- Another concert film is coming to one of your favorite streaming platforms.
- The Weeknd’s concert special for HBO Max, ‘The Weeknd: Live At SoFi Stadium’, has been given a premiere date of February 25.
- Platforms streaming concerts really makes sense because they’re relatively cheap to produce, they come with a built-in audience, and they tend to have pretty long streaming tails. It’s the rare recent streaming strategy that is a win-win for both the platforms and their viewers — as well as the artists who license their concert footage out.
- Ironically enough, during his ‘After Hours Til Dawn Tour’, The Weeknd’s voice gave out during the second Los Angeles show, prompting him to promise a refund to the 70,000 fans in attendance. At the time, he promised to “make it up to you with a new date”.
