The Weeknd to Livestream ‘One-Night-Only’ Concert in Brazil on YouTube
For those who won’t be in South America next month, the Weeknd will stream his one-night-only concert experience in S?o Paulo, Brazil on YouTube.
The singer is set to hit the stage in South America on Sept. 7 at Estádio MorumBIS. Produced by Live Nation, the show promises to feature his chart-topping hits as well as “offer a glimpse into what’s next for the artist,” according to a release. Fans can watch the show on his YouTube page beginning at 8 p.m. ET.

“I’m so excited to announce that we’ll be live streaming my show from S?o Paulo, Brazil, so everyone around the world can be a part of this special night,” said the Weeknd in a statement. “I wish I could come to every city and town on earth, but moments like this give us the chance to connect in real time at least and share that energy together, no matter where you are.”
In tandem with the show, he will donate 10 percent of net proceeds from merch sales at the event and online to the Brazilian Soul Fund to help local families rebuild in the aftermath of natural disasters and floods.
Following his performance in Brazil, the Weeknd is set to head over to Australia to continue his After Hours Til Dawn tour, with dates scheduled for Oct. 5-6 in Melbourne and Oct. 22-23 in Sydney. He’s been on the tour since July 2022, and was originally supposed to put on 11 shows in Australia and New Zealand in late 2023 but postponed them until this year due to unforeseen circumstances.
It’s highly likely that the Weeknd’s show will feature new material, as he’s been recently teasing snippets of songs in clips posted to social media over the past month or so. Last year, he hinted to Variety about what would potentially follow his “After Hours” and “Dawn FM” albums.
“I’m finishing the third part of this of this saga, of this trilogy,” he said. “The name of it will come out soon, but it’s not called what some fans think it’s called… what they think it’s called is actually a song on the album, but that’s not what the actual album is called. [It’s unclear which speculative title he’s referring to.] So I’m just gonna say that.”
