Overview

• The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, will appear on Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on May 15 for his first-ever late-night interview and performance.
• This marks a significant shift for the artist, who has historically avoided interviews despite previous late-night musical performances.
• The appearance comes just days after the May 10 launch of his After Hours Til Dawn Tour, which begins in Glendale, Arizona.
• On May 16, the singer's companion film Hurry Up Tomorrow, starring The Weeknd, Jenna Ortega, and Barry Keoghan, will premiere in theaters.
• Hurry Up Tomorrow is tied to The Weeknd's chart-topping album of the same name, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 earlier this year.
