The project and concert were set for January 24 and 25
Due to the ongoing hazardous wildfire conditions affecting the Los Angeles area, The Weeknd has postponed the release of Hurry Up Tomorrow, and canceled its corresponding Rose Bowl concert in Pasadena, California. The global pop star shared the news on social media on Monday (Jan 13th).
“Out of respect and concern for the people of Los Angeles County, I am canceling the Rose Bowl concert originally scheduled for January 25th,” he writes. “This city has always been a profound source of inspiration for me, and my thoughts are with everyone impacted during this difficult time.”
The Rose Bowl and its adjacent parking lot are currently being occupied as a hub for donations to aid victims of the LA wildfires, which have grown to more than 40,000 acres, causing two dozen deaths and displacing thousands of residents.
The one-night-only album release show was set for January 25th and sold out in under an hour. Driven by incredible fan demand, the event attracted over 300,000 fans in the ticket queue, highlighting The Weeknd’s immense influence and loyal fanbase.
The album, originally scheduled for release on January 24th, has been pushed back a week.
“In light of this, I have also decided to push the release of my album to January 31st,” he continues. “My focus remains on supporting the recovery of these communities and aiding its incredible people as they rebuild.”
The album is the final chapter in his trilogy, following After Hours and Dawn FM.
The Weeknd is the first artist in history to have 25 songs with over one billion streams each on Spotify. The feat is available as a concert film, Billions Club Live with The Weeknd: A Concert Film, between OBB Media and Spotify.
