The Weeknd Gets Annual Holiday in Canada for Super Bowl Performance

In honour of his halftime Super Bowl show, Toronto mayor John Tory announced the city’s decision to enshrine Feb. 7 as an annual holiday called “The Weeknd Day.”

During his Super Bowl LV headlining show, The Weeknd performed a cinematic medley of some of his biggest hits.

As the Canadian crooner previously hinted, The Weeknd’s halftime show matched the theme of his 2020 masterpiece After Hours.

He kicked off the performance with “Starboy” while wearing his “Blinding Lights” all black look with a sparkling red coat. The singer was joined on stage by a large chorus as he danced across various illuminated sets.
