I’ll be transparent – going into this I was nervous that a full set of The Weeknd would be somewhat of a snooze-fest (one can only listen to so many ballads) but I can assure you that Rogers Place was popping on Monday night. He took a backseat in those moments and let Nav and French have their shine. French also came out a second time to perform “Unforgettable” (yes, again and nobody was mad at it) and “A Lie.” A lot can be said about The Weeknd’s character when it comes to supporting his peers. Nav returned to the stage to assist Abel on “Someway” which was well received by the crowd. He paid homage to fellow Canadian and XO affiliate Belly with “Might Not”, repped Future with “Low Life” and nodded to Drake with “Crew Love.” Okay, Abel!īacked with a three piece band, The Weeknd effortlessly serenaded Rogers Place with a 20-song set which was a mix of songs from House of Ballons (“Wicked Games”), Beauty Behind the Madness (“Earned It”, “Often” and “Acquainted”) all the way to his latest album Starboy. As the smoke cleared, The Weeknd made his entrance from underneath the the middle of the catwalk, opening his set with “Starboy” followed by “Party Monster” and “Reminder”. We’re talking lazers, dry ice, the whole nine yards. The stage was equipped with a giant catwalk, towered with a massive space-like structure that illuminated in different colours as it changed shape.

He treated us with a few new joints from his latest album Jungle Rules (“Whiskey Eyes” and “Bring Them Things”) before wrapping up with summer 2017’s undisputed anthem “Unforgettable.” With the arena nearly full, he ran through his club bangers from “Ain’t Worry About Nothin’,” “Don’t Panic” and “Pop That.” The Coke Boy killed his featured verses from “Work” remix (A$AP Ferg), “Lockjaw” (Kodak Black) and “Hot N*gga” remix (Bobby Shmurda) among many others. Eager fans came out to Rogers Place in droves to catch a glimpse of the Toronto-native’s futuristic performance.įrench Montana wasted no time getting the party started with his opening set (unfortunately we missed Nav prior to).
