The Weeknd played the Super Bowl LV Halftime Show, which is going down at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' home of Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, with the Bucs taking on the Kansas City Chiefs. He made his grand entrance walking out of a car in a mock Vegas backdrop, and then made his way into the stadium where he was backed by a gospel choir and played "Starboy" into "The Hills." Then for "Cant Feel My Face," he headed into a trippy maze of funhouse mirrors, where he was bombarded by dancers whose faces were covered in The Weeknd's trademark face bandages.
He made his way out of the maze for "I Feel It Coming," "Save Your Tears," and then "Earned It," the latter of which saw him joined by a live orchestra. Finally, Abel hit the actual field, which was packed with those face-bandage-covered dancers, and he reached all the way back to the title track of his debut 2011 mixtape House of Balloons. Abel kept the '80s vibes of that Siouxsie and the Banshees-sampling track going with his new wavey 2020 hit "Blinding Lights," which ended his set with a bang. The whole thing was pretty spectacular (lots of fireworks), and he sounded great. Watch his full performance and view the setlist below.
