The Weeknd announces his first international tour including a performance at House of Blues New Orleans on Tuesday June 12, 2012! The emerging Alternative R&B artist, Abel Tesfaye, has swept the nation with his rich compositions complementing his texturized vocals and intricate songcraft. With support from friend and fellow Hip-Hop artist Drake, the artist and producer from Toronto, Canada has released a trilogy of albums last year beginning with House of Balloons which was named #1 album of 2011 by Complex magazine, winning over recent albums by Drake, Jay-Z, and Kanye West. Within the rest of 2011, he released Thursday and Echoes of Silence receiving high acclaim from the likes of Pitchfork, MTV, and Rolling Stone.
