The Weeknd (real name Abel Makkonen Tesfaye) scored a deal with Binance just last month. The Canadian singer will be the first musician ever to have a Web3-powered tour. The tour began on July 8th and has a dedicated NFT collection, in collaboration with the creative arts incubator HXOUSE.
The tour is called “After Hours Til Dawn” and in celebration of the event, Binance will donate $2 million dollars to The Weeknd’s XO Humanitarian Fund, which he launched earlier this year. Moreover, the humanitarian aid food works like a food bank in areas severely affected by famine. While providing food and water for those who are the most needy, music lovers can come and get some soul food for their ears and hearts in the ongoing tour. Furthermore, The Weeknd’s next performance is in Atlanta, while the tour’s culmination will be on September 22, 2022 in Toronto, Canada.
