very special concert happening in Brazil that everyone can be part of. Knowing his fans have been waiting a long time, Abel announced he will livestream the São Paulo show for fans around the world.
“I’m excited to share that we’ll be livestreaming my show from São Paulo, Brazil, so everyone can be part of this special night. I wish I could visit every city and town, but this way, we can still connect and share the experience together, no matter where you are,” he said on social media.
The Weeknd’s one-time show Sept. 7 in São Paulo, Brazil was shut down by Ticketmaster today.

In fact, the artist mentioned this in one of the previews: “There are three chapters in this story. See you in São Paulo,” he wrote, which only adds to the excitement for the upcoming concert.

Before the livestream was announced, the artist revealed his partnership with the United Nations World Food Programme. This means that one dollar from every ticket sold will go to the XO Humanitarian Fund, which works to fight global crises and hunger.
And there’s more. Ten percent of the concert’s profits will be donated to BrazilFoundation to help communities in Brazil affected by natural disasters and economic struggles. So, the concert’s proceeds will support some of the country’s most vulnerable families. Mark the date on your calendar and don’t miss what promises to be one of the year’s most impressive live events.
