On May 11, Hyundai Card announced that the 'Hyundai Card Super Concert 28: The Weeknd' will be held at Goyang Sports Complex on October 7 and 8 at 7:45 p.m.


This Hyundai Card Super Concert will be the third in the series to attract an audience of 100,000, following Coldplay in 2017 and Bruno Mars in 2023.


The Weeknd is considered one of the most influential artists of the 21st century, credited with bringing 'alternative R&B'—a fusion of R&B, hip-hop, and electronic music—into the mainstream. In 2023, he became the first artist on global music streaming platform Spotify to surpass 100 million monthly listeners, and his hit single 'Blinding Lights' reached a Guinness World Record in August last year as the first song to surpass 5 billion streams on Spotify.


The Weeknd has maintained his popularity since rising to fame in 2011. His album 'Hurry Up Tomorrow,' released last year, debuted at number one on the Billboard album chart in its first week.


This Super Concert is part of The Weeknd's 'After Hours Til Dawn' stadium tour, which has set records among male solo artists with 153 performances and a cumulative audience of approximately 7.5 million since July 2022.


This will also be The Weeknd's second performance in Korea. In 2018, he showcased a reinterpretation of the R&B genre to Korean fans through the 'Hyundai Card Culture Project.' This time, he will present his unique and trendsetting musical world.


The popular Japanese hip-hop duo Creepy Nuts will also appear on stage as the opening act.


A Hyundai Card representative commented, "As one of the most influential pop stars of the 21st century, The Weeknd will return with the Hyundai Card Super Concert to deliver a performance of an entirely different scale and significance at the peak of his career."


Tickets will be sold through NOL Ticket. Hyundai Card members will have exclusive pre-sale access starting on May 20, and general sales will begin on May 21. Ticket prices vary by seat for reserved seating, while standing tickets are priced at 189,000 won, and the Standing Early Entry Package is 469,000 won. Hyundai Card payments will receive a 10% discount (up to four tickets per person).


The concert is open to those aged 19 and over. Further information can be found on the Hyundai Card DIVE application, the official website, and the official Instagram account.



'Hyundai Card Super Concert' is the company’s flagship cultural marketing brand, launched in 2007. It has elevated the standard of Korea's concert culture by hosting world-renowned artists such as Beyonce, Paul McCartney, Coldplay, and Bruno Mars.
