The Weeknd‘s new album finally has a release date, in tandem with major concert celebration. The artist’s Hurry Up Tomorrow will arrive Jan. 24 on XO/Republic, and will be followed the next day by a one-off concert at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Ca.
That event will feature “never-before-seen production” on a stage that will fill the entire stadium floor. Tickets go on sale Monday (12/2) via the Weekend’s website. For now, fans can peruse a handful of Hurry Up Tomorrow variants and special configurations at the artist’s web store.

The album will complete a trilogy already featuring the LPs After Hours and Dawn FM. The Weeknd (real name: Abel Tesfaye) has released three singles from it since September: “Dancing in the Flames,” “Timeless” featuring Playboi Carti and the “Sao Paulo” featuring Anitta. The latter is accompanied by a horror-tinged video, while a fourth song, “Open Hearts,” can only be accessed through Apple Vision Pro.
As previously reported, Tesfaye will star in a feature film “extension” of Hurry Up Tomorrow. The so-called “musically driven psychological thriller” was written and directed by Trey Edward Shults and also stars Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan. Further plot details have not announced.
Lionsgate has secured worldwide theatrical distribution for the project which has no release date. Tesfaye wrote the score in tandem with Oneohtrix Point Never’s Daniel Lopatin. He previously starred in the maligned HBO series The Idol, which ran for a single season of five episodes in 2023.
In other Weeknd news, he has become the first artist with 22 individual songs in excess of 1 billion streams on Spotify. They are: “Blinding Lights,” “Starboy,” “The Hills, “Die for You,” “Save Your Tears,” “Call Out My Name,” “I Feel It Coming,” “Can’t Feel My Face,” “Earned It,” “Save Your Tears” (remix), “Creepin’,” “Stargirl Interlude,” “Reminder,” “I Was Never There,” “One of the Girls,” “Often,” “Heartless,” “After Hours,” “Or Nah,” “Die for You” (Ariana remix), “Love Me Harder” and “Lost in the Fire.”
