The Weeknd is preparing to take on a show, unlike anything he has ever done.
Ahead of his much-anticipated Super Bowl performance, the ‘Blinding Lights’ singer answered various questions in a press conference on February 4, giving new insight into his performance.
More details below…
The star, real name Abel Tesfaye, verbatim declared “there will be no guests.” He added that it “didn’t fit the narrative.”

As for what fans can expect as far as stage design, he said:
“Due to COVID and for the safety of the players and the workers, we built the stage within the stadium. We’re also using the field as well, but we wanted to do something we’ve never done before, so we built the stage in the stadium. I’m not going to tell you anything else because you’ll have to watch on Sunday.”
Despite the singer’s graphic music videos, he ensured that the show will be family-friendly:
“For sure, I definitely want to be respectful to the viewers at home. I will still incorporate some of the storyline. It’s a very cohesive story I’ve been telling throughout this era and throughout this year. So the story will continue, but definitely we’ll keep it PG for the families. I’ll try my best.”
As for what conclusions the viewers draw from the performance, he said:
“I don’t like to spoon-feed the audience. Hopefully, they can pick up some of their own theories and conclusions of what the show is saying and the story I’m telling in the performance.”
The GRAMMY-winner reportedly spent $7 million of his own money on the show, so it could meet his vision (as we reported here)..

So he’s riding solo???? What??? It’s too risky for him to say that💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿 Even maroon 5 has big boi & Travis Scott for guests. Should’ve invited his ex h o e Selena Gomez🤳🏿🤳🏿🤳🏿
His ego clearly bigger than his D, my Diva!!! 💯🤣
😂🤣😂 I heard he has a small d. No wonder selena still has a thang for Justin Bieber💅🏿💅🏿Go team! My Queen 👑 & 👠. Trashy bish will never. Glad we end her 🤳🏿🤳🏿🤳🏿
Trashy BISH and tofu bish both been gone now, it’s great yasssss 💯🤣 Go team!!!!!
No guests cause no one wanted to join him on stage. Apart from Ari who he collaborated with on Love Me Harder (basically her own song) no one CBA to collab with this messy h**
Facts💅🏿💅🏿 Lana de ray won’t be a good choice either. Her vocal will turn the Super Bowl Into some kinds of sanctuary. 😴🥱Zzzzzzz I would love to see them performing Lust For Life tho. That was my song💋💋💋
It’ll be as exciting as this press conference was lmao.
Lol this man thinks he’s Beyoncé. He has not ONE memorable performance. They couldn’t get nobody else?
Not. One.
He can’t sing or dance and he expects to carry a 24 minute show by himself? This is about to be the lowest halftime show ever
