He became a huge smash hit pretty much overnight in 2010 when he put up 2 YouTube videos until the name The Weeknd. The Weeknd has exploded in popularity lately and has just announced his latest tour called The Madness Fall Tour. This concert tour of his will be visiting over 20 different cities in North America such as Newark, Detroit, Chicago, New York City, Boston, Miami, Atlanta and more, including stops way up north in Canada.

The Weeknd is obviously not his real name, his real name is Abel Tesfaye and for a little while he was pretty obscure. He’s a Canadian PBR&B singer and he also does his own songwriting and recordings. He literally has full control over every aspect of his songs and music. He hit the music scene big as The Weeknd when he came out of no where and put a couple of videos up on YouTube in 2010. His popularity after that just exploded and now he’s got a tremendous following of fans.
