More The Weeknd More The Weeknd

Travis Scott made good on his teaser for Sydney fans for night two at Allianz Stadium yesterday (18 October), bringing out The Weeknd as a special guest for four songs.

Introduced to the audience eighteen songs into the concert, The Weeknd joined Travis Scott for CIRCUS MAXIMUS, Pray 4 Love, SKELETONS, and WAKE UP (per Setlist.fm), providing his silky smooth vocals for the rap favourites.

“Make some noise for the greatest of all time – The Weeknd,” Scott said ahead of the pair launching into WAKE UP. Scott’s excitement of having the Canadian singer-songwriter on stage was palpable. Aside from the teased surprise, which was already exciting, how could fans not take in Scott’s thrill last night?

For some fans who saw Travis Scott on Thursday night (17 October), watching videos from last night’s Sydney show evoked mixed emotions.

“I’m so pissed it didn’t happen night 1,” one fan commented on a post shared by Live Nation Australia on Instagram. Another added, “WE WERE FUCKING ROBBED,” while others mused on what they wished happened on Thursday. “Was meant to be night 1,” another comment reads.

I was trying to get him today," Scott said. He then proceeded to perform the title track of the tour, CIRCUS MAXIMUS, which features The Weeknd on guest vocals.

The Weeknd will bring his After Hours Til Dawn tour to Sydney on Tuesday, 22 October, and Wednesday, 23 October.

After kicking off his CIRCUS MAXIMUS Australian tour at Sydney’s Allianz Stadium on Thursday, The Music’s Jake Fitzpatrick declared in a live review:

The CIRCUS MAXIMUS tour at Allianz Stadium is not just a concert; it’s a cultural moment, an unforgettable experience that redefines what a live performance can be. As fans emerge from the mosh pit, soaked and charged like batteries, it’s clear that Travis Scott has once again proven himself as a titan of the stage—a visionary artist whose impact on music and culture will echo on his juniors for years to come.
