Saturday night, the Weeknd transformed U.S. Bank Stadium into a futuristic, post-apocalyptic wasteland with impeccable production design and a steady stream of the Toronto native’s gloomy, boomy electronic pop songs that dabble in everything from goth rock to hip hop.

While many of his hits arrive cloaked in a dark sonic snarl, the man born Abel Tesfaye makes them truly special with his angelic voice that’s often reminiscent of the late Michael Jackson. The sold-out crowd danced throughout the two-plus-hour show and often sang along.

The Weeknd performed on what may be the largest stage yet at the Vikings’ stadium, with a cross-shaped catwalk that nearly extended the length of the stadium floor. A gigantic screen towered over his live band and it, along with a series of strategically placed smaller ones, alternated between live footage of the Weeknd and trippy visuals. An endless series of lights, as well as bracelets given out to audience members, flashed along to the beat. Also, sometimes the stage shot towers of fire so intense you could feel the heat they generated.

The show featured about 30 figures wearing blood-red tunics and creepy masks solemnly marching across the stage like brainwashed members of a cult. It’s not really accurate to call them dancers, but they brought a stylish flourish to an evening full of them.

As for the Weeknd, he wore a black and gold sequined frock that gave, well, heavy cult leader vibes. For the first 15 minutes, he also wore a mask and when he finally removed it, the audience cheered at his wide, welcoming grin.

The set list featured much of “Hurry Up Tomorrow,” The Weeknd’s sixth and most recent album, along with his hits and more obscure numbers drawn from throughout his 15-year career. The numbers often bled into each other, like a live version of a mixtape or DJ set. At one point during the first hour, he stopped to bask in the applause and said, “Wow. Wow … this is a very loud crowd.”

During “Out of Time” he stepped down onto the arena floor to slap hands with fans and even let a young woman croon a few lines. That led straight into one of his finest singles, “I Feel It Coming,” which he turned into a stadium-wide group sing.

Other highlights included his revved-up, discofied take on his 2015 smash “Can’t Feel My Face” and an equally thrilling “Open Hearts” from his new record. He originally made them both with his frequent collaborator Max Martin, the Swedish super producer who has worked with everyone from Britney Spears to Coldplay.

Opening act Playboi Carti joined the Weeknd for a pair of their joint tracks, “Timeless” and “Rather Lie,” that had the crowd nearly squealing with glee. Same for the towering 2019 hit “Blinding Lights,” which stands as the most-streamed song ever on Spotify.

Throughout the evening, the 35-year-old sang with a voice that’s as strong as it’s ever been as he effortlessly shifted between soft sweetness and husky roughness.

The Weeknd has been heavily hinting as of late that he’s about to end the whole Weeknd project. Some have speculated he wants to move into acting, even though his HBO drama “The Idol” and his semi-autobiographical feature film named after his latest record both flopped with critics and fans.

If Saturday was indeed a goodbye from the Weeknd, he’s leaving us at the top of his game.
