if OPN joins and es dev does design again, on paper that'll be hard to beat for tour of the decade at the end of all this
Es Dev not going anywhere IMO

From Esquire
The show—the whole tour—was going to be bigger, grander, more ambitious than what he’s done before. He and his team had imagined a theatrical experience, like a three-act play or a rock opera telling the story of the character from the “Blinding Lights” video, a bloodied, beat-up man in a sharp red jacket, desperately trying to f***, drink, d*** (maybe murder?) his way out of heartbreak and into emotional maturity. It would be a new iteration of the Weeknd, one that would take him into the second decade of his career. If the concept for Starboy, his last major tour, was all about interaction with the audience—as he puts it, “getting them to play along and sing along and jumping with them, you know, mosh pitting”—then this tour would be about distanced storytelling. Not intimacy with the crowd or letting the fans get close to him but letting them witness an experience he’s created. Less symbiotic, more parasitic. “The audience wouldn’t really exist to me,” he says. “I’d be in my own world.”

Wow... Unprecedented fr
He needs to drop new avi material too
Soon as he changes his social avis it’s over
worst feeling i have is that he's gonna play until i bleed out instrumental as like a transition or something and not perform it. i think he might do this with the repeat after me instrumental as well tho so wonder which he'd pick

prepare for things like that or even a lot of songs getting scrapped.don't see KL and MDM getting performed at all at the moment.
Starboy,IFIC,CFMF,The Hills,Earned It,BL,SYT,Heartless are the only locks i think.

you think he cuts often? also IYE is a lock too

dunno, he might switch things up every other tour date. perform often/TYF or Party Monster/reminder. but there's gonna be a lot of deep cuts getting cut
