AceShowbiz - The Weeknd has something exciting for his fans. The "Blinding Lights" hitmaker has finally released the official trailer for his "Live at Sofi Stadium" HBO concert on Thursday, February 9.
In the official trailer for the film, a massive inflatable moon goes from blood red to cool blue as the Weeknd gets into character. Wearing a heavy trench coat and a face-obscuring mask, the singer becomes the centerpiece of an elaborately choreographed performance by dozens of dancers cloaked in red veils.
"Sacrifice", one of his collaborations with Swedish House Mafia from last year's "Dawn FM", soundtracks the brief preview of the show. As fire blasts out from the stage and spotlights try to keep up with the Weeknd as he bounds up and down the runway, the crowd moves in unison with the music.
The original concert special "The Weeknd: Live at Sofi Stadium" will premiere on Saturday, February 25 at 8 P.M. ET/ 5 P.M. PT on HBO and streaming on HBO Max. The concert was recorded in Los Angeles at the concluding dates of the musician's 2022 "After Hours Til Dawn Tour" North American stadium tour and focuses on hits from his two most recent studio albums, "After Hours" and "Dawn FM". The tour continues overseas later this year.
Along with hits including "Starboy", "Blinding Lights", "Can't Feel My Face", "I Feel It Coming" and others, the 95-minute special captures the elaborate set that the Weeknd traveled across the country for the stadium tour, which featured dozens of dancers, lasers, pyrotechnics and more. The special arrives in advance of the Weeknd's forthcoming HBO series "The Idol", expected later this year.
"The Weeknd Live at Sofi Stadium" was directed by Micah Bickham and produced by Contrast Films, executive produced by the Weeknd, La Mar C. Taylor, Jordy Wax, and Micah Bickham and co-executive produced by Aaron Cooke.
