The Weeknd Reveals Four Exclusive Show Dates This Fall

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Live Nation Entertainment) THE WEEKND is back on the road this fall for four exclusive shows. Joined by ScHoolboy Q and Jhene Aiko, the platinum-certified alternative R&B trend-setter has readied his most immersive and inventive production yet.

The Weeknd also just released a new track titled "Often" which immediately shot to the #1 spot on the Billboard Twitter Real-Time Chart.
