Now, he has set speculation alight once again â sharing a gif from his âBlinding Lightsâ music video with the cryptic caption: âSaturday we ride at dawnâ.
It is worth noting that this Saturday (September 7) will see him play a one-off gig at the Estádio MorumBIS venue in São Paulo, so the post could simply be a nod to that.
That being said, last month the artist did promote the gig once again, as well as confirming that he will be livestreaming it for international fans and sharing a snippet of a new song.

The Instagram teaser marked just one of a handful The Weeknd has shared in relation to an upcoming third chapter to his trilogy. In July he shared a snippet of what appeared to be a new song on social media, accompanied by a cinematic teaser and a mysterious caption quoting German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche: âWhen you gaze long enough into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into youâ¦â
Then, on August 6, he shared another taste of new music, with a dark teaser video that includes two new songs. In line with the horror theme, the second track seems to hint at an ominous force, as he sings âYou can change locations, you can change your name / They will always find a wayâ.
The final addition to the trilogy will mark the first album from The Weeknd since 2022âs âDawn FMâ. In a four-star review, NME wrote: ââDawn FMâ feels like the first steps on a journey for The Weeknd to find peace with himself; perhaps next time we hear from him, heâll be fully embracing the light of day.â
As for his upcoming show in Brazil, the set will be unlike his record-breaking tour, which saw him perform across North America, Europe, the UK and Latin America â instead focusing on putting a new performance forward. This is expected to include a mixed-up setlist to previous shows and ânever-before-seen productionâ.
In other news, it was reported earlier this year that The Weekndâs huge hit single âBlinding Lightsâ had become the first song in history to reach 4billion streams on Spotify. Named Spotifyâs most-streamed song of all time, the track featured on his âAfter Hoursâ album, which was released at the end of 2019.
