Joining him on the dates as a special guest is none other than Doja Cat, who shares a hit with The Weeknd in "You Right." Tickets for the shows go on sale here Thursday, March 10 at 10 AM local time. Ticketholders for The Weeknd's canceled shows will have access to a special presale starting tomorrow, March 4.

World Food Programme’s critical food assistance to communities on the brink of starvation, in countries like Ethiopia, Madagascar and Yemen." Tefaye will contribute $500,000 of his own money to the fund on top of a $1 million donation from World Food Program USA.
