It was announced last month that The Weeknd would play a one-off secret London gig, and the only way you would be able to see him is to apply through the Island Records website, as limited tickets were available for the show.
All the details were secret but it was announced that those that won the chance to go, were going to be driven to and from the venue. Today it was seen that The Weeknd was not performing in a traditional venue in London, but was performing on an island, yes Island Records had The Weeknd performing on an island, how symbolic and cool is that?
Now for the unlucky XO fans that missed out on an adventure, that’s where social media will make you feel better. Videos and pictures from the show were on Twitter and even Snapchat, so it felt like you were still a part of the show. He also previewed a new song at the show, which is untitled at the moment. It could possibly be a new track from his upcoming album ‘Beauty Behind The Madness’. Below are some pictures and videos from the secret gig, which took place on the inhabited Osea Island in the estuary of the River Blackwater, located in Essex.
