THURSDAY JUNE 22, 2017 Grammy Award®-winning
and multi-platinum selling music artist THE WEEKND has
announced a second leg to his critically acclaimed Starboy: Legend of
the Fall 2017 World Tour, featuring stops throughout North America - and
for the first time, New Zealand and Australia.
French Montana and Nav join The Weeknd for all New Zealand and Australian
dates.
Phase One of the tour kicked off on February 17 in Stockholm, Sweden and
wrapped on June 9 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Variety named
The Weeknd “a bonafide pop star and an undeniable influence on his
contemporaries,” while British GQ hailed, “this was
without-doubt one of the best shows we've seen from a mega star in a
seriously long time.”
The Weeknd released his fourth full-length studio album, Starboy,
on November 25, 2016 through XO/Republic Records to rave reviews. The Starboy album
hit #1 on the ARIA Chart and has since been streamed more than five million
times and certified 2x-platinum, while the title track ‘Starboy’ is now
5x-platinum in the US.
Tickets and VIP Experiences for all shows go on sale at 3pm
(local time) Friday, June 30.
An exciting 48-hour pre-sale is available exclusively for Telstra
customers from midday Monday, June 26 until midday Wednesday, June 28
(local time). Head to Telstra.com/music for details on
how to purchase.

Starting off his career anonymously, The Weeknd first broke into the music
scene with the 2011 mixtape House of Balloons followed by
studio album Kiss Land in 2013 and the widely recognized Beauty
Behind the Madness that earned him two Grammy Awards in 2015, an
RIAA triple-platinum certification for cumulative sales in excess of three
million, 16 RIAA certifications from tracks alone with “The Hills”
[7x-platinum], “Can’t Feel My Face” [5x-platinum], “Often” [2x-platinum], “In
The Night” [platinum] and “Acquainted” [platinum]. “Earned It (Fifty Shades
of Grey)” even garnered The Weeknd his first ever Academy Award® nomination
in the category of “Best Original Song.” Late last year, The Weeknd released
his fourth full-length album Starboy [2x-platinum] which
quickly rose to #1 in 90 countries, sold more than one million albums
globally and broke the global streaming record all in less than one week.
