The Weeknd absolutely smashed it in Leeds on Tuesday night - from the lighting and effects to stage presence and vocals, the entire show was incredible.
In a sold out venue, packed to the rafters with 13,500 people, he played tunes from his new album as well as a few older classics such as The Hills, Often, Earned It and I Cant Feel My Face!
Obvious crowd-pleasers were tunes such as I Feel It Coming, Party Monster and Starboy amongst others!
One thing that I found great about his show was the fact that he just let the music do the talking. Sometimes artists spend far too much time on stage talking and not enough time performing. He kept hitting out song after song after song and I reckon he easily played over 20 tracks in a 90 minute set!
The stage was insane too! The fact that it came right out into the crowd meant that he spent the majority of the show in the crowd and had the feel of an intimate gig despite being in a massive arena.
The gig in Leeds was the final show of the European leg of his tour and he now has his mind set on the North American leg over the next couple of months before performing at a number of festivals across the globe, including Longitude in Ireland!
