The Weeknd debuted songs from his new album ‘Dawn FM’ live for the first time during his Coachella headline set last night (April 17) – see footage, photos, a full setlist and more below.
Abel Tesfaye was topping the bill on the final night of the first weekend at the Californian festival alongside Swedish House Mafia, with the pair replacing Kanye West as headliners just a few weeks ago.
During his 17-song set, The Weeknd played hits from across his career as well as giving live debuts to three tracks from ‘Dawn FM’: ‘Sacrifice’, ‘How Can I Make You Love Me’ and ‘Out Of Time’.
The first two tracks opened the set and saw The Weeknd joined by Swedish House Mafia at the end of their own full-length set. The set then ended with a performance of their collaborative 2021 track, ‘Moth To A Flame’.
Elsewhere in the set, The Weeknd covered Kanye West‘s ‘Hurricane’ in tribute to the artist he replaced as headliner, alongside other covers of Future, Drake and Ty Dolla $ign.
