The Weeknd has shared details of a “one-night-only” show in Brazil, which will see him introduce a “never-before-seen production” into the set.Announced today (July 18), the one-off gig is set to take place at the Estádio MorumBIS venue in São Paulo on Friday, September 7.

It follows on from the singer – real name Abel Tesfaye – embarking on his ‘After Hours Til Dawn Tour’ over the past two years.Now, unlike his record-breaking tour, which saw him perform across North America, Europe, the UK and Latin America and draw over 3million visitors, the forthcoming show in Brazil will see a new performance put forward.

This is expected to include a mixed-up setlist to previous shows and “never-before-seen production”.It will also see Tesfaye join forces with the UN World Food Programme, and donate $1 (77p) from every ticket sold to the XO Humanitarian Fund in a bid to end the global hunger crisis.Tickets go on sale next Thursday (July 25) at 10am BRT, and artist presales will be available as early as next Monday (July 22).
