The Weeknd is amazing live!! Must see!
Still mesmerized by The Weeknd SummerFest show. He is so good live. His band is on point! Can’t wait to see him live again!!!

The weekend. Very wesk
He did not get on stage intil an hour after opening band was done. Terrible. I was leaving and he came on so I stayed. Stayed for 4 songs and left. Light show so boring. His voice is beautiful but a pathetic show. So disappointing. It was a present to my husband for his 50th birthday. It was the worst concert I have ever been to. I have been to at least 150 concerts. I do not think I will pay for the Marcus Theatre again

The Weeknd was the Best Concert!
Abel is amazing live! He put on such a great performance! I will definitely be spending more money on a ticket next time to experience the concert closer! Unforgettable night!

Better than expected
The voice on The Weeknd is not confined to a studio! He rocked the house and sounded as good if not better live than in the studio. Would definitely see again and recommend to others

The Weekend
The printed ticket didn't have the opening act written anywhere on it. The show was supposed to start at 7:30p.m. The Weekend didn't come on stage until close to 10:00p.m. In a venue like Summerfest, you want to maximize your time there. It would have been beneficial to have more information on the ticket. The Weekend was a great performer.

Amazing vocals, lacking energy
Maybe it’s the venue, but this wasn’t much more than a beautiful voice and a light show. He played all the hits, but left me wanting more engagement with the audience. He was singing at us. Hoped he would tell more of a story.

Amazing show
It was an awesome show I hope he comes back next year!!!
Abel Tesfaye, who performs under the moniker The Weeknd, emerged shrouded in mystery in 2012, when he uploaded three tracks to YouTube that picked up near-immediate buzz -- despite the fact that nothing was known about the artist who posted them.
The tracks eventually got the attention of fellow Toronto artist Drake, who linked to the songs via his blog. Before the year was out, the songs were getting great write-ups on the music-hipster bible Pitchfork and in The New York Times.
The Weeknd followed up the next year with three mixtapes -- House of Balloons, Thursday, and Echos of Silence-- that served to ramp up his profile further. In the midst of the critical kudos, he made his first concert performances, including collaborations with Drake. The three mixtapes eventually became the first Weeknd album, 2011's Trilogy.
The Weeknd's sound has been described as hipster R&B (or PBR&B to some), and his tracks have sampled a huge range of artists from indie-rockers Beach House to R&B megastar Rihanna. His slow grooves and falsetto croon create a beautiful and sometimes creepy backdrop for what are often sexually-charged lyrics.
On tour, Tesfaye re-creates his recorded music with some live backing musicians' help and usually can be counted on to bring an eye-popping light show. Fans consistently give Tesfaye kudos for the quality and depth of his live vocals.
