The Weeknd Delivers Electrifying Opening Night at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough

On June 10, at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, The Weeknd proved why he's one of pop music’s top male artists. For over two hours, he took the packed stadium through a dynamic set of his most iconic songs, showcasing his unmatched hits and electrifying stage presence.

Opening the show in a dazzling wizard‑style robe, he commanded attention as he walked a cross‑shaped catwalk. Backed by a troupe of dancers dressed in crimson and flanked by dramatic visuals—soaring lasers and a smoking robotic sculpture—he kept the energy high from start to finish.

The focus of the night spanned his recent trilogy of albums: After Hours, Dawn FM, and Hurry Up Tomorrow. In total, he played around 40 songs, including all seven of his number‑one hits. Highlights included the explosive pyrotechnics during “The Hills” and the heartfelt performance of “Die for You”.

Rather than closing with massive anthems like “Blinding Lights” or “Can’t Feel My Face,” he opted to end on a slightly different note: “Moth to a Flame,” his collaboration with Swedish House Mafia. The decision highlighted his deep catalog and left the crowd buzzing.

By delivering two back‑to‑back sold‑out shows—and packing the stadium with powerhouse performances—The Weeknd demonstrated his reign as a leading male voice in modern pop. With this tour, he’s set a high bar for live entertainment in 2025—now the world waits to see if he’ll top it next time around.
